Is Connie Gone

Connie said my poems inspired her.
I was struck silent because
I knew I was under the influence
of a superior poet, a poet of unique compassion.
I'll be missing her, thinking of her from now on.

With you all the way Greg. Although I never met her I felt I knew her. Such a loss to Poetry and to life itself. Her poems will live on. Cheers - Gary
