Star Bound - A Tribute to Joshua Bond
Poets, they may come and go
While others are here to stay
And though some you’ll never know
The ones you meet…change your fate
Such were my travels when I was Deep Underground
The harder side of poetry was never the same
When I met a man from Portugal, Mr. Bond
With poetic skill and craft worthy of world fame
And for years the ideas and thoughts he conveyed
Gave me a new perspective when it comes to verse
His collection of works can delve into the soul
With a pragmatic approach to the universe
A philosopher, a free spirit, a romantic
He wrote with peace and balance more often than not
He had a love for nature, his muse, his garden
Joshua always wrote poems to ponder the thought
Poets, they may come and go
Some you meet just by luck or fate
Joshua Bond is now star bound
Destined to be among the greats
Rest in Peace

Hello My Friend,
I found this poem to be a little bit difficult to read because of the lack of visual punctuation and the big spaces between each line. (this problem of spaces could be Neo Poet's fault, not sure...
But I was quite happy with the content, the emotions being expressed and the sincerity your words. You made it real and that is what really counts! Thanks for this, fondly, Cat
