This is a beautiful tribute in every way. It is enhanced and a wonderful break from the reviewing and day to day of all of this to sit and read these words, watch the candle flicker and listen to the soothing music. Not sure who the pianist is, but they have a wonderful soft touch and they play with great feeling. I'll thank you and just linger a while, michael

When Gungalo died, I cried for days. I still think of her and miss her so very much. I see her name every day and it pleases me that it is still on the list. This is a lovely and deeply moving tribute to a woman that had a great impact on so many.

I'm shell-shocked. I sit in silence reminiscing the moment. I take an awkward pause as I devour the keys of the piano. A wonderful tune, even the Angels in heaven would take an awkward pause ans beckon this sweet tune. This dedication and tribute only comes onc ein a lifetime and here it is. A simple star can not grade how gracious this art is. My heart stops... growing three times bigger as I heed these harmonious notes from the flute and piano. Very sad, it saddens me, like is like a candle, light extinguished against the zephyr. I'm short on stars, but i hope my words justify this marvel. Surely, Gungalo hears her music played. You may make the women cry. Life is a gift some take from granted. We are mortals and nothing more. Our belongings will drift at sea, searching for that dingy above. I nominate this piece as poem of the month or decade. Titanic comes to mind... amazing how words flow as I listen to this music. I did not know that Maureen has turned for the worse. My thoughts go out toward her in her time of need and prayer. Better go before I shed a tear. Sincerely... Rickey Chatham.

Anytime -- SPOOKY, I'm creating a new kind of poem that may interest you. I'm building it. I will surprise yaw...

reply by the author on 02-Oct-2014

I'll be looking forward to it. :)

it's similar to a tri-poem. I saw one the other day, but much more complicated, you know me. Thinking about calling it a Sun pyramids poem. Sun means three in Japanese. Essentially, it will be four poems in one. The three pyramids, it will be color coded, making a fourth poem. the pyramids will be topsy turvey, upside down in relation to each other. At the top of the pyramid, will be one syllable, two, three and so forth. Reversing at the top, eight, seven, six, you may get the picture. I will color code the sections sepeaating the words ussing color which you read across the pyramids to make a line. I got lots of ideas.. I ain't done poetry in a long time, but I bring it when I do.

When you get the format perfected and named, I'll give it a shot, Spook-a-Doo!

Exceptional

Nicely penned with sincerity.

As usual, great graphics.
Sentimental wording for a moment of thought.

A good write.

A good tribute for one of our dearest.

Thank you very much, RG...

Her tender trademark sighs have been missed. Pam was the first one who taught me how to use animations and sounds in poetry, and I did the ones in this poem in her honor. Not only were her poems so beautifully presented, but they always had an air of mystery and romance about them that I truly admired. If it weren't for Pam, I never would have began writing poetry in the first place.

I miss her too, Dean, she brightened my day, said such lovely things to me when I was going through one sadness after another. Not once did she say she felt poorly, she wrote right up to the end. I don't think there will ever be another like her. She would be pleased to see your poetry up there in the ratings, she would be so proud of you. This is such a beautiful tribute to one wonderful lady. Well done, my friend. :) Sandra xsx

As always a beautiful read. It is always difficult when you are reminded of such a loss again. Poignant, sad and it makes you stop, take a minute, reflect, respect and then move on. It's the way of the world. It does both you and her honor that you took the time.....

Dean, This is so touching and heartfelt.. She has been on my mind ever since I learned of Maureen's latest battle. The presentation is befitting in its beauty, for a beautiful spirit.

Thanks, DALLAS. I learned of the seriousness of Maureen's condition the following morning, after I'd written this. If one happens to pass her name up in the rankings, I'll hope they too will share a nod of respect as they pass her by.
