Notes About The Poem

Tribute To Connie Marcum Wong

I dream of the Ganges, and her gentle cleansing flow…and the Island Spirit with palm trees swaying, egrets on salty air, hula hips at moonrise and exotic mai tais. Motherhood, caves and caverns, enchanted forests. I latch onto her adventurous flora of fantasy and sentimentality. Riveting reverberations of a souper poet, Connie Marcum Wong, a kindred spirit.

Beautifully written, dear Valsa. I have never been to India. Too far for me although I once went to Brazil.

Somewhere I read that Connie was fond of India and its cultural diversity and its flora and fauna. I wonder if she had at any time been to India . The reference to Ganges shows her intimacy with India. Beautifully written Kim.
