From the pinnacle
of poetry
a star blazes,
bolstering
lesser lights
with reflected
effulgence--
a super-nova
among candles.
Karen, you are
imagination's queen;
a regal guide through
labyrinths of lyric
grace and beauty--
long may your
loyal subjects
pay homage to
the burning talent
that ignites
your poetic fire.

Well, brother. Once again, you impress me with your words. Wonderful tribute. Good luck and write on. ONe.

My light brigade...
Poetic fire I do aspire
to light yon distant star,
'tho 'tis not eyes which light
my skies, but heart sparks
from afar.
They torch one thought
and then another,
windfalls seeking light ~
nebula birthing starbusts
to nova my delight!
Thank you, Bill. Poetry, like love, is nothing, if not shared... I'm so glad you do and add your heart sparks to my fireworks dreams.

These are really encouraging words. I'd be fair chuffed to have the same said about me - super nova among candles indeed, though I'm a laddie rather than a lassie, of course!
Well done. A moving tribute which really hits the mark.

This makes me smile for it feels so full of pagentry and strength that our gentle spirit feels almost as if she is the Goddess Demeter due all the glory of her deification. This is truly delightful and should leave her with a twinkling smile.
Peace & Light,
Tom B.

brilliant
One does not have reason to use "effulgence" often - here it is appropriate. Check its modifier - reflected?
This poem is a gentle and affectionate tribute, I agree heartily.
