A sad Day

A sad Day

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

We lost a mainstay at WC in the past couple of days...Marie passed away. She was 71, had been writing most of her life, had such a wry sense of humor. Marie's poems were almost always uplifting, she told it like it is with beautiful descriptions. And her reviews were always honest and sometimes quite blunt, but always well thought out and so often brought a smile.
I am going to miss her so much here at WC...won't be the same here without her personality adding to the mix of poets.
Rest in Peace fellow poet!

This is a sad and shocking news. I always awed her work whatever little i read in the recent months. May her soul rest in peace.

Thanks for letting us know, Jacob. She will be missed but cherished.

Jacob this was a beautiful tribute to a very talented lady, she will be missed here, but the beauty of poetry and words is that they linger long in our minds, long after the author has gone.
