Flo J Thomas a Walking Angel Gone

For the rose without season is you Light between stars shine through your soul Ocean of kindness whispers your name Joy resides in those beautiful eyes Treasure trove,a friend to keep Humbleness and Honesty your virtues Open-hearted to all,expecting nothing in return Mother and Wife who lives life for her beloveds Admirable for verse,and much more for gentle deeds Special is the best word which sincierely describes you.
Dedicated to Flo.J Thomas- a friend who supported so many soupers here on ps ,by reading our poetry,and encouraged so many by giving free memberships ,She even sent so many surprise gifts across the ocean,one of which has even reached my own land,and made me so happy. Today Flo. is gone.Her account is closed,and Her beautiful words are now replaced by an empty page, on this site.This saddens me deeply. It saddens me anytime any souper gets hurt enough to leave.It hurts because poetry 's purpose is not to hurt people but to unite them.Us soupers here should be more careful how to use our words .Lets not let our tongues work faster than our hearts,nor our pretentious minds play the game better than our kindred souls.Someone have hurt Flo badly by stating mean remarks about Her,so I was told.I don't know who that someone is,because Flo was woman enough not to reveal names,but She was hurt,hurt enough to leave here, and close Her account.I can't watch more soupers leave due this nonesense.Pls lets all be more careful how to use our words.I am not pointing fingers at anyone in particular,I am saying this to myself as well.We all need to be more gentle and respectful .Situations like these are making friends considering leaving here for good, and each time one of us is gone, its a huge loss for our soup familyLet us all remember that once we utter a word we cannot take it back.It is ok for us to be different,have our distinct ideas, it is great to share them,but lets do everything with love. To our dear Flo I say -'Please do return to poetrysoup and open a new account.I am sure you are greatly missed by many,sweet lady with an uplifting spirit.Thanks for being You.Pls Come Back '.

Great tribute to Flo. Even thought I never knew her, the time she took to write on this site must have been tremendous. I too am sorry she is gone perhaps she will return. Great POTW. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Charmaine. Always does it sadden me when a voice leaves. I unfortunately do not know of your friend Flo however your message is clear and your words are heartfelt. Poetry should be positive and enjoyment and not any other. Congratulations on your entry being chosen POTW for your entry there stands. I hope somehow your friend can see and hear your words both in the entry itself but in your notes as well. Have a wonderful day Charmaine.

Hello Charma, A SEVEN/FAVE here on this wondrous write on behalf of Flo!! I fully agree. Some of the people on Poetry Soup who act unprofessional and who lack professional aforethought in their supposed reviews of other Soupers' poetry, need to check their Poison Venom Pens at the door. People who act disrespectful and unprofessional have no place in any responsible professional writing association. It's very sad to see gifted and talents writers like Flo leave. I hope she returns. Best!! Gary

If I could ever get Flo, Eileen, and Charmaine together, I would have to change my name to Charlie, so I could call them Charlies Angels! :) Hey a man can dream!!!

Hi Charma, You wrote a beautiful and touching acrostic for Flo. She is a kind person with a generous spirit. She will be missed. I wish I had gotten to know her better. She is one classy lady with a huge heart. Please read this and return don't let the haters win- Alexis

Flo I will always remember how you recently placed two roses on my nose. It meant the world to me, two visits to one of my limericks.You said it best. More than that you were gracious and classy on your visits in the wake of me spewing toxic lava on you regarding a past placement in a contest. I lay this on the line with you so it clears the air.I do apologize for those transgressions. Yet I recognize the high road you took to giving this issue closure, if I read signs well. All the best to you.

It is sad when anyone leaves because of ignorant people who have nothing better to do than to try to destroy what makes another person happy. I didn't know her but Victor is right, she let the trolls win. Now they can celebrate while you and others feel the loss. Very sad.

I know Flo disappeared. She gave me Soup membership, and my Hawaiian name Kalakeolelo. I gave her the name Ilhame, and I will always be in contact with her, just not on Soup. Thank you Charma, for writing this. I know she wanted to disappear in silence, but I love you for doing this.

what a beautiful tribute Charma I know both of us were touched by flo's generosity not just in material gifts but also in her friendship. I can't believe this has happened again - the bullies may have 'won' but the site and the poets she bestowed her gifts on make it a much poorer place for many:-( hugs Jan departure:-( hugs Jan
