A Winkling in time
Poetry novices and pros alike,
Venturing to a new literary website;
Discover there a mentor to like,
Unexpected guidance by a poet of light.
We choose what to do with remaining days,
Some choose travel, some relax at home;
Lyndon assists newer poets in various ways,
Tutoring others to craft many fine poems.
Life on this Earth would be poorer indeed,
Without various kind souls lending a hand;
Humans would surely be a pathetic breed,
If we lacked altruism's generous stand --
Lyndon shepherding his Winklings to magnificence,
Gift from some higher power, godlike benificence!
Author notes
Reverted to a Sonnet for this. Difficult to find words today; In Honor of Ron's efforts for the rest of us!

Bravo! What great form and a well done tribute to Lyndon. He's a great man and I'm sure he will love reading this.

I'm sure that Lyndon ...
will like your poem.
Sonnets are not all that easy to write, as I am sure he knows, so he should appreciate the effort involved as well as the thought.
