Perfect


Quietly spoken but every word counts

Her voice invests feeling announced

Nuance and nous combine to compose

Sublime moments with great talent that shows

Lyrical lilt and a flow that enchants

Honesty beguiles makes my soul dance

Tells her story empathy captured

Simplicity that leaves you enraptured

International woman commands respect

Rina from Germany a poet perfect

A nice sentiment Jon, but one that could apply to all the ladies in our circle. In fact I became aware of the skill, passion and power of female Poets and ran a post on my blog a few years back celebrating just that. I read and put to music a selection. Very Yin/Yang!
