- Edge - a Tribute Poem by David Wood
- Edge - a Tribute
The woman is now perfected,
Her dead
Body has reached it's final goal,
The ultimate Greek tragedy, now
Wrapped in the folds of her toga
Laid bare
For all history to mourn her loss.
She came but came so far and
Her loss has been immense to the
World of poetry for over five
Decades. Her world closed like
The petals of a rose that closes in
the garden when night falls. Yet her
Memory lives on, and her poetry has
Stood the test of time. She lit a candle
That still burns like
A shining star in the night sky,
Shining for all to see,
Where the onion moon has nothing to
Be sad about.
A tribute from one poet to another has authenticity. Very good write, David. 5 stars
Congratulations on this excellent poem, Mr. Wood. A text of exemplary clarity, concise, so that I dare say any good poet would have liked to have written it. A hug.
