Judity A. Buxton, the WDC author I admire most. |
JUDITY I always thought that women have A poetical mind; That they are confused creatures of A pretty special kind. Expecting them to use proper Grammar, punctuation, Was difficult, I do admit Without hesitation. This rather stereotype notion Was called into question When I met more than a match in Judity A. Buxton. I read “Red Fox” and the “Gray Dog”, And also “Green Dolphin”, “The Seraglio of the Gods” and Whatever she did spin. I must say that I never found Mistakes in what she wrote. I was greatly impressed by her Pen’s each and every stroke. The softness and intricacy Of all her description Of male and female characters Showed keen observation. Her stories are a marvel of A scheming, plotting mind. For long hours in her spell she can Her every reader bind. I can admire her but cannot In her footsteps follow In her genre my knowledge is Rather too much shallow. Just like the North and the South Pole, Like the thorn and the rose, Like East and West, the twain can’t meet, Poetry and the prose. • Written in abcb, 8-6-8-6 format • Written, with permission, in appreciation of J.
