Topic: Birthday of Nicolette Jose (October 27)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
Pretty and sweet Nicolette.
Your voice was one I could not forget.
There were unforgettable songs you sang in your day.
It is so unfortunate that you have gone away.
Neil wrote a piece that was just right for you.
Learning of your fate made me feel blue.
From the spotlights on earth, you bid adieu.
You must be in heaven above,
singing your one great hit, “Lotta Love”.
Dedicated to the late Nicolette Larson
