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 ---

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.

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*
"...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...
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.
Okay...for poetry's sake I accept your obituaray. But for today...you're awesome and who could ever paint a storm like you or make clear the fear that comes along with it?
Glad your heart is still pumping!
Blessings and love,
Susan

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!
This may be humorous, but you made tears jump to my eyes! Don't you DARE go away. Okay, okay, I know! Not up to me, up to God! Please stay around for a while?? PLEASE?? Very well penned; you've met and exceeded the challenge brilliantly! BRAVA, Karla!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your (surviving) twinklies, Karen Lynn. :) >tears! <
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?
Sepsis knocked her down and out. Faith, hope, and gave her the strength to get back on her feet. I am a Runner She fought the river of death They said she'd never run again
She proved them wrong...
After a long awaited weekend visitation caused by false allegations of sexual abuse, Glen got to see his children for the first time in over two months. He promised them that they would never be apart again and then they disappeared.
Peace and love, *Glen*
Love Tinka
If you are thinking of donating to the poor, I may be interested! ;-)
