Encouragement for Arzel Joy

A poem to honor Arzel Joy that I began the day before she took her leave of absence from Writer's Cafe.

Master Poet,

But does she know it,

Yet we know it’s true,

 

Her fans wait to digest,

All of her very best,

Hungry for anything new,

 

When her poems are flowing,

Confidence is showing,

Shining in her poems, through and through,

 

Joy makes poems flow,

And we don’t know,

What’s coming out of the blue

Author's Note

I tried to turn this into a Senryu, which lost most of everything in the verses, so I thought I'd go ahead and put this on-line too, as this is what it was supposed to look like.

Simply splendid, enjoyed the read and great way to pay tribute...

[Eddie Davis]

Thank you.

[Blue]

I'm deeply touched by all the efforts my WC friends have done to uplift my spirits. You are a wonderful person, Eddie, and you never cease to amaze me with your encouraging words. :) Thank you so much for this!

Nice tribute to Blue again...You know, she's only 18 but a very strong woman as I see it. She tried everything in order to help herself and her parents. She's very talented and she maximized the use of those talents.

You've been the one who encouraged her, Eddie. She will be honored with the pieces you made for her.
Keep encouraging people. You have a great heart.

[Eddie Davis]

Thanks, Dhaye, it is really hard to know someone online but at the same time not really know what is going on in their lives, so you aren't quite sure what to say (or how to pray) for them. But God knows, and I'll keep praying fore her.

[Blue]

Ate Dhaye, thank you so much! You never run out of good things to say! :) And yes, he has a great heart. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Eddie.

[Eddie Davis]

You're welcome, Blue. Don't ever get too discouraged, you are really a great person and extremely talented in many ways (We've heard you sing, don't forget...) :)

[Blue]

Yeah... Hahaha. That one. ;)
