Watching over us all
Flying across the ocean

Cars line the highways
with their broken life inhabitants,
coffined tributes to a last wish that got away,
android druids in mock procession
—racing toward the end

Tribute To A Tributer

I Am Anaya likes good food and fine rhyme
Dining with Poetry Soup all the time
She posts tributes so terse
but they could be verse
With a love of poetry so true and sublime

call on the lords that are destroyed
by lies, lies of Gods that sacrifice
by killing, by melting away and by 
burning at the stake
these are what happens
when wrongness is seen 
the oceans of lost tributes
waves around the tides pull...

Pure, clear with direction

the stream flows on down it 
goes 

tributes comes come in 

big it becomes 

dirty and un pure

it’s innocence lost 

its direction distorted 

furiously pounding anything 
along the way

all it’s goodness gone 

Am I it ??...

The Vintage Queen
Writer tributes to The Queen Marlene Willough
A soft and firm pillow
An actress who kept us entertained for years
One of us and one in a million
A precious ruby whose price is in trillion
A star who ruled the stage
ARK salutes you Miss Vintage....

In 'Joy Breeds Hope,' Connie wrote ...

"We have been blest with this beautiful Earth.
Let kindness prevail in me and you.
Harmony dwells with new hope in God's love."

Connie now knows the breadth of God's love.

You’re gone to the abode of heavenly bliss

Silently transcending the limit of mortal pain

It’s you we all at PoetrySoup so sadly miss

Pray, you rest in peace eternally, Carolyn.

I persist in singing my unknown beguiling ballads
As the verdurous pasture slowly glides
Over the vernal bowers of wilderness! 
 
Yearnings, sorrows and joyfulness
Prompt me to offer floral tributes
To this celebrated earth wherein 
For a while I roam to glimpse its grandeur—
Its legacy and alliance with mankind!...

Connie was my friend, and I miss her smile.
Like a poem written in her own style,
she coached me to go that extra mile
and took the time to chat once in a while,
one of God's angels; she fit the profile.

Like you and I, she was acquainted
With loss and like "God Special Ones',
She lived to share her love with us.
On 62322, My reply to one of her congratulatory
comments was, "And you are amazingly kind. Thanks, Connie".

We say goodbye to Connie with sorrow

For there won't be any love tomorrow

Her gifts to the community aglow 

Allowing the ranks to look up, and grow

Her passage crossed hearts and bridged PS to flow

Let's talk of the attributes of your tributes
Like a dear painting they hang on our hearts 
In a special place, only the tender is placed

Let's talk of your LOL! 
In every word you talk, in your comments to all
You are one that walks this world with a happy gait
You see things in happy clues!

Lol, the taste of India:)...

In stillness legends lie in rows 
Though strident are our chords of thought
Beckon they these ardent souls
By the eminence they hath wrought
Reflect do we in silence there
In remembrance of that life once lived
Granting we who came behind
Countless treasures come to mind
And peace adorns this quiet place
Adding to a tributes grace...

Always smiling with her words
	Never shadowed by clouds or gloom

She left my poems embellished with love
	Pretty comments inspired by kindness

Never will I expect to meet a friend more unselfish and helpful
