Hi, All the poems here are well crafted. It was a delight to read poems like A bad father? and atraffic fatality. Uday Lalan

Inspirational site! Feel like reading some new poems? www.shadowpoetry.com is now featuring my chapbook "Timeless Without Time". Greetings from Germany Timothy

The story here could have been my own. I nearly died in 2000, the family was wondering what to do with my writing. I did make it and with a wee bit of pressure published my first book last Sept. A Poet's Last Stand. Poetry is often called the forgotten art. Glad to see you helping to keep it alive.

Hello every body.. I love poetry and I write and also I read too.. Now I make a Turkish and English Poetry web site.. If you have time Please have a look..www.geocitis.com/siirimiz/ Best Regards.. Murtaza Kalender. www.geocities.com/siirimiz/

Thank you for extending an invitation to view this webpage. Laura aka ~serenepoetress~

This site is simply the best , Well done to its composer as well as content provider. Dr Harry , isnt it about time you wrote a book, (Unless you have already) I would buy a copy. Go for it. Angel Saint

I have a 16 year old daughter, Keesha, who writes beautiful poetry, it must be in the Gilleland genes. Good Work

what a lovely site you have. thanks for sharing.

I read the call of the geese and they led me here. Severine

Dr. Harry, I read a few poems here, and I congratulate you on the beautiful poems. You may remember me from Writing.com as drtaherforkidz.

I like the site, you have an abundance of poems, and talent to match! (I hope my putting a province instead of a state is OK, since I'm from Canada, lol!)

Harry, thought I'd pop in and say another hello! We've been friends for a long time now! You have done a lot for me, and you will never be forgotten. You are the meaning of true friend! (((hugs)))Lisa

:)And she was right! You have the face of a distinguished poet. Knowing you is my pleasure, and my dear, dear friend a cutie is an understatement. You’ve the kind of face that little girls want to hear bed time stories from while stealing bear hugs by an open fire!

I turn to writing as a way to reach for immortality - how appropriate that you should now share your father's poetry with us. Thank you.

Hi Harry! I sure am glad you sent me here...I have added it to my favorites and I am looking forward to reading your beautiful work! See you soon!

Greg, I've been fortunate to get to know your father through Stories.com. I can say with all sincerety, he's a gracious soul and wonderful poet! Fantastic job and a wonderful tribute! Best always!

I truly liked the poems here. I like the website too as it is pleasing to the eye. Like the "round wood frame" around each poem. Nice touch!

I read three and enjoyed them very much. I shall return to read many more.
