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 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.

An Angel loaned from Heaven,
roamed this Earth, as if on mission,
lifting up spirits, the kindest among us,
oh Bless You mystical being ~
the Lord couldn't wait to have you back.

Connie- Tribute To Her Support
Her comments on my poems went beyond
words of support she left for me to read-
and mattered not if likewise, I'd respond.
Her goal was to encourage- spur my need
to write- her gift from our poetic bond.

Tribute To Connie Marcum Wong
She called me a friend even though we were ocean apart,
Her words were beautifully and skillfully crafted,
Genuine love permeated her chamber,
She loved the fragrant blossom of spring,
Autumn called her home.

Come, autumn breeze, in September
Sweep through our hearts so elegant
Like Connie, our sweet celebrant,
With sadness we will remember
Her warm and gentle touches still
Whispers of happiness until
She left us, a glowing ember
Burning so brightly in our hearts
Poems with rare beauty imparts.
Stirring souls like burning cinder
Becomes a muse to light our way
On this another autumn day.
On the

Tribute To Connie Marcum Wong
I couldn’t so delightful an autumn poem write
As dear Connie Marcum-Wong, so admired,
For colorful leaves falling in gentle breezes
Have not the muse our dear Connie inspired.
She was more beautiful than golden russet leaves
And therein I find genuine similarity as I write
Of September here in old Kentucky’s grandeur,
Connie, in Hawaii, never gave up the fight.
Providence like

When Sweet and Soft Morn No Longer Calls Out, Dedicated To My Dear Friend, Connie Marcum Wong
When Sweet And Soft Morn No Longer Calls Out,
Dedicated to my dear friend, Connie Marcum Wong
When heart is broken, ocean is drained
All becomes sad-blue, all life is stained
Dawn brings epic sorrows, no real relief
Ripped and torn, shattered some beliefs
Midnight moon casts down that terrible blue
Everything sad even shining new.
When heart is broken, ocean is drained
All

If I could give you a rose for everyone you touched, you would have a garden
of roses.
If there was a person's name that represented Kindness and Love it would be
yours.
If remembering someone special, that genuinely cared about others and was giving of themselves, you would be the one I think of.
If I had
