Doris Lessing 1919-2013 (A tribute)

Embedded image from another site


Doris Lessing is dead,
And she's not a feminist,
An uninhibited outspoken novelist,
She's also sociable and artistic.

Mind you she's no easy meat,
Won the Nobel Prize for a lifetime writing,
Passed away at the age of ninety four,
And her memories through her books will continue.

About this poem:
A tribute to the lady who wrote the famous 'The Golden Notebook'
She left her family to for her work.
Novelist,poet and writer.

Footnote : I really don't know who she is or read any of her books.
Just read the papers and when I was reading her story, felt compelled inside of me to write this, a sudden impulses and here it is with its full force.

Maybe its the magic of her aura or the mystic kinship from one writer to another. . . All I can say is while writing this, tears flow so I think she must be special.
