I can honestly say that I was never interested in poetry until I started reading a couple of Pam's poems every day. Now it makes me feel guilty that I didn't at least give it a try while she was still here to see, like she had asked me to do. Thanks for sharing your kind thoughts. :-)

Same here, Ric. Pam's poetry inspired me to try some of my own, and she worked with me constantly to help me improve. She taught me how to use animations in my posts, and sounds, and so much more as to poetic expression and form.
Thanks again for your generous rating and thoughtful review, my friend.
Comment from Jay Squires
What a tribute, Dean. I can feel the love in every line. Not being a poet, I wasn't privileged to feel her closeness to me as you did.
I understand now your allusion to passing her. I checked her under the poet rankings.
You're doing her proud, my friend.

I hope so, jay, I really do. She taught me so much, and as many here that loathe animations in poetry, it was Gungalo who taught me how to do it. Hence, the animations in this poem are in honor of what she taught me.
Thanks so much for your very thoughtful review, my friend.
Comment from seaglass
With Pam's love for beautiful graphics, she is smiling approvingly for your tribute. 'We are as the lilies of the field' our bloom is short in the overall passage of time. Many pass without having admiration from anyone. It reminds us to show love and appreciation for all gifts of those around us, everyday.

Comment from Louise Michelle
Oh, Dean, this is so beautiful. A passing nod ... remembering a wonderful Fan Story friend ... so poetic. It is so comforting to KNOW that when we pass, we are in a better place. Sigh ... Hugs, Lou

Damn, Dean, this is some really good stuff, I too think about her everytime I pass that listing. No matter how few reviews I got Gungalo would always stop by and add a nice comment. Yeah, that seems a little dimmer without her.

Well done, Dean.
Pam was always so kind and sharing. She was my first fan and taught me how the Fanstory system works. You have penned an excellent tribute to her. I still visit her page for a good read once in a while and am glad that her poetry is still available. She was talented as a writer. She was versatile in forms and in combining them in wonderful ways. I still learn a lot reading her poetry. My favorite is one about a crow. Not her typical topic, but kind of haunting.
Thanks for a reminder that we should cherish those around us.

Dean I am praying for Maureen too and dear you are sweet to give this nod to Pam. But I am proud of the work you do. I like and respect your prowess.
What are we going to do? Poetic lights are flickering. We are mortal my friend. I dig deep and hang on to God.living can be a rough ride
God bless

Yes, it can, kiwijenny, and I guess that's all we can do, to put our faith and trust in Him, and pray for the best. My light too will fade, as will all of our uniquely bright and wonderful lights. I only hope I leave as wonderful impression on people as Pam did on me.
Thanks so much for your complimentary review, and the six stars. I, as well as Pam, I'm sure, deeply appreciate it.
Comment from Domino 2
I didn't know Pam very well, Deano, but she was obviously loved and respected by many on here, yourself included, and this is a lovely humble tribute.
'Nestling with the angels' is a 'just a tad' (LOL) more important than a meaningless fanstory rating, as you so rightly infer.
Nice one.
Cheers, Ray.

She really helped me out a lot hen I first arrived here in March of 2013, Ray. And thanks for that "subtle" little hint, my friend.
That was go-o-o-o-d, LOL!

I didn't mean any 'hint', Deano - so maybe I'm even cleverer than I thought. You've got me thinking now. :-)
