Notes About The Poem

Whitney Houston

She was a songbird like no other
     Her light, her fire, drugs did smother

    The impact addiction had on her, tragic
But whenever I hear her on the radio, magic

She indeed was and remains a magical enterprise. So sad was her loss to all of us.

Much shared nostalgia caught in a few words, Edward. Well done.
