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.
