In Poetry Soup She Lives

IN POETRY SOUP SHE LIVES          



Death brings down a banana tree
And goes about with joy in his heart ;
Rejoice not feller of tree
The one you cut has sprouted again :


She sits by the river side
There she quenches our thirst
With purity that flows from her soul
Her eternal spring sweet to behold.


A sparrow atop the roof 
Singing sonorously with golden voice;
Guess not too much who she is
It is Marie that has come to play.


A chameleon in the garden
Painting roses , painting lavender ;
No , not just a chameleon
But Marie doing her art in style.


If you saw a spinner by the wall
Weaving words like never before;
Remember her vow and know who she is :
I live on in my words like a spider in its web.


So smile Marie’s friends
Smile in her victory upon wicked death;
When you wish to see your own
In poetrysoup she lives.
