She is sweet like the taste of honey
Her poetic words just sail,
But somewhere behind her poetic charms
hides a love that never fails.

Her dreams are soul discovered
through the pen of her breast,
Where the fire for writing rouses
her thoughts of love at best.

Then in the terms of rhymers
When she spreads her heartfelt wares
An appearance grows on the guilded page
Beyond her regular cares.

Off in the spacious night skies
Where she dreams her dreams of wish,
The drift of the falling starlight
captures her words like a kiss.

And she cannot change the yearning
Of the Passions in her soul
And words that build and gather
all mesmerize and grow.

You say! just a farmer's wife
To work and know no less,
Her heritage that of labour years
with nothing else be blessed.

Awake those eyes turn slowly
To these pages of her peers
Through the smoke you'll see only
deep praises for her here!

Prinny True, this is a beautiful heart warming poem from you about Kethry, I know she will love this one she truly will. Well done P T, absolutely wonderful tribute to her, and she deserves it too. (So do you, but after hers and Paula's I couldn't hope to match it, so I won't ) Utterly fabulous work, I don't need to say I love this because you know full well I do.
Take care

Oh silly me, I forgot to tick the box, which I'll do now. Why don't you send her it in a card, I'm sure she would love it.

PERFECT E-babes ... perfect ...
and she deserves this for all her wonderful tributes...
you have shared her with us all well and
given us a glimpse of the sweet poet behind the pen...
and you did her justice with your words
sweet gesture from you as well.

I looked into the sky for my anthem
The words and music came through
But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen
Looking into you

Sis,
I didn't miss it, I was unable to reply because I was speechless.
It's still wonderful though.
Huggle Bunny, do you know how much I love this, Well I do! heaps and heaps.
