Carolyn Devonshire

Carolyn Devonshire
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Carolyn:  Commendable poet who composes cheerful charming comments.
Articulate, admirable, agreeable, author awards an absolute awakening.
Romanticism redeemed by her reasonable reverberating reflections, regally. 
Owns the odysseys’ omniscient opulence and oversees the outcome’s orderliness.    
Luxurious lady lavishes luscious luster limiting links to her own laurels' limelight.
Yearning yonder yarns?  Yes?  Yearly yardsticks yield youthful yeas.
Numerous novice nymphs now notice the noble novel with nepotism.  

Distinguished delicate, dedication delivers a diamond’s dazzling dawn.
Embarks extraordinary elevating endeavors with effervescent exuberance. 
Valiantly, vibrantly victorious visionary’s vigor: valuable, venerated.
Outstanding observer owns originality and overcomes obstacles. 
Narcotic narrations naturally nurture notable niceties, necessarily. 
Splendid, stupendous superlatives skillfully sing spirited stirrings superbly.
Helpful heroine happily hopes for heaven’s historical harmony.  Hearts hug.
Idolized intellectual invites inborn imagination; Identity immortalized.
Radiant, regal, remarkable romantic resurrects rich reason.  Realizations remain.
Elegance etched in ecstatic euphoria enjoys everlastingly, you.



Dedicated to Carolyn Devonshire, a great poet, writer, and friend to Soupers.

Wait did I read that right? 'Narcotic Narrations', does Carolyn have a poem from the point of view of a drug addict? That would be interesting to read:) Great tribute Dane, couldn't have picked a better person to give thanks to. I believe she's been dubbed 'Poetry Soup Mother'.
