Upon The Death Of Richard Howard, Aged 92

Rating: 5.0


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!

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.

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever. Thus are poems. His poems would live l9ng, even after him…
