The Master Craftsman

A tribute to an amazing writer, Leslie Philibert.

The Master Craftsman

You vacuum pack words,

crafting them carefully

in your Bavarian eyrie,

and place them in crystal clear goblets,

overflowing with colour and meaning.

Like sailing ships in glass bottles,

you let us see the whole story,

shrunken and in digestible detail.

This is truly art.

I enjoyed this poem. The description made the words come alive in vision for the reader. True artist can create and leave us with wonder. Thank you John for sharing the amazing poetry.

Leslie is one of the best.
Your tribute is totally on point John and so very honourable as are you.

Cheers Tony, he is indeed.

It is a delight to come across such craftsmanship that exudes excellence of wordmanship. Really like the analogy here, really makes every written consonant and syllable intertwine smoothly. “Like sailing ships in glass bottles,” this took me to place in my childhood - Great work.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you dear Sir; I am most humbled and grateful.
