Cherry Mountain

Cherry Mountain
In memory of:  Poet Nancy Simpson


Above the frost line
on Cherry Mountain,
daffodils spread a quilt


on Valentine's Day.
The rain crow cooing
above the frost line.


A breeze whispers your name,
muse flowing like a brook
on Cherry Mountain.


The mountain writer
leaves a legacy of words,
daffodils spread a Lone Star quilt.


              --Brenda Kay Ledford


Nancy was a dear friend.  Like many other writers, I studied poetry under her.  She was a mentor to many people and always encouraged us to express our creativity.  We will miss her very much.
