Notes About The Poem

Poets I Admire

( Thinking of poets whom I like to commend, so many faces come crowding to my mind. But as I am restricted to choose only three, I would list them as my preferences agree. )

Constance La France- a poet of fire in her heart One of the best on Soup, mesmerizes me with her art Though all her dear ones were taken away from life Through her poems, she births life, despite her strife Vijay Pandit - a gentleman of no pretense Is blessed with poetic talents immense As a newbie, he has been one of the first to encourage me Through steady support, still gives me much glee Lasaad- aka Sotto Poet, composer of esoteric verse Writes in lofty diction on topics diverse Only a few, to his poetic style, can equate Possesses a rare command of vocabulary so ornate!

Love that last rhyme, Valsa: 'Equate with Ornate!' A fine tribute to three most deserving poets! Cheers, Gershon
