Eileen Manassian Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

 

Isn't she gorgeous? I got this pic from Google images. All our avatars are there. I hope you don't mind, Charmaine.

To Charmaine

There was a girl named Charmaine
So sweet, not one to complain
Her words did ignite
Put flames in the night
Her rhymes are pretty not plain

Her use of each metaphor
Will lead to visions galore
Like honey and cream
They sweeten each dream
That’s why her rhymes we adore

She writes with class and finesse
Each line has her sweet caress
She flirts with the moon
And makes poets swoon
Her heart is sweet, I confess

So, Girl…here’s looking at you
You bring us visions brand new 
Your words are sublime
They have a sweet chime
For you're are a poet so true

Eileen Manassian

I’m blessed to call Charmaine a friend. I adore her heart and her spirit. She doesn’t have a shadow of malice in her sweet character. Her poetry is of the finest…and yet she is so humble about it. This was inspired by her latest poem….I Think of You. It is just…..sublime. I truly can’t do it justice. Love you, Charmaine….I truly do!!

Kp Nunez February 23, 2015 at 10:48 AM Oh but I missed this! You rock, both of you, Eileen and Charmaine. 7. Hugs and smiles, Kim :D

David Meade February 22, 2015 at 8:43 PM LO this is a beautiful tribute -- it demonstrates the wonderful love between two friends . . . to love and to be loved. I have imaged Charma in a dark room, her baby asleep typing away envisioning a moon lighted bench . . . love waves lapping the shore . . . both of you have passionate hearts and a committed love for others. Much love and light to both of you. 7

Demetrios Trifiatis February 21, 2015 at 7:28 AM No question that Charmaine is great/ This with certainty I can state/ But you my dear Eileen/ A lovely lady have been/ All know, you have never been a fake!

Justin Bordner February 21, 2015 at 3:45 AM Charma, a woman of smooth drama...her face glows seductive grace, her eyes make passion rise...lips, to good to be rude...her poetry she saunters sweet, be what makes a learned Lady complete..."She flirts with the moon and makes poets swoon..." a lovely tribute Eileen...J.A.B. Eileen Manassian February 21, 2015 at 5:15 AM A beautiful description of Charmaine, as only you can do, Justin. Yes...she is all that. Thank you for your visit to my work. Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I go to church on Saturdays....It's my holy day. I spoke this morning....showed a power point presentation...The theme? Don't Judge. One of the slides had a quote that went like this: Don't judge me because I sin differently than you do. Ah....we are all sinners anonymous. That's my understanding, anyway. Getting ready to go to my brother's for lunch. Thank you for the visit. I hope you are well.
