'Death of a Writer'

This is a new version of an old poem of mine 'Death of a Writer' I wanted to post it in memory of my friend Marie who was one of the first to friend me on W.C

                              ‘Death of A Writer’

 

          When I die and leave this place

         Remember me with saving grace

     Each word I wrote and sentence given

             For all thee so was I driven

 

  When no longer can this page constrict

                                           My soul of solitude of me depict

           A lonely image sitting here

   A ghost upon an antediluvian chair

 

                                     So when I’m gone don’t mourn for me

       You never came in life to see

  The pain I endured to get thus far 

      For this is who we writers are 

 

 

For and in memory of my good friend Marie here on Writers cafe that passed away recently I will miss your charm.

I like this. What a wonderful tribute. I did not "know" Marie. I haven't been here too terribly long but I have heard about her. I know many people must miss her terribly.

I'm glad I found this poem. Very touching and well constructed. I appreciate the story it tells with the flow of your gentle words; yet this was a powerful piece.

What a touching piece you've written, Will. I love your poetry...how I wish you would write more.

Thank you for your most compassionate heart, my dear friend!

It was the Marie I thought of...thank you for letting us know, Will!

[Tegon Maus]

Good write Will... maybe a link ? I know there is only one Marie on WC but just in case a second wants to sign up... so those of us that didn't know her can tell the difference.

Thanks Tegon, I will do that
