Kitschy Broken Ugliness - Remembering Nette Onclaud

Repost: Dedicated to Nette Onclaud, a great poet who alas stopped posting on Poetry Soup on 4 November 2020. A dear friend whom I truly miss. She really did it, bought a kitschy, a repulsive ornate vase, Thank God, the cat broke it.

Some poets come, conquer and leave abruptly ! A lovely tribute to a fellow poetess.

Too new to have known the poet, but a cute tribute Victor. Btw when I looked it up I noticed a poetess from Malta C.C. did you know her?:)

Charmaine Chircop is by far the best poet in Malta. So is Paul Callus.

Victor. I have often thought of her and I am actually afraid she may have died or something. I even emailed her and got no answers. I remember she was having a terrible time with asthma or something . I sure hope she is alive.

I didn't know her, I joined the soup about that time. Your poem makes me want to go over and read her works.
