Another Poet of the week is upon us and this week I have the absolute pleasure of celebrating the wonderful, talented and superb Mr +Harold Clapsaddle Harold has a skill for imagery in his poems, crafting a vivid canvas of thought with amazing rhyme schemes that really take the writer on a journey. However, Harold is also an amazing Gentleman, always a kind word, a little joke or an insightful comment, his presence within the community is very much appreciated :) Well done Mr :)
In Remembrance of Krishna Mohan

Rise and torn of wireless
my heart is of recoil
left a memory of duress
as my pen is sharp foil.
For it stabs deep my heart
this writ of darkened ink
as a dear poet did depart
let methink not to sink.
For angels sing their welcome
as well Krishna Mohan has passed
thru Pearly Gates as his poems won
my heart that speaks unsurpassed.
Surely all will remember his memory
as he supported so many and their works
his heart was truly poetic given of history
as well will be born what is carried storks.
For of heaven he will surely see
what we of earthly see as victorious
as per writ was his heart hung heavenly
and his support a blessing and glorious.
The birth of broken hearts
have now been stork carried
for as this man of wisdom departs
he receives our goodbyes ferried.
Goodbye my brother
you were my four leaf-clover.
