Michael Walker: A New Zealand Poet Poem by Terence George Craddock

I had been absent a long year or two
I checked on several old poet friends
with curiosity upon my recent return...

to check poems written with anticipation

unexpecedly sadly most had no activity
Michael Walker who I often talked to about
multiple topics literature, books, teaching...

Michael Walker from New Plymouth, New Zealand

last commented on poetry 28 October 2020
never replied to any last messages sent
maybe Covid struck down illness old age...

for whatever reason obviosly a long time gone?

still I revisit old conversations
remember words past not forgotten
revisit old poems talked about
