A Tribute to Ron, Master Poet To his talent and his gracious spirit Pallid is this ink of passion That would sketch a poet face Frail the arms of veneration That would hold him in embrace Humble are the eyes that cradle thoughts that breathe his hallowed space He who sits atop a rock-cliff He who casts a boulder’s weight Is the same who scatters petals Lightly by a garden gate Thoughts profoundly wrapped in velvet , pallid ink would consecrate Poignant truths of other ages Wait the morn of their rebirth Gentle birds with fragile feathers Captured in a petal verse Folded into paper pages, pressed between the sky and earth Oh, what manner of a poet Could contrive such splendid tales Only few could tread the waters Where he glides on starlit trails As his eyes reach out to touch my spirit, -Then away he sails!

You've always been my Lady Santos... but you have always known that. It's when you tribute selflessly that we see you tip your hat; to do that is the Wiz's delight to do that, is all that matters... for delightful is the gifts you bring to all of us mad-hatters! ~*~ Elizabeth...thank you! Love,  |

I totally concur with your eloquent words that aptly describe our illustrious Ron. Not only is he the venerable captain of the Pip Ship Lollipip! He is a fine poet, writer, benefactor and promotor of the poetic arts ~ and he's brilliant to boot! Lady Liz, a fine tribute to a very fine man! Sending a huge hug to each of you!  Linda |

Without Ron's creation of Passions, I would have never met you, dear Liz. That alone would be enough to give eternal thanks. Many friendships have been formed on these blue pages, brought together by a man with a vision and a love of the written word. We are all fortunate to have received the benefits of his desire and hard work. |
