Good evening everyone and again, welcome to another Friday Night Poetry corner. This week, this fantastic poet name JOHN W. LEYS, gave us a tribute poem of the late, great queen of soul, Aretha Franklin. Check it out and visit this poet’s home blog. You will be disappointed.
For Aretha Franklin (1942-2018)
Aretha, Queen of Soul

Singing the blues

Standing tall with
Conviction and confidence,
The content of her character
Demanding respect.
