No Other

My claim to fame is in your name No other name will do For if they all applaud me yet I crave applause from you No other praise will meet my gaze No others words will do For what they write althought alright Was not written by you No other face can dare erase Your image in my mind For though they all are very dear You are one of a kind No other line is as sublime As this that you write down For though their rhymes are really fine Yours are a jeweled crown No other touch can mean as much As that from poet hand For though the other words caress It's yours that can command No other speaks life to my heart No other soothes the ache For though their rhymes bring sweet relief I stay for your dear sake. Eileen Manassian July 16, 2025 We all have poets that are special to us, poets that inspire the best in us, poets that keep us in this community. This is a tribute poem to such poets.

This is so true, we all have our faves. I won't name all of mine but there are definitely those that touch us in a special way. I'll just mention one - I love Charmaine's poetry. I wish she would come back

I know. She was a favourite of many here. She's a wonderful woman with a heart of gold and her poetry is soul food. Good choice. I'm sure she has good reasons for staying away like we all do when we're away. I hope she comes back two.
