Sad news today
Our beloved former president
Has died

Heavens gates
Have opened
And taken him inside

But we here on earth
Mourn his passing
As we look back on his life

A decent man of integrity
A lover of his nation, freedom
And his wife

It’s with a sad heart
And much despair
That we see his journey end

But his legacy will live on
As a great leader
And a friend [comments] => 2 [counter] => 162 [topic] => 55 [informant] => Jeff_Scott_Morehead [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )

Is this a poem, or a funeral speech with the punctuation hacked out? It's not very moving, either, if that's what you'd intended. Furthermore, if only by content, the poem overlooks much, glorifying Reagan's debt and purposefully ignoring whatever he may have done against the nation (do I hear the word 'debt'?)

Obviously there is not coherent rhythm, which is appreciable as a show of talent even in free verse, and as a tribute I guess it's as good as any wreath of flowers. I admire your devotion to his admirability, but honestly--

I'm not sure Reagan would really enjoy such "glowing praise."

With full respect to PoetryGodsLove, to which the poem seemed of zenith ability, I'm thinking you might have been able to put more time into the poem, instead of just dashing it out...for the sake of dashing it out. Are you truly happy with this?

"Yet he who wanders will never find his way home."
