Her ink has dried, her stories spun
On distant shores, her songs are sung

This is excellent as you captured so much in just two lines. I didn't know Carolyn but If she is aware of your tribute in the spirit realm she would have to be smiling. A truly beautiful tribute James and a well deserved win! Cheers Anne :-)

Wow, I see why this was a 1st place winner. I didn't know Carolyn but I know she was a highly respected "Souper". I have read her work and your work is a beautiful tribute to such an accomplished lady. Blessings, Paulette

Thanks Constance, I need to re-read Carolyn's book about Atlantis, it's amazing! I told her she needed a sequel, but she never got around to it, your 'Doublethink Beliefs' is a Poetry soup Classic All Time! Wow!!!
