ALICEINPOETRYLAND: A poem for one of the beautiful people on AP ~ #120 ~

 Photo credit: Gale Franey please post in authors notes if you use the photo 

 

 This is going to be the first of a series of contest to honor, what I consider, "the beautiful people" on AP. Those worthy of recognition, of which there are many.

This contest is to recognize ALICEINPOETRYLAND and can be addressed to her, about her or be a poem about anything for her. Gaylene writes wonderful poetry, is always very polite, courteous, puts allot of effort into making AP an enjoyable place for us all as herself and a site moderator. If you would like to read Gaylenes work here is her poems link:
