Rico

Dear Rico your Lim’s were one of a kind
In them you definitely spoke your mind
      Your passing has me in tears 
     You brought us a-lot of cheers 
Meeting you here was a treasured find











* I haven’t been that active on the Soup. I just found out “ our” dear friend and poet Rico has passed. We never met in person, but I truly feel like I lost a friend. I’m heartbroken and in tears. This my tribute to him in the form he excelled in.

Lovely tribute to Rico Alexis, I loved his humour, and we lost Milton too just before Christmas. Tom

I thought my tears were done, apparently not, reading this. He was one of a kind, and the kindest one. Hugs you! xomo

So sad when one of our own leave these vales of tears. But I'm sure he is in a better place. Lovely limerick.
