Tribute To Harry Horsman

The old oak tree. So happy I wrote: Lovely! “Let us hear the bluebell call, the daffodil pray, the apple blossom bear witness.” I hip hip hurrah’d this paradigmatic poem. I read it a few minutes ago and thought aww… how do I comment now, so Harry will see. So glad I had read this in the past, before our dear Harry passed. Suddenly, I hear one solitary and full-fledged chirp outside. Has Harry stopped by? Dabbing an eye.

I too chose "The Old Oak Tree" as part of my Tribute, Kim. Harry Horsman's poems are warm in his unique style and are touching to the soul. He was a soulful poet. I will miss him, RIP Harry Horsman.

A lovely idea, indeed, Kim, that Harry is still keeping tabs on this site and his poet friends here.

At least for a sec! I think when the moments are raw, perhaps God allows interaction, then they go on, perhaps checking with close ones sometimes. I guess we will find out one day. Thanks, Jim!
