Laurie Van der Hart

A wonderful poetess who's poetry many times focuses on issues of importance regarding moral issues and injustices so commonplace in today's anything goes society, her range of thought is indeed deep.

re my comment to your Jellyfish poem, I think I meant it was both a good thing and a bad that there was an explanation for the jellyfish

Laurie has imagination in abundance. Her poems are always interesting.

Laurie's work ranges from matters of conscience and social justice to experiences that tug her heartstrings. I could apply many adjectives: fresh, whimsical, caring, nature-loving, life-affirming, knowledgeable, grateful. The poems selected here give evidence of her identity as a world citizen..

Dear Laurie, Thank you for your beautiful poems. I sincerely hope that you will stay on this site and continue writing your great poems Yehualashet Teshome

I was surprised, shocked and angry that this could happen. Dear Laurie with the intelligent mind and golden heart, You're too smart to leave, I reckon. Missing your Bear and those oldies from that appartment. I wrote a brevity upon your leaving the site, " African Train Trip" , no more now. I love all your poems, fascinating ones with that tinge humor

Stopped by to check on old friends, and was assaulted by a sensory onslaught. Reminds me of the old Myspace before it became defunct under the weight of its own advertising greed. I salute and stand in solidarity with your position. Beyond that, I pray you enjoy a blessed and inspired New Year. Take care, my friend. Seamus
