* * * I need a quick vacation-- comforting as fresh baked bread. A pillow of soft place to land inside of seymour's head. There, the world is magical. Butterflies fly free. There I do not have to fight to find serenity. Gentle, as a whispered wind. A warm hug from a long lost friend. Coffee, steaming in the cold, Within dark cave, a glint of gold. I wish that I could wander here, to view the world as through his eyes. It's cozy as a Hobbit's home-- inside of seymour's mind. * * * |

You've surely succeeded to see the world through Sy's eyes. What wonderful words you've penned down. I can see him smiling at you right now. Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

Absolutely Sy, Ser. Oh how he will be missed here! But you are right, he has left lasting impressions on all of us. .....jojo [This message has been edited by iliana (01-26-2008 11:54 PM).] |

"I wish that I could wander here, to view the world as through his eyes." I know what you mean, and you gave us a lovely glimpse of the world inside his precious, poet's head. Love & Everlasting Life, Linda |

Oh K, reading Sy was much like cuddling up near a cozy fireplace with a Hobbit story in one hand and a mug of hot cocoa in the other. Thanks for sharing 'your Sy' with us. |

Beautiful! Actually no one had to fight to find serenity in his words, they were just there. |

I'm sure we'd all be a bit better if we were to look at the world the way our dear Sy did. A lovely tribute... ~alyssa Hupomeno. |

Isn't it wonderful that Seymour makes us all softly smile in remembering him? I think so ...~ *Huglets* ~*Me ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

"Gentle, as a whispered wind. A warm hug from a long lost friend. Coffee, steaming in the cold, Within dark cave, a glint of gold. I wish that I could wander here, to view the world as through his eyes. It's cozy as a Hobbit's home-- inside of seymour's mind." This is 'him', Karen... and it's beautiful... I'm sorry I missed this before, but I'm glad I found it tonight... Sy is truly missed... "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." --Jimi Hendrix |

y'know, honey... I've been doing some looking back... and Sy didn't always have to rhyme his poetry, nor mind his similes, or smile his metaphors...they just kinda took place within this thoughts, and he never allowed us to critique his genius... he just allowed that we were what we are. and when he adored us, over one or another write he left a simple message of approval. Your poem [yes, I noted it before, but I'm here to 'splain'] acknowledges exactly what Seymour Tabin did for Passion in Poetry.... he let the world explore... and he exemplified Ron's quest. Thank you, again, for honoring him in such a heartfelt way. |
