Jon, Jack Lewis literally lives in this beautifully conceived
and lovingly executed tribute. The writing is marvelous, line
for line. Hence, I suggest that the last line, "colorful
memories parading in an artisitic mind," apply equally to Jack
Lewis and Jon Willey. -gene.

Jon - Enjoyed the physicality of the images that create such a vivid portrait I almost feel I could reach out and shake hands with.

Jon,
Not a pause - comma break - till the 13th line and after that only three others, but it's not about pauses, it's about fluency of expression and more importantly, fluency and depth of feeling; here's someone you care for, admire, Jack Lewis, the man and artist, doer, worker, creator. Love the use of place names heightening the solidity of the artist, grounding, placing him in a life and location perspective.
Fine, fine work...no surprise coming from you.

and in the beauty of this... "Of Jack and Art"
I can nearly see his strokes of love upon his canvas
patterns of colors of passions & blends of emotions
a wonderfully crafted tribute to Jack Lewis...
Peace, Love & Inspirations

I concur with Victoria's review, Jon, and add: I admire (and envy)
the rhythms (and the erudition) of this skillfully crafted poem.
Applause, applause. -gene.

I can get lost in the beauty & the wisdoms exploring this wonderful poetic expression Jon...a heart speaking embracement
I love how this gripped me:
"complexity stirred the pot of imaginations
vulnerability danced and kicked heels high
only the faithful and simple minded
refused participation in the high stakes ruse"
and the drifters echoe cries...
Peace, Love & Inspirations
& I am so very happy you are doing better these days Jon!
Love & Blessings
