in his meter and his rhyme
are the stories of our time
pure strokes of poetic pen
make us all remember when

he uses the poet's tools
meter and rhyme the only rules
to tell the story of his life
of the happiness and the strife

and when done, he puts away
the tools used one more day
as we read them on this screen
in them, his heart always gleams

Yes indeed...
a well deserved tribute to one of Passions
most respected poets....
what he does with rhyme, cadence and meter is divine..
and every post is a wisdom kissed lesson of life, love, and poetry.

perfect way to showcase him Sven...
we can all learn much from his example and his grace ...
he inspires us to try for new poetic heights.
His poetry is just so COOL ...
I crave his every word.
(and his every wink)

Sven~

He's the master
of the pen
poetic phrases
flow within

He trips the lightest meter
across a page in time
Syncopated epopees
dance on raptured rhyme

*Sven~  
Thank you for this.

It's true isn't it?  The tools a poet uses, and I believe the heart is the best one!

Hi Sven,

"OH" this is awesome, you have captured Sy the man so well. He has pasted much wisdom on to me, and given me a chance many times to look at things in a better light. You are so sweet Sven, I am sure he loved it.

Love, Cerenity

Sven,
a fitting tribute.

Sy, "a senior moment"?
Be well
