A Letter To Ms. Holiday Comments

I haven't read Billie Holiday but I can tell this poem is a befitting tribute to the great writer. Sublime expression!

After reading your poem, I had to google Billie Holiday to find out who she was in order to understand your poem, after reading about her childhood and married life trauma and the sad end I could find your poem meaningful and pertinent.

Dear LeeAnn, Your tribute poem to the immortal Billie Holiday is a stroke of genius. Written in the form of a personal letter, you capture both her essence and yours. I would not be in the least surprised if this poem receives the distinction, and honour, of being voted Poem Of The Day!

We make a grave in our heart where sorrow rests. We have to raise ourselves out from that grave with the help of hope as sometimes hope is a springboard to a new future.

Yearning to be somebody else.....significant....
