Poetess Becca Teagan

I thought of you today and shed a tear
remembering the poems that we shared
and though at times we fought 'twas always clear
that in the end the two of us still cared

the Soup at times can be a fickle beast
not always sure who is a friend or clown
and though attacks and insults rarely ceased
we had each other's back when one felt down

the ache inside is deeper than you know
your absence like a tree without a nest
so many years and then you had to go
to some of us you simply were the best

here's hoping there's a grandiose return
for in our hearts your poetry still burns


She is... poetry (a reference to her classic poem, I Am Poetry)

She was a beautiful poet with amazing poetry, when a good poet leaves we feel it. We better take care of each other while we are here, these days not everyone looks out for others, that is the state of the world today. Praying we all realize how important it is to connect and be kind to one another. Fav

It's so nice of you to write this. She's a lovely poetess and friend. Do you know where she went?? it would be great if she saw this.

Lovely tribute Tom, I'm sure she's enjoying her break from all the drama on the soup.

You have wonderfully demonstrated generosity and compassion once again, Tommy. That seems lovely—a fitting homage to a poet I've never heard of.

A great ode to a poet & friend you fondly remember. I have a few favs I lost over the years. Sometimes they come back, so hope you're reunited.

You show us once again, you graciously demonstrate kindness and magnanimity. A fine tribute, a poet unknown to me, sounds nice.

Becca is such a dear friend. She is missed and so is her lovely poetry. The world needs more people like you, Tommy. Always thinking of others. This is a beautiful, yet tender tribute. I hope she returns soon. Hugs, Brandy

Hi Tom, I did not know Rebecca Teagan. Your tribute shows that she must have been a great poet. A departed friend I'll never forget is Connie Marcum Wong. I suggest a link to departed poems on the Soup. No response.

Delightful tribute to a PS bestie. Looking forward to new work soon…..

Indeed a heartfelt tribute… “Strange how people who suffer together have stronger connections than those who are most content…” (Bob Dylan) Hope she returns soon!! Excellent writing, Tom.

what a touching tribute! sounds like a special kind of poet.
Date: 9/6/2025 3:26:00 PM

And so say all of us! She pops up every once in a while then vanishes like a thief in the night. She just got fed up with all the drama and idiocy on the Soup from the usual suspects. I miss her too. Where are you, Becs?

Your "Rebecca Teagan" is a lovely write/tribute. I did Not know her. Many are missed here with their wonderful writes. In heaven we can have a Soup meeting... Have a lovely day/weekend writing away.................
