A Sonnet For Becca
Where once a gentle poet penned her heart,
we look upon a sad and empty page,
there - common thoughts became embellished art
and hungry thirst for passion was assuaged.
So oft our search for peace takes crazy turns
to where we find a tempest as we lay,
and not the kindred meadow that we yearn,
instead, a love that hate and

Colours Collaboration With Becca Teagan
My pen strives to flow,
saturate virgin fibers
crisp, cool and clean,
desires to spread
through virtuous threads
with thoughts, reflections,
colors from within -
yet at any given time
I’m tempted to resign;
my thoughts are faded,
my ink runs dry.
When your mind is weary
and words silently suppressed
like an empty fountain
your muse drains with scarcity -

I'Ll Pull Up a Chair: After 'Please Pull Up a Chair' By Becca Teagan
What, pull up a chair now, and sit down with you?
That’s a lovely idea, I like it, I do!
I’m due for a break and the boss, he won’t care.
Yes! Hold on a moment, I’ll pull up a chair!
Now as for that salad, well . . . I’d rather not
I’m not much on rainchokes and wassava’s

Bye Bye Becca
Bye Bye Becca
Rang through my ears in hell
I had to do the dishes now
But couldnt do them well.
The mopping and house cleaning
Looked me in the eye
Becca lift that pen and write
But all i did was cry.
Who will drive the children home
And polish off the car
I used to write, I used to dream
But now im just

Oh, Becca, Becca
Dear Becca, I am sending you,
this letter in verse from my soul,
giving you a piece of my heart.
Why wrap your poems up,
all the lovely fragments,
all the layers of beauty penned,
that soothed the heartbroken?
Are the winds blowing you

Bye -Bye Becca Good-Bye
Bye -Bye Becca good- bye, but why, it’s not clear?
How can we dance if you leave my sweet dear?
You’re a big girl; your life, your choice, your year
Come with me and enjoy the dance and cheer
How can we dance if you leave my sweet dear?
Time to let loose, take your first batch of beer
Come with

Becca, Dear Becca
Becca, Dear Becca,
say it ain't so!
I hear that you're leaving and
from Soup you'll go.
You have many friends here,
who think you are a gem.
Don't listen to the haters.
You're so much better than them.
In fact, you should stay,
as they are probably just jealous,
of your sweetness and talent -
for poetry not pettiness they should be zealous.
Becca, dear Becca,
say

Bye Bye Becca
Becca was my best friend
She was tall and pretty but no one ever noticed
Her golden hair fell to her waist
And her eyes as blue as the ocean
She was kind and honest
Not that any one cared or believed
At night when it was dark we would escape to the park and play

To Becca
Not only doctors can heal
A writer too can bless a soul with motivation
Our readers are the souls sent to us to heal
No matter how small or voluminous your words
It could be someone's turning point
We are humans too
sometimes we want to drop the pen
and lie down on the beach, smelling the ocean
we want make more time

Begging Becca , We Need Help
She's the princess of the sonnets, the counter of your feet.
and if Shakespeare lived today he would need to keep it neat.
Them syllables best add up, and they better be well stressed.
But the best thing about Becca she will always help.
No na from our Becca because you forgot the date .
It's just genuine

Becca, Don'T Leave
We have been through a lot of adventure as a family
in Poetry Soup - contests, blogs and discussions.
You've made Poetry Soup peaceful and awesome
with your charm and charisma.
Most people have stayed in Poetry Soup
because of you.....that's why I don't want you to leave
yet, Becca. If you do, a major spirit of hope will
vanish with you....

Please Don'T Say Bye Bye Becca
Becca Teagan I’ve heard that you’re leaving
My stomach is now churning and heaving
Salty tears start to flow
I don’t want you to go
You are loved here and now I am grieving
Dear Becca you are part of this group
Just take a break from poetry soup
So please take a rest
Then come back refreshed
And the souper’s will be cock
