Andrea Dietrich Poet Rispetto

Lucilla Smiled

Although her smile I could not see,
Lucilla smiled through poetry.
This lovely lady I met here
who graced us with her sunny ways
until her very final days
became for me somebody dear.
Although her smile I could not see,
Lucilla smiled through poetry.

Her words of wisdom now can flow
in heaven, where all angels go.
This lovely lady I met here
became for me somebody dear.
Although her smile I could not see,
Lucilla smiled through poetry!

RIP Lucilla Carrillo - Written in her memory Oct 2014
For the Sonnetina Rispetto Contest of Dr. Ram Mehta

Abdul Malik Mandani November 8, 2014 at 2:03 PM How true! Don't we all smile, cry, fear, hate... through our poetry? And, we don't even have to see any one! Love this.

Daver Austin October 21, 2014 at 4:18 PM Hi, Andrea. I'm published now in Haiku Journal #31and in reading the other submissions, all American haiku, I'm not sure what true haiku is. No matter. I've read the publications and most are not too clear on form. Face it, dear, my poetry is out in left field anyway. Love, daver

Daver Austin October 21, 2014 at 4:02 PM Beautiful memorial, Andrea. Love, daver
