Strikes the right chord for a Carlos tribute, and beautifully written. Your touch is deft, and appreciated by this author and friend of a man missed by so many. Cheers! Gary.
Friendship proclaimed and it is perfection. The spirit of the man is in your words, and I believe he would proud and humbled (well, as humbled as Carlos could ever be ) by your heartfelt poem. You speak for all of us who miss his presence. Thanks for this.
My grandkids just left... stayed overnight which made me happy. Now they go home to a different house and their Daddy goes to a different house. Not the happiest of New Year's for me, but I am lucky to have such sweet grandchildren.
I love poetry... I love writing it and reading it. I have four collections on GA, some very personal, and some just needing to get out. There is a kind of poetry that annoys me, the obtuse kind that makes me feel talked down to, yet I still applaud the effort of those. Poetry is an amazing release for me, and I have many poems that are written but not posted... too too personal.
I wrote and posted a couple of poems about characters in "Cards on the Table", but they were not included in the story.
This is from @drown upon finishing Morningstar... a lovely poem.

I'm just very happy right now and I wrote this for you:
Beneath the stars, where whispers heal,
Kellar’s touch turns wounds to steel.
Tobyn, his flame, fierce yet kind,
Guides his heart, his soul aligned.
A healer’s howl, a guardian’s light,
Together they pierce the velvet night.
Through shadowed trials, their spirits blend—
Alpha and mate, no storm can end.
You
