... it is lonely, the place we all call home, ....


Poem Artwork

The Den is quiet.  Too quiet,
almost ... funeral.  No --- not
the word I wanted, but it is

lonely, the place we all call
home, without your words,
your love, YOU.  Ghosts of

poetry haunt the corners and
wing upward on the prayers
being said on your behalf ---

can you hear or feel them?
Get better, Georg.  Need you
here, where you belong ...

(c) 2010, Karla Dorman (6/7)

Thank you for this, Karla. I've been away from the Den
and just returned, unaware of Georg's illness. I join
those who wish him well for a fast recovery. The Den is
not the same without Georg. -gene.

Wonderfully said. I add my prayers and best wishes, as I, too, want him "here, where you belong ..."

God bless you, Kathy

His mind is like no other and his rapier words of intelligence, knowledge and multi-lingua, beaten out in poems or left as witty and unique observations in review, are beyond compare. Like you I feel the draught of his absence like a screen door flapping... Sensitive and real, Karla. xx

You have such a gift for weaving the observations of our daily toils into such wonderful lines of reflection and verse. I hope he's okay as well. Too quiet here indeed.

After being on Authors Den for, heading into three years, there are a number of people that I feel honored to call, "friend," and Georg is one of them. I know he has a number of medical problems that he is, very bravely, faceing. My hope, of course, same as yours, is to see Georg back on-line again.
