This may not be farewell forever, yet the fact remains
that even a partial presence could not satisfy all the names
of people you've touched, and inspired with thought;
countless lessons you've learned, and infinitely more that you've taught.
You are culture without boundaries -
how you've found the time has dumbfounded me,
and your knack for equality has astounded me.
It's a bit of a paradox for everyone to be your favorite,
yet with no mechanism to manufacture that somehow you made it.
A kindred spirit, not capable of false praise
which shall remain an icon in this community for all it's remaining days.
It's difficult to be accurate in regards to all you've done for us
for only a portion of the terms needed exist in the thesaurus.
You've established yourself along this path and never careened
and I managed to have you as fan, my strong, black queen.

I knew by the title this was about the infamous Poetryality - my most favorite and memorable person here. And your poem speaks of her so true and sincere.
i completely agree and couldn't have said it better myself. thanks for that!

My dear Mike,
You have supported me no matter the style, genre, look, placing of words...no matter. I feel so very fortunate to have you as my little brother and friend. I am truly blessed with you being part of my life here at AP. It doesn't stop there. There is no such thing as cyber space when it comes to how you show your love to me and have since first we met. Thank you for always being there. I LOVE YOU!
Always ♥
Renee

Awwwwww
If anyone on this site can truly appreciate my style, you are among those chosen few. There is a reason why you are always one of the first people I want to show my new work to, and you never leave me false praise. I appreciate it, and I hope this piece conveyed that half as much as I mean it. Thank you a million times.

Those are exactly my thoughts and some of the things I have said to her!
The name poetryality is attached to Allpoetry, they sort belong together
You have seen her true value in this site, and lets hope that she find a way to be more than an occasional visitor.
I asked her not to take down any more of her poems from her page, for the same reason as you mention in your author notes.
Thank you for making part of this contest!
