It Is Not Funny, Sharon Weimar

Redbubble is a place where artists meet.
Talents may economically compete.
Moving on left folks behind.
What happiness did you find?
Are you joyful at your poetry retreat?

Long ago, you enjoyed Poetry Soup.
You said that you had to go regroup.
Well, now your poems are gone.
New winners must be drawn.
You are missed and thats the latest scoop!

Days and years have sped as fast as light.
Your works have been deleted from this site.
What, now, is on your mind?
Were friendships left behind?
Does inspiration still bring delight?

Sometimes, we have to take a detour
To green pastures and skies bright azure.
I write these thoughts today
Hoping bliss has come your way.
Trusting that your talents still endure.

Congratulations to you on your win in Cyndi 's "Missing Souper, We Love You" contest Dane Ann. I wish you many more wins in your writing career. You know I don't think she realized just how amazing her poetry is. You know she was truly a shy lady. Love, Carol

I have found her in some of the magazines that I contribute to and I am surprised that her works are gone. She is very talented. Congratulations on a fine tribute. Love, Joyce

And it's sad her verse is deleted because she won't see how much we miss her. Often I'd comment on one of her old verses just so she would stop by and she did! I miss her to Danie! Light & Love
