Marie - a friend of WC - R.I.P.

I first encountered Marie on here a few years ago. She had been a poet here for many years before I joined. She didn't comment much on my writing to begin. I didn't know what to make of her. Many poet's here said the same in private. They thought her aloof. When I got to know the soul behind the best ballads on WC and the brief (but skilful and very vivid) poems, I knew her to be warm, witty, straight shooting and positive. Marie passed away last month. She will be sadly missed. 

Her writing speaks for itself. She bequeaths to the world a fine canon of work (published works too) which if you care to read it will show you who she really was. God Bless you Marie. x

My dear friend Marie, it truly pained me

To see the Return the Love! widget, this day on W.C.,  

List your avatar - 'twas then it came home to me 

That your great wit and your sponsorship I'll never

again see.

 

I remember your skills quite vividly ~

Once you penned the best snow-scape I ever did read

Then when I commended it - you admitted to me

That you'd never actually seen such, not personally.

One of the finest gentle-lady poets we'll ever see.

So fair of pen and commentary

One of our number - a mainstay of WC.

Queen of the Ballads - our dear Marie. (R.I.P.)

A missed woman. Always kind to me. We have lost many. We need to keep their site and words alive.
