A (Hopefully Temporary) Send-Off for Mary Holden
in her signature four-by-four style
Mary, our dear
editor-friend,
feels her days on
this site near end.
She’s had a re-
markable run,
(nine fine years
ago, it begun.)
From day one, to
me She’s been a
confedante,
consigliera,
selfless mentor,
thoughtful partner,
one fastidious
verse gard’ner.
Her four-by-four
signature style,
tightly knit and
versatile,
would be lamen-
table goner …
unless we sus-
tain the genre.
Let’s join pens and
keep up this terse,
fun-shaped, bite-sized
syllabic verse.
Gauntlet cast, and
challenge stated.
We’ll keep rhyming —
Unabated.
