she has no wrong angles

for Frieda :) And to the triangle who called her obtuse ... this is for you.

She has a soul as deep as an ocean
and enough hurt to fill it up --

She tickles and slashes with her poetry
and doesn't know how to give up --

She is everything good and right
when the world is turned askew,

a friend,
a mentor,
a mother,
a sister,
a poet,
and so much more ...


She has all the curves and angles,
and none of them are obtuse.

She has lived a life you couldn't spend one day in,
and she wouldn't want you to.

'Cause everyone knows my Frieda
loves her shoes ...

That she does. It's a wonderful tribute to our reigning poetess. She is one of the finest human beings I know and I am proud to call her friend.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you. Her absence is felt.

[icelandicblue]

Most definitely KL. I miss her too.

[stars are far]

that was very beautiful tribute and yeah very well done, hehe it was so sweet of you to write this about a poet, well done ;)

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you for picking this one up.

[Damien Thibodeaux]

A beautiful tribute to a beautiful human being and our friend.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks for reading, and yes, she is a great gal.:)

A wonderful homage, KL. That last line is on the money:)

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks. I got my back up when somebody called her obtuse. Can't think of a person more the antithesis of the negative connotation of that word.

[Pryde Foltz]

Obtuse … lol … not even a little. Whoever said that must have been new to these parts. People have a tendency to confuse the lack of shared opinion with a lack of intellect. It's soothing to the ego. "One can't be wrong; the other must be slow."

[Vidya Bacchus]

Freida is one of the most intelligent,witty ,kind people I have ever met and anyone that says different is an idiot.That's my thought.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Great pen cat I forgot to say that.Does that mean I am dim witted and obtuse lol

[Lyn Anderson]

You are too kind and too funny, and definitely not obtuse! You know, it's amazing to me how writers think to post something about someone and expect no backlash from a bunch of writers. Kind of like celebrities saving their nudes to the "Cloud" duh -- HINT -- there's a setting for not saving it to the web. Amazing. The power of the internet.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Hahaha true,that celebrity thing always boggles my mind that they think those pics won't be found but I digress Freida is like a rockstar and I'm a groupie for sure .You cat have heart of gold.Heck can I be your groupie too ??lol

[Lyn Anderson]

That would be a first for me. I was the odd chick out always.:)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Well cheers cat didn't you hear you are the in chick right now.True, you my dear are all the rave and I'm going to be your first groupie before they find out where you are and knock down your door lol

[Frieda P]

What do you mean nude pics aren't safe in a 'Cloud'? haha ;)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Hahahaha does that mean what I think it means chica?

[Frieda P]

I was just trying to get your attention pazzo....my lips are sealed. haha

[Vidya Bacchus]

Hahaha It's like no place is safe for my.....umm I mean people's naked pictures that they took for no apparent reason hahahaha

[Frieda P]

I know better than to put my fat arse out there, I have three sons who'd hunt me down ;) haha

[Vidya Bacchus]

True that chica.I don't get why people do it but whatever rings their bell lol

[Frieda P]

People are nutters, you know that firsthand pazzo. lol

[Vidya Bacchus]

Ha aye that is the damn truth and coming from you a true compliment :)

intensely Frieda here...you describe her so well....

nice tribute to our poetess..

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks. I couldn't help it. I used obtuse in my poem (for me, one of the worse possible insults that an intelligent person can be called) only to find out Frieda had just been called obtuse. I took it personally.:)

[Matching Socks]

Aww, she does love her shoes and walks in them well.
Strong and with her pretty little head held high.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, yes she does.

[Frieda P]

Oh geez....doing the happy dance, you made my day!! First off, what a sweet thing you are, who knew? ;) Only kidding, you know I love ya to bits. Seriously, I'm pretty much gob-stopped, you nearly left me speechless with this one....oi, the music, and the triangle people, gotta love it. Thanks muchly for the support, I appreciate your friendship more than you know.....MWAH! x

Second, where can I buy those shoes?!

[Lyn Anderson]

Ha. I am glad you like it. I can't help myself. I really took offense for you, and stealing a perfectly good word like obtuse and using it on you! Never! I appreciate your friendship too. I was stewing about it after I put up my poem, and had to write it when I got home. And as for the shoes, I pulled up an image of Jimmy Choos, and there they were.

[Frieda P]

It is a good word, oh well, you know you can't please everyone. Thanks again from the bottom of my un-obtuse heart!

[redzone]

MM has convinced me, I'm converted... OHMY, does this make me OBTUSE!!!! well I am obtuse when it comes to Frieda.. yep, bigoted and biased and "end of story!!!` er... KL, you have delivered us unto Frieda and all the way down to her shoes, red, 6" heeled ones... beware all those triangle people, Frieda and KL have spoken!!

ok some serious... Frieda, is one of the most open minded people I have met here at WC, she is all you have penned and then multiply by a few infinities... she is a very special woman... poet, friend, wonderful human being.... oh and yes, a Joisey Girl... very special indeed...

and to you KL.. as MM says, "reach out and touch faith"" (you know how silly I am when I tell you I always thought it was "touch face")

~~redzone

[Lyn Anderson]

I am thinking this is funny, Frieda is coming back to a whole lot of chatter over this.

[redzone]

OH MY GOSH!!!! what have you done KL!!????

[AprilRN1210]

I love it when we reach out and show support for one another, we don't always have to agree on things, and I think it is awesome that we don't otherwise would be pretty darn boring, now wouldn't it... that being said, I think we should respect each other for the awesome writers and people that we are... You know that both of you are so dear to me and this has touched me on many levels.. ((hugs)) to both of you.. for you are both beautiful, bright spirits that shine way above those simple minded ignorant idiots who wish to lash out... :)

[Lyn Anderson]

You are too kind, April, and thank you for the sweet review. I guess, for me, when I think of obtuse, and I equate it to being pig headed, oblivious, rude, and unfeeling, I take offense at that word being used on Frieda because of her beliefs or lack thereof.

[AprilRN1210]

we all know how powerful words can be, but also know about perception... I don't know what was said or whatever and love to avoid drama, but I do adore support from each other... you both have my friendship and my respect.. I also understand where you are coming from... She deserves only respect and admiration for the talented amazing beautiful person she is...
