Suzanne Delaney Poet Pantoum

In Memory of Anne Frank

We remember her in blue skies.
She searched her young heart for answers.
She focused on beauty and hope,
with wisdom for all the world.
She searched her young heart for answers.
Her courage shone through her words
with wisdom for all the world,
and a spirit beyond her age.
Her courage shone through her words.
She focused on beauty and hope,
and a spirit beyond her age.
We remember her in blue skies.

Suzanne Delaney

A Pantoum

My first Pantoum.  I was so surprised.  It practically wrote itself.

Abdulhafeez Oyewole May 31, 2013 at 10:56 AM I have read about this young lady (Anne Frank) who made it to world history through her diary. Thus, I can relate with your pen. Very well written. Congrats on your well deserved win Suz. AO

Michael Ainsley May 21, 2013 at 1:26 PM Lovely words Suzanne and as long as people like you remember she will live in all our hearts. All the little girls and boys from all the wars should live in our hearts. Then one day they will call for a war and no one will come.

Kathryn Collins May 15, 2013 at 7:34 AM Suz - I am so out to lunch on forms. This doesn't need to adhere to anything - on its own, it captures innocence, inspiration and bravery. A true beauty in all senses. love, Kathy
