Challenge
One of the most talented and beloved poets has passed away - RIP Leonard Cohen. The challenge would be to pay a tribute by writing a poem inspired by, or dedicated to him.
Traveller
I stayed
with you
in the
Chelsea hotel
on my 8-track
with Imagine
and Blue.
You were the
truest of my
secret friends
with Lennon
and Joni
and my famous
raincoat was
your favourite
colour too.
When times
got tough
and I gunned
the twin webbers
and drove
nowhere much
it was you
who played
the songs
of my youth
that held me
between the
blurred lines
of truth
and sanity.
When you
asked Suzanne
to take you
and she let
the river answer
it whispered
its story and
I travelled too.
