In the beginning there was one poet whose soul was strong and true he threw open wide his loving arms and then the one was two. Word spread quickly of his place a home for poets to rest and in coming together in passion we’ve surely become the best As we increase in quantity may our quality stay the same without ego, without pretense without glory, without fame A tribute fair to Ron it seems is just a beginning chorus how can we thank him enough for all that he’s done for us Though we cannot make you guru or proclaim you deity Ron, our mentor, we honor you for a home for our poetry. |

Here here...Bravo!! You wrote that quite tastefully I must say and I'm one who is happy about becoming a member here and enjoying new friendships. It's true I have learned a lot too, and I think the quality of my own personal poetry has increased somewhat..........Thanks for this PDV ! It's a wonderful tribute. I don't know Ron very well but he's done a masterful job here providing this service for all of us. For that I tip my hat to him! |

I've gotta admit - I'm a bit subjective, I know - But everything she says is true....    |

What a lovely tribute to Ron and the people of Passions, Sharon. We did come from humble beginnings, but together we grow more each and every day. I personally don't know what I would have done without a safe haven to go to when I needed it most. Thank you, Ron for sharing this place with us all. All writing comes |

Thank you Poet deVine for writing such a nice poem for the MAN who we all should be honoring. Would someone from England see if the Queen Mother would mind christening him as "Sir Ron". |
