Francine Roberts Poet Sonnet

Goodbye Linda Marie

Eloquent, ethereal,
an artist through and through.
Her words alit on gossamer wings
as through our hearts they flew.

Each poem was written from the heart
and soul of our Linda Marie.
A visual portrait painted with words
for us, her audience, to see.

We thank you for your friendship.
You will be missed Sweetheart.
We thank you for the words you left us
before your sad depart.

Your beautiful soul, full of grace,
is in a far, far better place.

Andrea Dietrich March 1, 2014 at 8:05 PM francine, I just saw an older poem of Linda Marie's on that winners list of Amy's medieval contest. It was so strange to see that. WAs that an old contest that just now got judged? or is someone managing Linda's account here? Wouldn't that be something if they were entering her poems in contests? I would love for my kids to do that for me when I passed away. Francine Roberts March 1, 2014 at 8:25 PM wow, no idea

Robert Pettit January 28, 2014 at 2:45 PM This is one of the better poetic tributes to our beloved and departed fellow soup member. Francine Roberts January 28, 2014 at 3:08 PM thank you

Eileen Manassian January 28, 2014 at 12:41 AM Hi Francine. This is a beautiful tribute. I came to the Soup too late to be able to get acquainted with the Sweetheart of the Soup, but she seems to have been a fascinating poet. Your sonnet brings the beauty of her soul out so well. Life is sad....There is a better day coming. Thanks for sharing.

Russell Sivey January 27, 2014 at 10:33 PM This is a very beautiful dedication to our very missed Sweetheart of Poetry Soup, Linda-Marie! I surely loved reading this incredible poem here this evening! What a gorgeous piece, we will always miss her! Great Work!!
