I do hope that if anything happens to me that more members than this would say something..
Judy was a main stay of Neopoet for quite a while, she is a published author and should be honoured by more of our members, if Lonnie, Jess, Steven and our Richard were still here, they would have made a flurry of comments to honour Judy,
Yours disappointed, Ian T Howard, Yenti, and Sparrow..

We have lost So many here over the past few years....... I feel almost numb and feel that I might not be a safe person to know lol. Judy our meter maid, Lonnie the western classic master and Steven our free verse genius. Then there's Jess who finally became a friend and Richard, always working in the shadows to make the site better. now don't YOU get to thinking your time is over also. I'll hunt you down and punch you in the nose then have a beer with you on the other side

The children have made me a seat by the woods.
They have a lovely play area that I can watch from the seat.
I aint planning on joining them as yet, but tears never brings them back.
You know me and the children, so that is where I will be and as there is no time there we are talking together but aren't allowed to see the future lol.
I have told the children that I will help them when I take that journey.
Should you arrive there, ask Sadie, ( Sadie appears as a 12 year old and always dresses in Jellow as she calls it ) Ask for me or just whisper my name, anyway that is later lol
I haven't heard from Our Joe for about a year have you any news of him ??
As the good die young we both will reach out for 100 lol Take care young woodsman and know we are but a thought away, You Ian ..

I have heard nothing from Joe.....but that might mean since we've not heard otherwise that he is still fighting.

a friend and a damn good poet. She was always there to lend a hand. So sorry to have
lost her participation in this great experiment that we call Neo. I'm ashamed to have been so inattentive. Ian's right, she deserves much more than a casual goodbye and thanks. So sorry for the loss to her family and friends. I'm sure that she is wherever great poets and scholars like her go. ~ Geezer.

When there is a proper talk on Judy and her life with us.. I will forward the words to her Sister in law in Aussie I have already sent the first words but a tribute from more would be better..
Take care young one and know all our poets are special.
Yours as always Ian ..

I am not sure if you also know of the passing of the Moonman and Lonnie, this was a great shock to me. Moonman edited my book "One Love Two Worlds" so I have something of him always..
I hope you are returning to us here, we need more that know the ways of Neopoet.
Nothing we can do about the evolving world and the losses but I know that one day we will all meet again on another plain.
I will leave you be, Take care and know you are in our thoughts always, Yours as always, Ian ..

Thanks for your update, the universe has been enhanced with our poets, I bet they are causing Havoc, or just playing with the words of the universe forming another Neopoet site there in the stars,
One day we will all meet again,
Yours Ian T ..

Whichever of us goes first of us my brothers and my father will make sure of our places at the eternity table. We can shoot the breeze. Collaborating in the stars and of the stars. Our poems will be in that finality be perfected will be much too overwhelming and sacred that mere mortals will cover their eyes in the brightness of the word

Love always and forever

I suppose that if you don't want to meet in the other world, then I shall wander the universe in mourning for eternity..
Even JC had to visit us from some place lol.
Your reading is limited by your bias young traveller.
I suppose the 125 tapes I have which is around 200 hrs of talking must be a mystery and the children that spoke to me are Audio imagination..
Seriously though when you do pop your clogs just whisper my name and I will help you through the testing times, the children tell me that you have to judge yourself in all that you have done on what ever plain.. Then you will know how far from perfection you have become.
Take care young disbeliever if I don't hear from you over there I will seek you out lol,
Yours Ian ..

Then you will know
how far from perfection??????
you Ian have become.
Take care young/old man
be no disbeliever
disbeliever

I never ever want to believe disbelievers
what
I had died for 10 minutes
then survived my heart beat revived
of its own

Believe me You all must apply your minds
A foolish guy told my mom at 13 I would or should die
THEN a few years on he passed away
and now till 80 I still have my way

Nothing Beyond Beyond
I still say
you did not read
Ian
at least now you may
Corona passes our way
every day

that man must have been speaking metaphorically. He was speaking of your spiritual death. You have nothing to believe in except yourself and you know that it is not forever. Ten minutes is not enough to see anything of the afterworld. You weren't meant to see it because you weren't going to stay dead. ~ Geezer.

My Aussie sister, it wasn't that I didnt want to comment here among our shared friends. It was that in this place of words and emotion where we met acknowledging your death made it true. What can I say ? And there is so much I could say, you were a supreme wordsmith but before that you were a Mum, grandmother great aunt and so much more. Judy was a nurse and spent most of her life caring for others. She was a finder of lost souls making them see over time they (or me) in this case could go on and I did. The loss of Judy's son to a tragic accident was a beautiful inspiration for many of her poems, there was a part of her soul that was always a shrine to his memory. Over the years we became good friends and then sisters, she always asked after my health and I of hers. She was a rock to me I remember her asking how I was one time and my reply was more importantly how was hers. She told me when they ceased treatment a few months back I knew then my beautiful Judy would be with her son again soon. She was of the west coast me on the East. I was devastated when I learnt of her passing as right up to a week before she passed she was still active on Facebook. Judy was a published poet and she was one of my favourite poeple poets on this planet. We had a conversation when she found out she had cancer. I remember a comment she made that she hoped her story would be a cautionary tale to anyone with a health concern. She said being a nurse she should have known better and to investigate any lumps no matter where they were in your body. We lost a bright bright light when this gorgeous soul moved on. She had great faith and I know this was an immense comfort to her. So i will say Goodbye here in this place where we met and I am slowly saying my goodbye in words and in good time I will share them here in this sacred space where we met.

We will in gods grace meet again, I love you.

I sit here and think quietly of the poems being written in the ether. Lonnie. Steven, Jess, Judy and Richard. Wow. What a great loss to the world.

Just Wow.

We are lucky to have shared the same space with these people and they will not easily be forgotten. Thank you for the beautiful testimony about Judy, she will be greatly missed. ~ Gee.

We were so lucky and I think I still am. I have a family that built up over time and tears, Joys and fears. Over time the layers of self preservation we all armour ourselves with fell away we learnt we could be vulnerable without fear of ridicule. Gee you were at first a wonderful friend to me then as time moved on you became my American brother and "Killer" poet. When you step away from that and write of your heart and soul. Thats just something else entirely.

There were moments of pure rapture in word. As I wrote that I thought of Anna. Her poetry inspired me to be better she is just that good. Omg Steven jesus he was something else wasn't he. The greatest compliment I ever got was that in that I was at times an echo in a dress. Lol Steven rarely wrote on my poetry but he often private messaged me. He wanted to know where I pulled a certain word or title or line from. I was heavily inspired in my freestyle poetry by him. Lonnie was an amazing friend to me a brilliant poet. I've got close to Chrys and Jess through his and Chrys marriage. Theres two other amazing poets right there. Lastly here ? My darling combatant Jess. He was soooo mean to me. Lol literally thought he hated my guts and then I find out its all a ruse to get my head out of my arse and write what I was born to do I miss them all so much. Richard and I wrote different sorts of poetry but I often read his work and commented. When I was the Chair in tge AEC he was of great help to me it was an honour to have existed in the same place ok that took me ages to write. Lol literally the suns coming up and it feels right to leave this in the still beauty of this Saturday Morning most of my communication was done in the cover of night. Damn they were good poets. But so so much more rich in heart anr soul. As are you my brother.

Higgliest bugs and love #Always.
