John was a brilliant poet with many talents. Thank you for your lovely tribute to him Phyl. He would find this endearing. A great loss to our poetry world. His words will live on. May he enjoy the afterlife and his words give comfort to his family and friends. Blessings xxoo

I am sorry that he died> I never got to know him but at one time, I guess he had been active here (before I came along). Are you able to do posts at blogs? Would you like me to blog this for you if you are unable to? Let me know by Soupmail, dear.

It is sad when a poet dies, but we are lucky as we have their words to remember them..
