A nice tribute MissMerri.
I have read a couple of the others as I came in today, so I knew of.
You gave this a gentle and pleasant feel, a summing up of a life and a lady . She would have liked this.
May she rest in peace.
As usual, you deliver.
Have a pleasant week.

My best wishes.

This was a lovely tribute to your friend. There's a depth of feeling and honesty in your words. I'm sure she would have been very pleased to have been honored in such a way.
Condolences,

"Heavenly Star" could not glow with more love and admiration for a friend. How wonderful it was for you to have truly expert advice from someone full of devotion and knowledge for poetry, MissM.

Heartfelt tribute--a fine addition to the book of Joan! Stunning and fresh imagery--her helpful words would wrap around yours--brilliant!--Sums her up, from all I've gleaned.

This is a lovely tribute to Joan, though I did not have the pleasure of knowing her. She obviously left an impression on so many here at FanStory, I'm sorry for everyone's loss, and perhaps my own for not knowing her. Beautifully done.

Hello MM,
You've written a beautiful sonnet tribute for Joan with wonderful meter and imagery.
She had an artist's eye,
a teacher's touch, both guided by a loving heart.
She will be missed, but as you say,
"the heavens' stars are brightened by her glow."
Wish I had a six left.
Best wishes to you.
Robert

This is a lovely tribute Adonna, I'm sure she will be looking down and reading all these tributes. She would love the gentleness of this one, it's so much like her. It's so sad that we are writing these knowing we won't be hearing from her again. A beautiful tribute, my friend. Sandra xx

Dear Adonna,

Your English Sonnet for Joan is beautifully written. You chose the perfect poetic form in which to express such emotive thoughts and feelings. The Bard would be proud of you. Also, he would admire your perfect use of the form.

How sad it is to learn of Joan's passing. She was a light of inspiration to all of us who knew her. I will miss her writings, and will regret not reading so much of what she did post here when I departed several years ago.

A most beautiful tribute for a dear lady.

-Ray

    Thank you Ray. I'm glad you posted something too.
    I'm so sad for all of us who will miss, not only her wonderful posts, but her faithful reviews that were always so encouraging and forthright. She was a wonderful member/friend.

Another beautiful tribute to Joan! She sounds like she was a wonderful person and I'm sure God has welcomed her into her new home in eternity by now. Your rhyming and meter make your poem flow very well and the words ring with sentiment and love.
Thank you for sharing.
Susan

How absolutely beautiful and what a master you are of the metaphor. What an uplifting poem about a loss of a friend that is very sad yet opens up a beautiful entrance into eternity.
