Beautiful Spirit
You inspired from the start,
cradled me in the wealth of your knowledge.
Nursed this fledgling through it's poetic birth
A beautiful spirit that burns and sparks,
a vessel for all that is dark and exquisite,
and righteous.
Now you have been laid
and it is I who must support you.
Give you hope, enouragenent
I will ease your burden.
Erase your suffering,
allow you to be strong..

Hi it's nice to hear from you again. I feel the poem's a little sloppy and over the top, but the words are heart felt.
Thank you.
Love Lou xx

soppy or not
(and i actualy don't think it is really - it needs a tidy up in parts, but one can see it comes from the heart)
just the last line spoils it a little
i think you need something stronger - sorry, no suggestions because this is yours and yours alone
lovely sentiment lou
love judy

We want to know more about this person
The first two verses had me intrigued and I was
slightly saddened on the continuation as it could
have developed otherwise to contain 'more,' I am
not so sure what but there was something nice in
this that would be beautiful to follow.

We want to know more about this person
and are disappointed when we don't.
I don't know but that's what I felt about it.

A very nice tribute to a kind mentor in my opinion. I think " me " may have been repeated too much in 1st stanza, but that may have been intentional..........scribbler

Hi Ian
It isn't for me to explain what inspired me to write, this poem for Cat. She explains it very well in her poems.
