Carolyn Devonshire - An Inspiration

Many blogs
many poems in her tribute
comments like I am devastated, 
will miss her greatly,
was more than a loss for me, 
umpteen comments on her blogs and poems

Many are born and die. 
Nobody bothers. 
Many poets join Soup and leave
No one talks about them or ask about their well-being. 
But some are remembered till our last breath.

Among those who are heartbroken, how many met her? 
How many lived with her? Yet they miss her

Therein lies the greatness of her personality. 

It is easy to be ordinary, selfish human.
We should be extraordinaries like her. 
Leave our footprints behind in a positive way. 
We should be remembered for our good deeds.

Carolyn Devonshire is an inspiration to me.

Christuraj Alex August 14, 2021 at 12:07 PM In fact, I am not at all aware of her. All the same, reading your two poems, I find her a unique personality. Death is one thing. Death owing Cancer or such illnesses is another thing. Death is death all the same. (It is easy to be ordinary, selfish human. We should be extraordinaries like her.) It's true as you say. Great Write.
