Fall - Sweet Lass

A Constanza (in Connie's own precious poetry form) written in tribute to this amazing friend and poet: A lass so beautiful is she, and like a dear friend I recall, she brightens our world, for she’s Fall! Like golden leaves on friendship’s tree - when spring, then summer, we see pass - for a short while stays this sweet lass. . So very beautiful to me, she’s wistfulness and so much more - an old friend that I’m longing for. Her moments oh so quickly flee. Then death arrives as Winter’s frost. yet memories are never lost. Within her grace again I’ll be, for Fall may pass, but even then, sweet lass – my friend – I’ll see again. A lass so beautiful is she - like golden leaves on friendship’s tree - so very beautiful to me. Her moments oh so quickly flee. Within her grace again I’ll be. Sept. 23, 2022 For "In Remembrance Of Connie -Autumn Theme Poetry Contest" Sponsor: Suzanne Delaney

Heya Andrea I’m delighted to see your Connie tribute as No1 in the best new poems list, an unassuming personal reflection of her life, the friendship is tangible and from the heart, as indeed it was in many of the tribute poems I read about her, nobody ever wants to write these poems, they would rather her still here, but that’s what poets do, cheers David

HOW ELEGANT, HOW WISTFUL, HOW BEAUTIFUL AND HOW APT IS THIS AWESOME TRIBUTE TO DARLING CONNIE, HER ABSENCE ON POETRY SOUP IS SAD, BUT I KNOW FROM WHERE SHE IS WITHIN THE CLOUDS AND ANGELS OF HEAVEN, SHE READS AND WATCHES, SEES AND HEARS AND THIS ONE WILL GO INTO HER FAVES. WELL DONE ANDREA. HUGS AND BLESSINGS JENNIFER - SORRY ABOUT CAPS I JUST TYPE AND HAVE ONLY A FEW WORDS AGO NOTICED.

A beautiful tribute. She will certainly be missed. Just in reviewing some of my old poems I see how quick she was to drop a sweet comment for any poetry posted.

“For she’s Fall” Such a beautiful line, Andrea. I am glad to see it also made POTD. I cried through most of the poems. I have had an awful flu for two weeks. It wasn’t Covid though. Love you. SuZ

Love your beautiful personification of Fall and your touching parallels with Connie... "for a short while stays this sweet lass"... too short, I say. "Then death arrives as Winter’s frost", another great line, and your quintain finale really sparkles. Happy to see this as POTD, thanks for keeping the flame of Connie's memory burning ~ John
