Maria Williams Poet Senryu

Demetrios - Let the Flame Burn Brighter

A tribute to our Dearest friend Demetrios Trifiatis who is an encouragement on this site, bringing the flame of inspiration to all through his philosophical, uplifting poems and his beautiful floral tributes.

Thank you so much Demetrios. 

Oh warm glow of LOVE
They try to snuff out your wick
You ignite BRIGHTER
