My Tribute To Our Becca Teagan

I'm so happy I checked-out a recent e-mail from the Soup
By doing so, I was privileged to read some of Becca Teagan's 
work, I know I may have gone over the top with my
little tribute, but I write what comes to me. 
I never say this lightly ------"She's a MUST read" 





You're far above that upper class
Unique among themselves
Most I view as Top Drawer Poets
But you my friend, Top Shelf

You're the bell of the ball
The cream of the crop
The tip of the tip
of the tipious top

The shine on the shoe
The stick in the tie
The ultimate answer
To that old question "Why?"

You're the crown on the Queen
The jewel of the Nile
You're Aces to me
Cause you write with such style

Don't shy when I say
You're the best of the best
I've strained all the soup
And I've read all the rest

You write like an Angel
With paper and pen
You know what to do
So, just do it again

Jerry... I dont know what to say. I'm honored by this more than I can express. I'm in tears here... You are so sweet to write this for me but there are so many poets who are much more worthy of praise. I'm touched really. Thank you, sir. You really have no idea how much I needed this today. Sorry it took me so long to find it ...havent been reading much lately. Thank you again, and big hugs x
