Connie Marcum-Wong

Come, autumn breeze, in September
Sweep through our hearts so elegant
Like Connie, our sweet celebrant,

With sadness we will remember
Her warm and gentle touches still
Whispers of happiness until

She left us, a glowing ember
Burning so brightly in our hearts
Poems with rare beauty imparts.

Stirring souls like burning cinder
Becomes a muse to light our way
On this another autumn day.

On the Soup no finer member
Always there with a compliment
Kind words of praise she always lent.

Come, autumn breeze, in September
With sadness, we will remember
She left us, a glowing ember
Stirring souls like burning cinder
On the Soup no finer member.

Tom Cunningham Date: 9/23/2022 12:43:00 PM I was scratching my head thinking I thought I'd made a comment and saw what had happened,another lovely tribute Milton in the form she created. Tom Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 9/23/2022 1:24:00 PM Tom, I wrote a tribute from my heart, then realized I had not written it in Connie's constanza form, so I posted both of them. Sometimes I'm just not right! (chuckling)
