AUGUSTUS

Louis Gibbs

What has become of our warrior-poet?

It's been a while since last heard from.

Know only he was valiantly marching

Toward the final checkpoint

Prior returning to base.

 

As General MacArthur said;

"Old soldiers never die, they just fade away."

The same must surely hold true of old bards

With a legacy of fine poetry to live on.

    He does on occasion miss a few days but I do hope he is ok.

    Hoping everyone will hear something soon. Holding him in my thoughts.

    Don't know. And yes, you could replace the word 'soldier' with the word 'bard'.

    Augustus and his verses have been much missed and do hope this fine poem and loving comments will be able to help him to battle on.
