Calliope Weeps
*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*
In Memory of AK English
1964 - 2006
My Friend, My Mentor, My Soul Sister
*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*

The poetry world you left behind
is a silent place; without you to inspire
a reverant hush replaces frantic scribblings.
Those who mourn your passing
spend memory filled nights and
in the light of day their pens
lay unused, papers blank. Their
hearts are with you beside the
bridges near your final resting place.
Poetic inspiration waits with them
and they feel Calliope weeping
for one more day to inspire you.
But you are not there. You
were too pure of soul to remain.
Now You are a scribe of Heaven
writing lyrics for angels to sing,
songs too sweet for human ears,
words that adorn the endless
night skies as ribbons of stars.

My words would somehow seem to inadequate to describe how much i enjoyed this. It brought a tear to my eye no lie.

This is a very beautiful and worthy tribute for your friend.  In the last while, we have lost some of our Pipsters, and I am sure Calliope is weeping for them as well.  There are sad tears in the Pip web, that can’t be fixed.

Yes, she was, and a very special one - and Kacy (Midnitesun) was another very special one.

Marge was a good friend of mine and member of my website for a long time until she became ill. Her poemscapes were beautiful just as she was a beautiful person.

It is very hard to lose such a good friend.  We were all very blessed to have known her.

The pain of the heart is so beautifully conveyed here, dear Marcia.

A very touching tribute indeed.
