Ode To Joyce J

Ode to Joyce J. Would that I could write to her a magical verse that she would enjoy for just an inkling of the spell cast in the joy wherein I myself immerse, when I drink in the drafts from her literary well. Her poems ripple like flowers in the breeze, cascading lovely and wild as you please, avalanching down the hills around the trees of life’s pain, reality and turbulent seas. From As time goes on and the Twilight, The Garden rose and Blackberry wild, The folds of your Mama’s Apron And your Vows to the lovely Christ child. For these and so much more of your lovely self you’ve shared with us , Thank you Joyce and God bless you forever. Robert A. Dufresne
