I certainly didn't like every one of his offerings, but poetry was enriched by his writing and he will be missed.

The squat pen rests.
I'll dig with it.'

74 is relatively young too! One of the first reviews I read on this site was milo bashing someone for saying that their poem was written in the style of Seamus Heaney. Big Grin
