JoAnn

 

Warrior spirit armors her heart

that beats with purest golden passion for life,

she reaches forth as friend to many

adorns AP with her quill

that sweeps its lines in countless tones,

composite creature of contrasts,

seductive, caring, sensuous, yet compassionate

a muse's many faces has she penned in words sincere.

 

Behind the gentle giving nature

resides a defiant courageous soul

who privately battles serious personal threats

without a need to make her valleys

displayed in verses seeking sympathy.

 

Friend who stretches the definition

beyond any expectations,

mother who puts her children before herself,

all she drapes by pen,

is a beauty of soft and simple eloquence,

which is some times missed

by those who do not know her scars.

 

At Allpoetry her light flows in many shades,

some misunderstood and misinterpreted,

but bedecked in verse jewels with her creations

emerging as a poetic hue of silver redemptive thought,

from a life refusing to surrender

to any darkness and foreboding ravines

where we all fall in our stumbling steps.

 

So for a friend, with her modest elegance

shared in countless gestures without expectation of thanks

is offered this modest tribute

in hopes it will let a crown of deserving recognition

adore for a while  over the trials and tribulations

tomorrow will bring

that will remain unspoken by your ink.
