A good tribute, I liked the opening rhymed couplet and the repeat of the device at the end but think a little more work is needed.

Indeed a great poetry but one can expose not impose in creative pursuits… In my knowledge [I beg your excuse] poetry is matter of inside of poet where no one can enter … Voted 10+ Ms. Nivedita UK

I too have that passion for music and know how it feels to play a piece that means more to you than just the ink on the paper, good job

'raise your voice and let's sing together O fallen leaf, O fallen feather! '- it is for lines such as this that I have weathered many a storm in the search..fine writing.

This is a poem of praise to a great poet of poetry (I read and commented on 'A blissful') Wish' that the 'sun wont decend on from now to the end'.Your poem praise his teaching us poetry; an aria teaching us songs of poetry' telling tales of Indonesis, and 'lessons of life's fate, forgivness and happiness.' through this poem, I've meet another poet friend-again thanks for sharing this well deserved 10+++ poem
