Karen O'Leary
January Fourth, she said good-bye
She took her poems and went to fly
To other places, a new somewhere.
This site’s better that she was here.
We’ll miss her sweetness, her haiku.
She tried to show us that we, too
Could write in this delightful form.
She left comments, sincere and warm.
Fascinated by her measured word,
Hers was the first voice that I heard
When I first chanced upon this site.
I loved her poems, short and light.
I’m glad I bought her “Whispers” book,
Though missing her, I can still look
Into its many treasured pages
And find the wisdom of the sages.
