Lydia

For Lydi -- an inspiring lady.

Her words whisper
soft enchantments
into ears
that choose to
hear --
blessed sentiments
risque' yet demure
an edifice
of grace and charm
a teacher
a master
a woman
a mentor
name dances upon the
tongue
Lydia --
she is so much
more ...

Author's Note

It isn't much, but it's for you Lydi.

A wonderful homage to a lovely poet, she's got talent up the wazoo and more, she's funny and bright, has moxy to spare, her poetry sets the cafe on fire, that's our Lydikey! I love her to pieces, she's from joisey you know? ;) You did good KL bringing her sweet essence to light.

I am glad. There are so many people I like to honour, besides yourself miss Queen of the Fireflies

[Frieda P]

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you, Frieda, my talent is up my wazoo? No wonder I have been so uncomfortable lately! LOL You all are wonderful for my ego~! Lydi**

[Frieda P]

Ha you're funny as fook too dear woman, you know it means in excess!! ;P

[Lyn Anderson]

I assumed Steve's poem "Queen of the Fireflies" was for you, after your little firefly poem.

[Frieda P]

Yes it was, I was more concerned with your title...

[Trace]

What a wonderful tribute to our friend, Lydi,

Having known her for many years, prior to coming to W.C. I have been blessed with her incredible poetry and learned much from her.

She is a dear friend, and is so deserving of your wonderful poem.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

[Lyn Anderson]

Wow, you know her in person? Lucky man. I really love her poetry, and the grace and dignity with which she always comports herself on this site.

[Lydia Shutter]

No, we don't know one another in person, but Trace and I go way back to another site...about ten years or so. He is a great friend....and so are you!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

not enough ears choose to hear....and they are missing out big time....she is one of the best poets on this site...

I like this poem....it fits her so well.

[Lyn Anderson]

I agree. Lydi's poetry is beautiful, and many people miss out because she doesn't do self promotion. Maybe more people will check her out ...

[Lydia Shutter]

I am touched by the wonderful reviews the poem you wrote is getting, K.L.....I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am with the world this morning.

[redzone]

KL, it's Lydi and "so much more"... she is a wonderful woman, poet and human being... you honor her with your words... nicely done KL.. and on top of all you say here, she is also a Jersey gal and that in a few words says alot!!! I know when I scoll down I will read that she loves your poem and you!!!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you, Will. I appreciate your kindness. Lydi**
