Neat very sweet poetess
One of the great poets

I was trying to rhyme the fun word category
When a head and a hat became a hat-a-story.
Suddenly a gentle lad was a grat-a-Cory.
And falling on his nose made a good flat-a-nory.
So is skat-a-lory in another category?

When I joined soup they rolled out the welcome mat
Anne-Lise, Poet Destroyer and her lovely sister Skat
I felt so excited that my poem had been read -
As the idea of posting had filled me with dread!
They all work so hard to build a community
To welcome new people who write poetry
There are many other people I would love to mention
But I’ve only ten lines; Andrea won’t give an extension!
Thank you to all who have helped me on my way
And with luck I may write a decent poem one day!

Skat A sends a fond hello
to those who stumble on this site,
in hope to see their sureness grow
and share with all a rare delight.
For a watcher at the gate
time’s a precious gift to share,
let us therefore contemplate
the limits of the lady’s care.
We may come and we may go
with naught to give us pause
but the whole bravado
is no grounds for applause.
The entrance to a magic world
a curtain drawn and then unfurled.

My heart grieves for the loss of a talented Quill
For the Inspiration she warmly gave to this newbie
From the sunlight of Skat's words of Wisdom
To the moonless midnight of a heart forlorn
Memories, smiles, and joy become shadows of the past
May the Spirit of poets past descend upon her heart
That she may see the Admiration and Love that Skat receives
(From me anyway) and many others I'm sure.
I Love You Skat and intend to read all of YOUR Quill after I finish
the comments on Your last post. As Chef says I bow to you and
hand You The GOLDEN Pen of Poetry. You are my guiding ANGEL
Respectfully submitted...Flipper

Hi! friend hi!
A tribute to our lovely Poetess friend: SKAT
Categories:
skat, dedication, friend, poetess,
Form: Light Verse
In my first day at poetry soup she dropped by to welcome me
I was scared from being alone - I mean there's so much left to learn
But nicely she came believing in what I will be
Lovely SKAT I hate to say goodbye
These words just grab tears in my eyes
I'm gonna miss you and miss your sweet soul
Your leaving will cause the soup a big damn hole
I wish you the best from all of my heart
I wish that nothing ever do tear you apart
I hope you get back real soon
To be our delightful , bright, shiny moon

I thought of a girl
I wished to know better
So I started with her name
Examining the placement of each letter
The name
That name
The one she chose
Not Rose
or Daisy
Violet or Macy
The interesting bit
She chose the name SKAT
I was left to ponder about that
Where was her mind at??
This poet and sweetie
who glides in and out of our lives
like the proverbial cat
So I searched Google
for the meaning
Wondering what she was feeling
Was the definition sweet and appealing?
It ended up being about cards and dealing
SKAT is the discarded card
My heart dropped from the ceiling
Leaving my mind questioning and reeling
Instead let's make her the ace up our sleeve
The most special of all cards
lets search deep in the pile to retrieve
If we do
maybe then she'll believe
she is worthy of our love to receive
We all want to be in the game
Sometimes there's meaning in a name
If we don't look close that is our own shame
Now when I look at SKAT
I see her differently
not the same
On a flickering candle
She is the flame
Both light and shadow,
SKAT is her name!
Dedicated to our SKAT

There's a ravenous rhymer named SKAT
who prowls prose like a big jungle cat
Check your door cuz she might
(if she likes what you write)
leave a word for you on the front mat

buddy SKAT who was the very
first person to welcome me to
the Poetry Soup community.
Thank you for your encouraging
comments and continual support.

I dream of the white swan
Gliding so gracefully
I dream of you riding
On that swan with me
Your head on my shoulder
My arm around your waist
I lift your chin with my finger
How good your lips taste
--
I dream of your arms around me
A gentle touch, to and from
In your arms, on the wings of Angel Dust
Lovely lips, on my cheeks
Tonight I fly with you
A swan move, of ecstasy
Passion in every bite,
Making love, romancing my heart
Inside eternity, I dream of you
With the ebbing sun casting shadows
Our swan takes to the wing
This is a wonderful romance
The breeze seems to sing
Our kisses grow frantic
As we each other undress
The poets below catch our garments
and write poems of such bounteousness.
We embrace the merry melody
Danced a dance of written joy
The sight of you quivers my every bone excitedly
On each wing, side by side
Words take heed, arousing the need
Like gravity your body sustains a force
Attraction upon my soul,
Two bodies dreaming of love

When i look at your face,
My heart feels that it is in the right place.
If you do something wrong,
I will have to be strong and carry on.
I try to be mad,
But With one look at you,
Your beautiful smile, can change my view,
Just to see you smile,
Just to look at your happiness,
You can change my life around
I can not stand to see your sadness
Just to see you smile
makes me very glad,
I can only be mad for a while,
But don't you fret,
Your smile sparkles to my sight,
You know i always will fall for you each night
So let it shine brightly,
You can get away with almost anything,
your beautiful smile,
a gift from Heaven,
let it's power praise, bless and sing,
as if it is the only...one true King.
SKAT - OZ

Hey Baby S.K.A.T..."Where-You-At?"
Because, this is the place to be!
The Poetrysoup needs a scoop
Of your slamming poetry!
Hey Baby S.K.A.T... Let's go "Tit-For-Tat!"
But, prove to me that you want to win it!
Whatever you do...Don't obstruct my view,
Like a glass eye with a fish in it!
Hey Baby S.K.A.T...Come join my FRAT!
And show me that you have a quick hand!
You must be able to prove yourself stable,
Like a peg leg with a kick stand!
Hey Baby S.K.A.T...Don't be a BRAT!
Don't just lay down and take a nap!
Please don't fear that your slams look weird,
Like an AFRO with a chin strap!
Hey Baby S.K.A.T...Your MOM is FLAT!
OOOOH! Now what do you have to say?
I have bigger breast on MY chest.
"NOW do you want to come out and play?"
Hey Baby S.K.A.T...This is just a SPAT
To see if I can hit that spot!
So, I will put this one to bed, but like Jay-Z said...
"Little Mama...Show me what you got!"
