Not planning on going anywhere soon. :) (Notice the date of death LOL)

--- Please read "Making Her Mark: Karen Lynn's Obituary" in the stories section. I had to help her with it. Hope you'll miss her as much as you do me. LOL ---

Poem Artwork


Karla Dorman, Poet Extraordinaire,
(also known as StormSpinner) spun
her last storm 4 October, 2058.

When she was good,
she was very, very good.
And when she was bad,
She was still read.

That's all she wanted,
to leave her mark on the world,
judging by the numerous
volumes she left behind.

Internment was at the National Cemetary,
paying homage to her military service;
her pen was donated to the Smithsonian,
as were copies of her media appearances.

She never let fame and fortune get to her
head; she donated to her church and to
many charities she believed in:  those that
helped the poor, animals, and Veterans.

She is survived by her twin sister and
many authors at the first place who loved
and accepted her poetry, Authors Den.

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (1/27)

Karla, Continue with your writing until that fateful day in 2058 and know that the majority of us will by then be part of an AD in heaven (we hope)and we will be reading everything you are writing! We may even be giving you inspiration.
Peace and love, *Glen*

2058???!!!!! WOW!!!!! I guess I sadly won't be able to see your pen at the Smithsonian - I'll be crumpled old bones, dust, and ash, long before then!

"...when she was good...she was very good; when she was bad...bad? you said bad? have you had your head lately examinated? you can't put the words Karla and bad in the same phrase!!!! are you nuts?
She was the sweetest thing this side of any twister...

To look and reflect on one's life is a difficult task indeed but you seem to have captured the essence of yours quite well and yes we would miss you.

I know this was meant to be humorous, but it still brought tears to my eyes. Maybe because it makes you realize that none of us are going to be around forever........but I, like you Karla, tend to be around for a long, long time...smile.

LOL - I am solidly with Bonnie and Karen on this one. And you'd best not be going away unless you want to see a storm which will make yours look like cool breezes!

And that's the truth.

I loved this Karla…”Donated the pen to the Smithsonian” That was great. This is a fun exercise in looking at ourselves be it in humor, hopes or just plain fun. I look forward to see what other may see in their own demise….again, thanks for playing along.

Okay, Okay, you scared me half to death. I immediately missed all the storm poems, I missed the pictures, I missed your uplifting words in my reviews. In short, I missed you. Don't do this again young lady, are you trying to make my cranky heart stop altogether?

I still love you, Bonnie
