Notes About The Poem

Susan, dear friend, we eagerly await your next post...

In Praise of Susan Ashley

S   he weaves her magic with every write
U   nforgettable verse, enchanting delights
S   onnets, collaborations, free verse, rhymes
A   stonishingly fresh imagery, pearls sublime
N   uanced romanticism, so delicate, so fine...

A   iming her Cupid's arrow straight at our hearts
S   teamy, sultry, sensual masterpieces of art
L   ove affairs exquisitely conceived and created
E   ach phrase, impeccably crafted, has lured and fascinated
Y   ou and me -- as we thrill to her wizardry, captivated

Dearest Gershon, I am truly and deeply touched by the honor of your poem and moved beyond words by the generous gesture of your expressive gift. Mere words can never convey the extent of my appreciation for your wondrous kindness. My heart revels and my soul soars on the elating and creative wings of your endearing poetry. The Soup is a warmer, more radiant and more satisfying place (for me and I know for many more here too) thanks to you, Gershon. You have given me a beautiful bouquet of joy, thank you from the uplifted depths of my heart, dear poet and my inspiring friend. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan (Soup mail)
