I Learned it From Marie

. I miss that b***h so much .

I learned it from Marie

To be,

Caustic but relevant,

Talented and capable. . .

In your own way,

With a purpose,

Articulate and reasoned. . .

For a reason.

This s**t ain't easy;

      From Marie

I learned it from Marie 

What it takes to be difficult. . .

      You must learn that - from "Marie"

Author's Note

It's not what you think, creeps. Attraction doesn't have to be sexual (despite the usual evidence)

[Gee]

Good morning. Will have to go have a look at this lady's work

[Davidgeo]

I'm surprised you're not already aware.

[Gee]

I probably have come across her but only of late have I started to read others, mainly to improve on the stuff I post. Selfish ??

After joining the café in 2011, I used to read her poetry and marvel. Sent her a friend request once...

A poetic voice that seemed almost too strong to be muffled by death, it’s just that which unsettles.

[Davidgeo]

She always challenged me in a way I couldn't walk away from. Her poetry/writing was fine, but her conversation was priceless. No one made me reevaluate myself like she did.

[AYVID N]

Lucky, you had the opportunity to interact with her...

[Davidgeo]

I think I was her last "protégé".

[Davidgeo]

… so to speak

So this is a little tribute to Marie who excels in being difficult. I am left wondering who this treasure is, apparently much missed by you :)

She's a treasure that passed a long while ago. A long time ago she taught me some things I will never forget. http://www.writerscafe.org/robinson

We always remember those who have influenced us. I'll check your link out, another writer who frequented these boards?

[Davidgeo]

She used too.

Her last poem August Butterflies, is magnificent and poignant. Over 3800 reads and 63 tributes left for her. Clearly much loved and respected here. Thank you for the link. I'll be reading more of her.

[Davidgeo]

That makes me happy.
