Daniel Brick Comments

From time to time I keep coming back to read Daniel Brick quietly under the radar, more than a year after writing 'A Tribute To The Beautiful Poet Daniel Brick', I will finally post it like a sad goodbye.

Daniel, do you happen to know what's happened to Brian Edwards Whitaker? I have not heard of him for quite a time. Thanks in advance for any comment. And please excuse my troubling you.

Daniel suffered a stroke on 16 March 2021 and sadly passed away from Earthly life. He graduated from St. Thomas Academy (1965) and the College of St. Thomas (1969) . He was a teacher for over 30 years.

Poetry was the Joy, War the Grief, and the two were knotted together like Fire in the Lake.--These are the lines from your poem on Robert Bly.Such a wonderful poem!

RoseAnn Shawiak wanted me to send you her phone number to call, but it seems the 'new' PH doesn't give me a chance to send a PRIVATE MESSAGE to anyone here anymore. i wonder if PH is leaving ME out in

A great and very talented poet.....God bless you dear friend.....//

I am very sorry, there are international poets like Daniel Brick, but he hasn’t been known and recognised well, perhaps the reason is due to the decentralized reality of poetry. Otherwise, the poet's style, language and themes are in a very poetic high level, all I wish him a good health and all the best..

wonderful poetry, deep and thought-provoking, I enjoyed his poems so much.

Without your helpful, friendly, academic comments, without your priceless friendship, without your wise words and thoughts, I wouldn't be as confident as I am now. Thank you, my Professor, for being there when I needed you, for writing so wonderfully and for being a guide to me. VIVAT! CRESCAT! FLOREAT!

HE IS A GREAT POET. HE WRITES POEM NICELY.

For Daniel PS Sinicrope A flight of seagulls, A stash of old poems, muses and music, An imaginary garden, A golden skylark, A walk in the woods- These are the things that Unlock his desires And set his soul on fire. Apotheosis achieved On a daily basis In the mind of a man Who sees the world through a magic lens. A black fedora And a large winter coat Obstruct the smiling face And the gentle soul within. He’s free with a laugh, a story And a kind word— An’ irish midwestern’ gentleman to a tee. He’s a a poet’s poet That shares his passion Through imaginative commentary And inspired verse To you, we raise our hands up In a toast of friendship and camaraderie. Happy New Year 2016 Daniel Brick! 
