Poppy was a romantic, home grown poet from the foothills of South Carolina. He walked the trails in the family farm many times all the way up to the day he died and wrote his poems about nature, family, and home.
One of his greatest enjoyments was walking the forests and creeks on the family farm. He panned for gold and left several ounces in a small bottle, when he passed away in 1996 at the age of 72, after an afternoon of walking the farm with one of his grandsons, Alex.
His poems are unique and from the heart reflecting his strong love of his country and its freedoms.
His oldest son, Steve has compiled his poems and written one of the poems to emphasize the love of God’s creatures by his father, as well as Poppy’s humor. Poppy often joked with the worn old line, “you’re a poet and don’t even know it!”
E A Hanvey
E A Hanvey, aka “Poppy” wrote poems for his own enjoyment and reflective thought about things important to him, and what he believed should be to all people. These poems were not really shared until after his death at age 72 in 1996. He wrote about many memories from his life on a farm in McCormick, SC. His oldest son, Steve Hanvey, compiled his handwritten poems from legal sheets on a pad, and added one poem and commentary. All his family, children, and grandchildren especially, loved his humor and his giving heart. It really shows in his poetry.
