Good short piece and loved the picture to go with it. Says storms come and go and are not to be afraid of and he is a survivor and so are we all. Hugs to you today.

A "home-run" on this, Karla! Georg always displays a considerate and encouraging heart to his fellow authors, and provides good laughs with his Bros. Ed and Ed, too. Edvard, Ed, and Ed...what a trio.
Here's cheers to both You and Georg!
Love ~~ Micke

Ed and Ed and George. All are poets with a difference and I certainly enjoy George's humorous side.
You do him proud.

A student asked Plato: DO YOU BELIEVE IN A POET? His answer was:
~ Whether I believe or not is not the matter; what counts is that I live in such a manner that people believe in Poetry.

"Ode to Poets: Georg Mateos (Tanka Format)" makes me believe in Poetry.

Thank You for honoring a Patriarch of the VERB... A true beloved son of Mother Poet.

Your celebration of the NATIONAL POETRY MONTH will light the poetic torch for a millennia.

Gratefully,

Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

It took me a while to read Georg-- who knows why. But he certainly has a poetic soul. Odd, how life makes such beatiful pieces in the driftwood that comes to its shores-- beat and spent, but wonderful ornamentations for our poetry gardens... YOU ROCK, Georg! --Charlie

Georg has so much life experience from which to take his perfect poems. He's a wonderful person, too.

Karla, you're on a roll with this series and I speak for all of us, I'm sure, when I say how much I'm enjoying it.

Totally spot on, Karla! Georg is a special friend. He not only writes what he has lived (some of it extremely traumatic) but he also has a wonderful sense of humor. Georg is a keeper!
