AKA 'Connie Mack'
Cornelius McGillicuddy Mack
You can’t make up a name like that
At baseball he took a loud whack

My Childhood Friend
MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND
(by Michelle L. LeBlanc 03/16/2025)
Dedicated to Connie Steeves
Our friendship goes way back
I believe we were in grade 3?
In our brown and beige uniforms
At Lower Coverdale Christian Academy
At first, I hung out with your sister
But little did I ever know
That we would become much closer
And our friendship would surely grow

Connie Was a Cheerleader
Connie was a cheerleader
bright white toothed smile
bouncing boobs
short skirt legs running long
through school boy fantasies
friday nights her stage
crisp November air her makeup
Robert was a loner
a stoner
bad clear down to the core
shriveled up inside
Salvation Army furniture
Batman comics
bologna sandwich supper
Connie was manicured lawns
gardens of flowers
white picket fences and stone pathways
Norman Rockwell dinners
lavender bath soap
silk pajamas
pink bed spread
Robert

Stars In the Sky Fellow Poets Milton Connie Harry
In a foreign sky, I gaze above
And spot those stars I named with love
After fellow poets who I dearly miss
Their memory still brings me bliss
There's Milton, shining bright and strong
As if he's still here, where he belongs
He was always the leader of our pack
Skills and strengths I still admire and lack
Close to him is Connie,

Tribute To Connie Marcum Wong
I dream of the Ganges, and her gentle cleansing flow…and the Island Spirit with palm trees swaying, egrets on salty air, hula hips at moonrise and exotic mai tais. Motherhood, caves and caverns, enchanted forests. I latch onto her adventurous flora of fantasy and sentimentality. Riveting reverberations of a souper poet, Connie Marcum Wong, a

Connie, your poetry wings are now among the lost our friend, Winged Warrier,
I place this heart to you my friend who always saw above us.
Your comments of cheer are now lost yet your past still lives on,
Blessed with words onto our words will never end.
How can these be two now be gone unto heaven?
A heart

Dear Connie,
The beauty spilling from your pen
and all your passions placed therein,
evoked emotions deep within,
and if our souls ne’er meet again,
I’m blessed to say, I knew you when.
Sincerely,
Mark

Connie
I cannot believe Connie is gone.
She seemed so young, vibrant and strong.
One of the first to encourage on Poetrysoup.
Full of praise, encouragement and cheer.
Although half way around the world from here.
R.I.P. Connie dear.

Connie Marcum Wong! Super strong!
We held like minded personality and interacted beyond poetry-soup arena.
I relished and honoured her every comment touching core of heart.
An emotional bond had tied us though without any scope to meet.

Autumn Constanza For Connie
Bold poet, Connie Marcum Wong
is spent. Feel gentle winds and smile
as summer’s heat breaks for a while.
Her time has come, sounds heaven’s gong.
It’s fall, and though our spirit grieves
her vibrant poems soar like leaves.
True
