This is a very deep question a the heart what creativity and uniqueness is in general. So I thought the imaginary gardens he occasionally mentioned were open poetry mikes in places he spoke it in his city (odd I dont recall where it is... you see, he had things to say and especially like my local photos of things... as if say he walked had thru the town with me or was part of our Thanksgiving dinners) This sort of connection transcends words and radiates poetry. If in a memorium we find the most difficult thing of which to work into a poem I would not be up to it good enough. Then again it feels like what we have tried has his help, or that which in us we too lit up to radiate thru his beckoning finding beyond the net a real portal. The measure of a poet is perhaps how deep he can read others yet not be changed, not cloud things by lesser moods. That to me is more difficult than the writing poems...he inspired a sense of trust that welcomed his influences.L.
