Farewell Simon


A Poem by alternative_be
"
Dutch poet Simon Vinkenoog died July 12th... He is the "Old Poet" in my poem with the same name.
"

 

Eyes and ears of the nation
With never ending imagination
 
Pathos was your cheek
Your joy every picture’s compliment
 
Infecting your readers
Letting us long in awe
 
Nearly every day
Leading us astray
 
Wandering through
Your never ending stories
 
Words promoted to gems
Gave you everything to express yourself
 
Your discoveries, instantly shared
A media figure? No, more credit! Pretty please!
 
Master of eclectics
Reformer of heuristics
 
No stuffy library for you
Online media suited you fine
 
Driven by Sturm und Drang
Driven, driven and suddenly: ‘Bang’
 
We wished for you to live towards eternity
Only alchemists knew how …
 
Sadly but alas, their tireless efforts in vain
Remained to no avail
 
They refused to break ancient codes
Denying your raving poetic quests
 
No ‘herb’ was able to help you now
For you have left us
 
I am writing, hoping, maybe
You will remembered in our thoughts.
