What a sweet poem. Perhaps some time Alicia will see it and realize she is being missed and return- just to say hello at least; if not to post more poetry. Such endearing words..how should she be able to resist that? .(smile)

A fitting and compassionate tribute, Sonya. It is a pity that Alicia will never see either of these 2 poems, unless somebody can find her somewhere and persuade her to come back.

Please also read 'No Ordinary Woman from Paraguay' which I wrote before this poem, which I was intending to post until I realized she was no longer in poemhunter. I then had to write this 2nd poem above.

Note: I favorited some of her poems but of course they're gone too. These are my comments to a few of her poems which sadly I don't remember the titles of: 1) Alicia, contrary to what you say, you're no ordinary woman in Paraguay. I know a poem is good when it makes me laugh, smile, cry or in this instance, gives me chills. 2) I'm reading your wonderful poems but it'll take me days so I will read a little at a time. I would like to mention 2 poems you have, the above and Alice in Wonderland. It's interesting how writers seem to write about the same thing but in different ways. If you have the time, read my poems 'A Dream of Alice' and 'Measuring Whales' and you'll see why. 2) You are incredible. Does anyone know what happened to her? Sometimes I think I may have just imagined her (and her poems!)
