Notice of absence from L. B. Mek
'fare ye well' kind friends
'fare ye well' kind friends
her regal height
forever crouched
stumbling, over
invisible pavement spikes
my favourite
conversationalist wonder
hours, travelling every tropic
with varied topics
unyielding backbone, scaffolding
unshakable, survival instincts
layered over a sponged, compassionate core
busily absorbing her life’s storms;
routines comforts, her delights
lifelong stable friendships as treasures
her purpled heart’s tattered covers
forced to survive, behind distances - curtains
memories aplenty
of bright laughter’s energy
bloodline loyalty
forging, ever-sweet melancholy
warmth, gift wrapped
within spirited boldness
anointed, an African princess
by her deeds: of intuitive kindness

Now we are all routing for Elizabeth who is so dear to you.........
she must be hiccupping aplenty today,
how very kind you all are, thank you!
Hail Elizabeth and long may she reign
bows low in the presence of one very regal post .. fit for a king I'd say .....
loved this, what a creative take
regal commentary: at its finest!
lol, such poetic fun
thank you, my friend
i would say
''no amount of praise will be enough for these treasured people''
you have proved me wrong!
superb;
took me a second to grasp
but as-ever, I'm so very humbled
every time a poet of your calibre
generously offers me, such encouraging words
thank you,
oh: visionary wordsmith supreme
There's a small handful of great masters at of word association on this site and you're one of them - always a pleasure to read your work.
feels delightfully nostalgic
just to see your name, my friend
humbly, I thank you!
A fine tribute, L.B.
On the world stage one of my favorite ladies.
it's certainly a name, for a Great Queen
that steadfast resolve,
will be much missed, when she's no longer
with us, I'm certain of that...
thank you Jerry, very kind of you
Women can be a blessing they can be a curse. Sounds like you found a gift.
Great write!
like all things really, including us men
its all a coin toss, of blessings and curses
we just cherish the one
and try to shed the other
life goes-on, regardless of either..
thanks for taking the time to support, dear poet
And a very happy birthday to dear Elizabeth my friend. You do her proud with this gem🙂
Amen!
what a kind gesture, really appreciated
and thanks for the encouragement, dear poet
