A beautifully constructed sonnet, Adonna, and a wonderful tribute to a remarkable lady. I didn't know her personally, but she was a true friend and support here on FanStory. I always enjoyed reading her poetry and reviews.

This is an exquisite sonnet, MM. A tribute for Joan that would have her smile to know she was so well-loved by the FanStory family.

Wise, beautifully and talented poet and artist she be.

Thank you for writing such a fine sonnet and sharing for Joan.

Thank you so much for this star-studded review FLAE. I am quite well, thank you. But busy getting ready for a wedding. Let us know when your novels are done.

Joan was a rare star for sure! I'm so saddened to hear of her passing and thank you for letting us know via your well written poem and notes.

I'm not much of a sonnet person, but your metaphors and found memories of her kind soul and talents ate much appreciated.

Sincerely,
AnnaLinda

This poem is a beautiful tribute to one who was a dear friend and mentor to many. She was a gracious and caring person, and very encouraging. It is beautifully composed in her honour.

Thank you Wendy. I agree 100% with your description of Joan. She was all of that and we will miss her so much around here. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for her husband Bob, right now. Thanks for this wonderful, thoughtful review. MM

I just learned from reading your authors notes that Joan passed on. This makes me sad but after reading your loving poetic tribute that she is and has become a star, in Heaven.

This is such a tender loving tribute to Joan. I was so sad to hear of her passing.
Your Sonnet shares her lovely qualities as a person and as a poet.
I love the final couplet, which pretty much says it all.
Rhyme and meter are excellent.
Nancy

I am so grateful for this wonderful review Nancy. Thank you for reading and for the stars and lovely comments. She will definitely be missed. (I still miss Brooke and Dean and Michael and several others. Maybe I've been here too long.)

I know I just discovered that Phyllis passed away Jan 9th. I had no idea.
Too many.
