A northerner, a scholar and a bard
Enthusiastic master of the word
Old guard by choice but also avant garde
A poet, artist, fan of the absurd
A mentor, leader, coach and versifier
His lines are scribbled with a wordsmith’s heart
Collaborator able to inspire
those grateful for the wisdom he imparts
This tribute may be sentimental mush
but thanks are due and sometimes must be said
and as I have a tendency to gush
a sonnet seemed to fit the bill instead
Such beauty in the poems he has penned
A man I’ve never met but call my friend
