So nice, I haiku’d twice. A crowd asking for an encore is currently my favorite response to a haiku but I’m not opposed to grander appreciation in the future. Still vibing off this night.Please do enjoy the poems,K. 💋 by @haikuguru

Deveran “Bleek” Ashe was an incredible poet and an even better friend that I lost early in my poetry journey. I attribute much that I have learned about poetry, friendship and life to our brief time together and I hope to honor his legacy by continuing to grow, share, learn and teach. In me, Bleek Lives.
