Tribute To a Friend

A mystical woman that sought my style,
Historical poet of times gone by,
Dreaming all the while,

Different styles for our paths to socialize.
Compassionately known too many.
I do realize.

Cherished friend of my words I write.
Supportive to so many others and me,
Her style not trite,

Never to meet this soul in reality,
Only to know her through words,
All her ability,

Perhaps one day our force will intersect.
I look forward to our time.
With intellect,

Love of our friendship shows in words.
Friendly notions capture our hearts.
Poetic passionate swords,

If time allows no capture of any moment.
We shall know each other later.
In natures movement,

Her name is Carolyn Devonshire
Full of rhythm and flow,
Poet to admire,

Tribute to Carolyn Devonshire a dear friend

Dearest Cecil, your friendship means so much to me and I am honored by your tribute. I will print it and store it with your book, "Sensations of Life Poetry." It was such a pleasure to read! I do hope one day we have a chance to meet. It would be wonderful to sit down and talk to you about many things, including poetry. Bless you! Love, Carolyn
