What Can I Say

I wish I could be like Linda-Marie, Whose words are always filled with generosity. To say that she is a poet of repute, Is something none of us can ever refute. Her works are sometimes harshly gentle, And all could well adorn our mantle. Her personal writings are so deep indeed, I often wonder what might have planted that seed. She gives credit to those when credit is due, When she comments on a poem or two. I know that she takes us wherever she goes, Even to the beach, where the sand warms her toes. For so many of us know how this is true, I am not the only one who will extol her virtue, So, when it comes right down to the call, She has been there for us, each one and all. There are so many poets here who are worthy of note, She's told each one, in the words that she wrote. I didn't know just what I could say, About a person who is always writing away. But, I thought I needed to get a few lines in, So that I would not feel chagrined. The one thing that I have to say on my part, Yes, Linda, YOU are the Poetry Sweetheart!
