A certain poet said she was thrilled, sitting down 
Viewing world of us, mounting PS's platform

yes, she was ecstatic, maneuvering keys
On borrowed time and gadget, she wouldn't leave

A day of family gathering, she stole moments alone
Twiddled with words that led her on and on

Thoughts and smiles were shared, on sheets of white
I was in awe, poetry soup to her was such delight

Coy lioness with Jamaican warmth in her eyes
Her poems found spot in anthologies, undisguised

I Hope she's cooking up her best, sans stress
She would laced exotic smells to Soup fixings, no less

Poets arrive then disappear; but some we worry about
Some refresh our taste buds; so what do we do when they're out?

Poets arrive then disappear; but some we worry about Some refresh our taste buds; so what do we do when they're out? We write...I have met such lovely people on poetry sites. I think we must be dreamers dreaming of the good life, things we never had when we were young. I like the way you write. Not too fancy for my tastes. And real. I like real poetry. I talk too much. lol

Beautifully penned. I just stopped by to say, if ah so, so it is; but know, we poets come together and say: Ah so it is to go; but better must come. Peace and Love, Millard Lowe.
