I heard yr voice
In the inner ear
Knowing of yr death
By my eyes
And again, my ears are
Tricking me
Stopping my heart
In its tracks
LeeAnn, I love all of your poetry. And you pay homage to not only the famous, but also, to those less known. That's an outstanding trait to have. Please never lose it!
I value the value the life of a poet. He can't die. His art has made him immortal. RIP
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever. Thus are poems. His poems would live l9ng, even after him…
This is a fine, heartfelt tribute to a literary giant, LeeAnn. Well done.

Thanks for the poet's note, LeeAnn. I wondered who Richard Howard was. One of my favorite singers, C. W. McCall, just passed away at 93.
