Go Ask Alice

Missing image

 

When wandering pens needed a friend

among the layers of this internet poetry land,

they know they can always find

help and encouragement

from Gaylene's caring quill.

 

She is our "Alice"

to guide through AP's looking glass,

blessing this site of verse wonders

with her special loving spirit,

possessed of a soul that radiates inspiration.

 

Because she knows so well

the muse's dances each poet takes

and all the peaks and valley

that come from following creative winds.

 

With her pen she has enriched us all

by stunning stanzas to touch the heart,

and cherished thoughts that warm within.

 

How she personifies the paragon

of artistic grace and elegance,

always offering bouquets of kindness

whose scent helps refresh

when one stumbles on the trail of ink.

 

So with this offering

I give pause to lift up some simple praise

as well as gratitude

for an AP sis

who always makes the world a better place

by the way she adds to its beauty and magic.
