man love your work my friend.
I have a blog, "the world according to cosmos" (https://theworldaccordingtocosmos.com" and a podcast on Spotify and elsewhere, and would love to feature your work as a guest poet. I have made this offer to others on Fan Story and Writing Com whose work I admire. If interested, send me five poems, a bio, photos, links to social media, etc. Once I post it I will send you a link so you share it. I have about 5,000 followers now. Send anything to authorjakecosmosaller@gmail.com. It takes up to a week to post it, once I do so I will send you a link so you can forward it to your friends.

I've always read Mike's poetry and thought, "damn, he's smart" and "damn he's good.". So sorry we will no longer have his brilliant work to read and be inspired by. RIP, Mr. Bell.

A poet's ilk cannot be wrong - because we do, at times, bare our soul with the written word that we can't share in our spiken words, for me anyway. This is a beautiful poem Mike inspired by Roy and beautifully presented from your heart.
Cheers

You made me think with this poem. I had to look up the definition of the "ilk". Ilk is a type of person or thing similar to those already referred to. Really like your first verse. Great writing.

Very much enjoyed, Mike. I hope you can read this review wherever you are.
You left too young, you still had so many wonderful poems to share with us.
I read this with a heavy heart.
Godspeed.

I did enjoy the read, Mike, I wish you were here for me to tell you 'in person' but I'm sure you're seeing this.
Thanks for all your words... :)

Mike, I did enjoy the poem. I must admit I got hung up on the first stanza with "throng." In my first reading, I thought it was "thong." A muse in a thong, this is going to be different for Mike.
But then I realized it was "throng." I then thought a muse's throng could be the opposite of writer's block.
So, I did have fun with the first stanza, and the rest of the poem is good too! Nice work. Terry.

Truer words were never penned. And this is why we will continue to write - inspired by the likes of Mike, who put his heartfelt dreams to song and captured the hearts of his readers. RIP, my friend. You will be missed...

How wonderful! Sharing one of Mike's posts for everyone to reflect o his thoughts as well as his ability to write. It is very touching and gives food for thought to each of us. How sad that the world has lost someone with so much talent to share.
Hugs, Carol
