Isn't she gorgeous? I got this pic from Google images. All our avatars are there. I hope you don't mind, Charmaine.

There was a girl named Charmaine So sweet, not one to complain Her words did ignite Put flames in the night Her rhymes are pretty not plain Her use of each metaphor Will lead to visions galore Like honey and cream They sweeten each dream That’s why her rhymes we adore She writes with class and finesse Each line has her sweet caress She flirts with the moon And makes poets swoon Her heart is sweet, I confess So, Girl…here’s looking at you You bring us visions brand new Your words are sublime They have a sweet chime For you're are a poet so true Eileen Manassian I’m blessed to call Charmaine a friend. I adore her heart and her spirit. She doesn’t have a shadow of malice in her sweet character. Her poetry is of the finest…and yet she is so humble about it. This was inspired by her latest poem….I Think of You. It is just…..sublime. I truly can’t do it justice. Love you, Charmaine….I truly do!!

LO this is a beautiful tribute -- it demonstrates the wonderful love between two friends . . . to love and to be loved. I have imaged Charma in a dark room, her baby asleep typing away envisioning a moon lighted bench . . . love waves lapping the shore . . . both of you have passionate hearts and a committed love for others. Much love and light to both of you. 7

What a delightful tribute in Limerick form, Eileen! Charm is pure charm and she attracts by her lovely and humble character; her poetry is beautifully romantic. Well done for a charming write!

No question that Charmaine is great/ This with certainty I can state/ But you my dear Eileen/ A lovely lady have been/ All know, you have never been a fake!

Charma, a woman of smooth drama...her face glows seductive grace, her eyes make passion rise...lips, to good to be rude...her poetry she saunters sweet, be what makes a learned Lady complete..."She flirts with the moon and makes poets swoon..." a lovely tribute Eileen...J.A.B.

A beautiful description of Charmaine, as only you can do, Justin. Yes...she is all that. Thank you for your visit to my work. Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I go to church on Saturdays....It's my holy day. I spoke this morning....showed a power point presentation...The theme? Don't Judge. One of the slides had a quote that went like this: Don't judge me because I sin differently than you do. Ah....we are all sinners anonymous. That's my understanding, anyway. Getting ready to go to my brother's for lunch. Thank you for the visit. I hope you are well.

Thanks, Cas. Charmaine showed real love to me when the news of the war and the danger here became apparent to her. She offered me shelter should I have to escape. I'll never forget that. Thanksk for your visit, Sweetie. Hugs
