Leonard Nimoy wrote and published books of poetry, and gave public poetry readings... we should celebrate his life for so many reasons!!!

In one of the most interesting stories I've read about the making of Star Trek, there was a comment about the character of Spock.  Initially his role was to be marginalized as just another interesting crew member on the bridge.  But when in an early episode as the good ship Enterprise seemed on its way to certain destruction, Leonard Nimoy adlibbed a line that changed the importance of his character.  While everyone else was freaking out as the ship was tossed to an fro, Nimoy's Spock uttered one word. "Fascinating!"
Thanks poetry man. Live long and prosper.

Or has he even been born yet? Scotty is due to be born in 2022 in Linlithgow near Edinburgh, and yet traditional society tries to tell us he is dead.
Long live the king!

Mr. Nimoy's last bit of poetry was created in his finale tweet.

"A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP," he wrote on Feb. 22.

LLAP back at ya, bud.
