*This is the last in the tribute series as the pox seems to have moved on. I hope you enjoyed the tributes and felt they contributed something worthwhile.*Busy, busy, busy and fluttering wing in flight I get the best sensation, when I read of Spitfire's write Spitfire seems to hover, with words held in the air Then the purest poetry is scattered here and there When Spitfire begins to sing, I understand angel's wing The darting, hovering move around, as Spitfire's song is weft Her poetry is motion that with emotion bold is cleft Her words are spread across the page, in every write With words of hope, courage and rage, poetry in flight Spitfire song the wing reclaims of the phoenix from the flames Fluttering with power, Spitfire's spurting prose Brings about the movement, in scenting of the rose Her shrapnel words are spread far and near To raise the standard, bring a tear And like the eagle taking wing, Spitfire's stories now begin Spitfire writes in fit and spurts, taking all with her Hovering over all the work with pride the impassion'd spur She's come and gone before you know it But in her write there dwells a poet Spitfire may you always sing, rise upon hummingbird wing Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |
