I Nominate Trome For President
The Latin Lover
He’s crass
He’s totally off the wall
He’s vulgar
He’s funny as hell
And believe it or not
He holds women in high regard
He’s written some tribute poems himself
It took me some time
To get used to his poetry
(and I write dirty)
What some may not know
And what he may not want you to know
(sorry for outing you, my friend)
He’s a good guy
With a soft heart
Go to his pages
Look past the naked women
(okay, I know a lot if you don’t want to do that)
Read between the lines
He has some really cool things to say
Maybe it’s because I took the time to look
That I was able to see him
Once I did, it made all the difference
He’s like me in a lot of ways
He’s not for everyone
But he’s unapologetically for him
Why the hell not be President?
Other people run on the same ticket

My Guy, Mrd
A true lover of poetry
He’s experienced more than I can imagine
He knew Butkowski
He’s had a life I can only imagine
Not glamorous by any means
But he lived
He’s an excellent poet
And interesting as all get out
Sometimes mistakes make the man
We’ve had profound discussions
It’s been a while since he and I have talked
I miss him
My eighty year old friend
I’ll let his work speak for itself
Go to his pages
Read his work
Let your heart be touched like mine
By his brilliant mind
I miss you, my guy
He’s experienced more than I can imagine
He knew Butkowski
He’s had a life I can only imagine
Not glamorous by any means
But he lived
He’s an excellent poet
And interesting as all get out
Sometimes mistakes make the man
We’ve had profound discussions

My eighty year old friend
I’ll let his work speak for itself
Go to his pages
Read his work
Let your heart be touched like mine
By his brilliant mind
I miss you, my guy

To See Through His Eyes…(MagicVisionz)
I tripped over my tongue
On my first read
He’s a smooth poetic lyricist
The way he moves that pen
His reverence of women
Mm hmm
His erotic senryu style
Has garnered many a smile
I’m pretty sure he set my panties on fire once
And his rhyming is ridiculous
My kind of bliss
He hasn’t been around in a while
133 days to be exact
But you can be damn sure
I’ll be one of the first
To welcome him back
My friend MagicVisionz
The man who’s poems
Hit with precision
Ladies, don’t say I didn’t warn you…

He’s Hot, Hot, Hot (Panter896)
Sizzling
With just the right amount
Of tenderness
Ohh, weeee
Girl, go see what I mean
His writes bring you
To his erotic days and nights
My friend Panter lets me loose myself
Let’s my mind roam free
And believe you me
Sometimes I need that
The special brand of romantic
That is He
I’m grateful he came back
This poet who joined in 2014
His work
Is like finding a pot of gold
At the end of a rainbow
As soon as I read him
I was enriched
With just the right amount
Of tenderness
Ohh, weeee

Like Endless Starlight, A Lover’s Dream (Naajir)
He’s going to Feng Shui your interior
Until you can’t think clearly
And girl, your shower is going to become your best friend
His way with words is otherworldly
He makes you want to be HER
His muse
I never want it to end
He has a higher calling
A man who knows his worth
Refining himself
Pouring back into himself
A quest to be real
I’m honored to read his mind
Every time
He spills his truth
Because between me and you
Sometimes there’s a fine line
Between dreams and reality
And He kills it
Every
Single
Time
Until you can’t think clearly
And girl, your shower is going to become your best friend

Sometimes there’s a fine line

Thank you to all who braved the essence of this competition! This was intended to raise spirit and moral for DU during this holiday season. The submission that really stuck out to me was "Light Cannot Be Restrained" by WillowsWhimsies and "A Tribute" by Rew, who not only captured the essence of her subject but their form as well.
There were so many others that really stood out that it was impossible to award a third-place trophy.
Mary, you did an outstanding job on yours and are to be commended, especially on Honoria and Vitamin D Duende's tributes. Uma, your mystical weavings for your subjects were magically woven. Anne-Ri, as always you captured a spiritual depth unattainable by your peers.
Again, thank you all for participating. I have emailed WebMiss and asked if it was possible to make this thread a never-ending tribute, so that we may continue to spill our hearts toward those who inspire us.
I wish a Blessed Yule and Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! May the magic and spirit of giving and love permeate your holiday and may 2025 be prosperous in all things that matter!

Ahavati, thank you so much for hosting this comp, it was truly a blessing. For whatever reason, we don’t usually pay tribute to the people in our lives that influence us while they’re here, just like you stated. I’m grateful that you gave me the nudge to do so.
Merry Christmas to you and the rest of my DUP family. May we all be as happy and healthy in 2025 as we can be.
