Whose poignant memories torment me each night— Yes I read your poems! So fair to see— But have you now forgotten me? ---o--- Do you remember me? And, if Death should come, Close these sad eyes, and make this poet dumb— Would you care what I meant this place to be - Or have you now forgotten me? ---o--- Do you remember me? my dreams and hope To save poets from beeb's slippery slope Or - like dead leaves fallen from the tree, Have you now forgotten me?. for

Re:Tonys Challenge; My Cyberspace Mentor of Long Ago + Part 2 Date Posted:30-09-2020 07:14Copy HTML Oh Les, I remember Lincus so well and with great affection for all the guidance he offered us both in our different ways during the years before going to France. His advice, both practical and spiritual, was that of a sincere friend, though we never met in person. He would love this poem of yours, and will most certainly remember you. I love the way you've written each stanza with complimentary questions on first and fourth lines; the first asking "Do you remember me?" the fourth asking "Have you now forgotten me?" It's a beautiful poem, Les, and brought a tear to my eye, genuinely. Dx Could do with a glass of rosé!

Re:Tonys Challenge; My Cyberspace Mentor of Long Ago + Part 2 Date Posted:01-10-2020 09:19Copy HTML Im sure Lincus would be very touched at this meaningful piece, which, quite aptly is in a time capsule of his friendship at that time years ago and we have now just opened it up again today :) x |

Re:Tonys Challenge; My Cyberspace Mentor of Long Ago + Part 2 Date Posted:01-10-2020 12:21Copy HTML Thanks, David, yes, a friend indeed, (to both of us) and never to be forgotten...ergo, may a time capsule pass on such meaningful sincerity by at least two decades later. (or even more) I'm pleased you liked the wording, Les x Opposites exist by virtue of each other

Re:Tonys Challenge; My Cyberspace Mentor of Long Ago + Part 2 Date Posted:01-10-2020 12:28Copy HTML Both mentor and friend, Sacha, oh that it would be as easy to come by others now and in the future.... intangibility only means that one cannot touch it, so maybe a time capsule could pass on air waves? thanks, Mum x Opposites exist by virtue of each other

Re:Tonys Challenge; My Cyberspace Mentor of Long Ago + Part 2 Date Posted:01-10-2020 12:43Copy HTML Zy I never had the pleasure of knowing Lincus although I've heard you mention him before.
Sometimes friendships drift apart but they leave a lasting affection behind that is never forgotten.
Who knows he may even look in and read your thoughts in words.
A very touching piece...Tony (potleek)

Re:Tonys Challenge; My Cyberspace Mentor of Long Ago + Part 2 Date Posted:04-10-2020 02:59Copy HTML Oh, we shared these words and poems long ago, Tony, I have another beaut he wrote of the 12 Days of Christmas, but these suffice in showing that friendship could have its place in valued times for the future. He was a very nice person, Tony, genuine and a friend in every sense, Zy
