A Fellow Sonneteer - the Linton Lassie

Here’s to Margaret - the Linton lassie. She hails from the lovely land down under. She’s a sweetie, and I bet she’s classy, since she pens her poems like a wonder. I met awesome poets when I came here, but none like Marge, for she is much like me. She’s both a poetess and sonneteer who writes in forms of classic poetry. One day dear Margaret just disappeared. I sent her notes, but she did not reply. And then some time ago she reappeared just to leave again! I’m not sure why. Marge says she’s coming back, so I’ll not fret. More sonneteers I‘ve happily since met! For Cyndi MacMillan's "Missing Soupers - We Love You"

A nice little tribute sonnet to Margaret Foster. I spent some time just now at her page and saw she posted 2 poems in 2012 and 9 in 2014, then none since. It's always hard to see someone go away and never know why.

Nicely written sonnet describing Margaret. I don't know her that well yet, but from what I've seen her write, she is good.

Well here is to Margaret who's left you with regret. May she join us for soup once again. If and when she returns, I hope that she learns. She don't need a spoon, just a pen.

I remember "Maggie" Foster very well, Andrea and miss her and her beautiful writing. I hope she does come back to Soup. So many have left over the years. Best of luck in the contest with this wonderful tribute to Maggie. Love, Annalise

Great poem for a friend of the Soupers! I don't know of her as she must've been around before I came, or before I became more active! She sounds like a wonderful woman who can write some really good poetry! I know that because you said she did and I know you have a good eye for talent! Excellent Work Andrea!!
