Shirley's Soliloquies

March 12

Happy Birthday
to my dear friend, Elaine McCarthy,
who passed away suddenly
in October, 2009.

Elaine, I wrote a poem
about you, called "Wild Girl."
Yesterday, I submitted it to
The Comstock Review.
I hope they publish it!

I miss you, and am grateful for
33 years of friendship, and many
wonderful adventures.
Tell Cooper I said,"Hi."

Love,

Shirley
