When a Poetess Passes

When a poetess passes
we sisters lose our flow
For it's hard to comprehend
why excellence must go.
Friends they are real special
happiness they bring
though a poetess who shares
can also be our wing
to soar along from the wrong
to comfort us alike
she mirrors in the best of us
and also is our light.
May be a little scary 
to continue our own song
for when a poetess passes
all poetry is wrong.
Though for a bit 'til we commit 
to what we all adore and
we'll sparkle even brighter
from poetess before.
