Elegy For A Beatnik (For Diane Di Prima,1934-2020) Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi
Elegy For A Beatnik (For Diane Di Prima,1934-2020)
The stars are shedding their brightness
Since yr demise
But yr memory will be legendary
That will give the stars back their illumnation
Among the Diggers, you were a true bohemian
A beatnik, a poet
A mother of five children
And the lover of freedom from convention
Sleep Diane, let yr words descend
From the page to a revolution
With yr letters in song
Written upon the sky
Touching tribute! The beatnik generation left its mark in history

Truly outstanding tribute to a very courageous and dedicated beatnik. The last 4 lines left me speechless. Wow! Another winner, Lee Ann!
