* A tribute to an awesome poet. Many of us still miss her and her awesome poetry.

I thought of you today and shed a tear
remembering the poems that we shared
and though at times we fought 'twas always clear
that in the end the two of us still cared

the Soup at times can be a fickle beast
not always sure who is a friend or clown
and though attacks and insults rarely ceased
we had each other's back when one felt down

the ache inside is deeper than you know
your absence like a tree without a nest
so many years and then you had to go
to some of us you simply were the best

here's hoping there's a grandiose return
for in our hearts your poetry still burns


She is... poetry (a reference to her classic poem, I Am Poetry)

A great ode to a poet & friend you fondly remember. I have a few favs I lost over the years. Sometimes they come back, so hope you're reunited.

You show us once again graciously demonstrate kindness and magnanimity. A fine tribute, a poet unknown to me, sounds nice.

Some write poems to upbuild, others to tear down. It's a choice. Thx much

Becca is such a dear friend. She is missed and so is her lovely poetry. The world needs more people like you, Tommy. Always thinking of others. This is a beautiful, yet tender tribute. I hope she returns soon. Hugs, Brandy

Hi Tom, I did not know Rebecca Teagan. Your tribute shows that she must have been a great poet. A departed friend I'll never forget is Connie Marcum Wong. I suggest a link to departed poems on the Soup. No response.

Indeed a heartfelt tribute… “Strange how people who suffer together have stronger connections than those who are most content…” (Bob Dylan) Hope she returns soon!! Excellent writing, Tom.

She was/is

And so say all of us! She pops up every once in a while then vanishes like a thief in the night. She just got fed up with all the drama and idiocy on the Soup from the usual suspects. I miss her too. Where are you, Becs?
