I shed mnany tears at his passing, such is the power of the written word.

In fact, I was quite surprised when I once asked in a post if anyone had a favorite poet, and those who responded all did have one. For whatever reason, my mind dwells almost entirely in the distant past in terms of poetry. It is like the curtains were drawn on it for me sometime between the world wars.<br /><br />I like the Dave King poem you have included in your post, CiL, and will be re-reading it and thinking about it for some time.<br /><br />I also admire your admiration for a poet and his work, and your memorial tribute to him.Fram Actualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540773153894050197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-65914340073411487412013-10-14T00:31:16.310+01:002013-10-14T00:31:16.310+01:00I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Dave, bu...I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Dave, but the words of his poem, and the words from you and the other bloggers that did know him tell me a lot about the man.
