In honor of Carol Lynn Pearson's passing, I wanted a thread to be able to share her poems. I happen to love the field of poetry myself, but I've never gotten a hold of any of her anthologies as my local libraries don't carry any of her works. If you happen to know a poem of hers that I don't have included please post it too.
This was one she wrote referencing her future passing:
TO THOSE WHO HAVE LOVED ME
When I am gone
Let me lie in state
in your heart
for a day or two
or more.
Then plant me
deep in the soil
of your best work
And let me help
toward harvest.
