Congratulations on your 100th post!!!
What a tremendous accomplishment!!
As a new member, writing 100 posts seems unattainable, but now I know that it is.
This verse is heartfelt and sentimental.
I am sure all mentioned feel flattered by your words.
I hope your doing something to celebrate.... you deserve it!!!!

Thanks Kitty, yes I started writing here in March and have never used material from home, so I couldn't believe that it went so fast. Didn't you start a few months earlier or am I thinking about someone else?
-
I joined in March also, but since I am brand new to writing it takes me a long time to finish each verse I write. I can spend up to two weeks on any given poem that I post. I worked on ?warrior? for a month. I also do not get the chance to write everyday. Good for you that you can work so quickly:)
Comment from GARY MACLEAN
Now this is a Best-in-Class poem if I have ever seen one.
Para 3, 3rd sentence: add comma after (sweet)
Para 3, 3rd sentence: (other's) should be (others)
Para 3, 4th sentence: (World wide) should be (Worldwide) one word
Great rhythm, everything rhyming so nicely, very bouncy lilt to it, so easily read and enjoyed. All your friends are your friends because you are their friends. You are such a lovely person and an asset to FanStory. I consider myself so fortunate that you have recognized me.
Oh, and my favorite line of this poem? Why #3 of the second half, of course. ;))
I know I have told you I so seldom award six-stars for poetry because there is generally just not enough there to appraise. Especially not one where I find any SPAGs of any kind. But you have forced one out of me. You have written a keepsake poem worthy of six-stars.
Great job Debi. I award you the six-stars not just because you mentioned me in your poem but because it really is a good poem. It really does sing right along. The way you have written it, makes it so easy to read and recite. The poem virtually sings itself to me. Of course, the mention of my name didn't hurt either ;))

Awe, thank you Gary! I am happy that you only found 3 spags.
Lol, the fact that I am such a comma queen makes it hard to ignore the first one, because someone else will tell me that I am not supposed to use the comma with the word 'and' after it. And I already have your 6 stars. hehe
I thank you so much though and appreciate your helpful feedback, as sometimes autocorrect can be my worst enema!! Ok, I'm almost done with my comedy act, but you just made me so happy with your lovely words and generous six stars. I was surprised that your favorite part wasn't this one,
'If I could make a speech for you, I fear I'd never quit.'
Thanks again my awesome friend!

Congratulations on your one-hundredth post! That's a fantastic accomplishment. What you wrote about our little corner of the universe was incredibly sweet and thoughtful. This was also just very well-written and enjoyable to read.

Oh Liz, you have been such a delight since the moment I met you! I hope you are happy living in the big city and enjoying your guy. When do you suspect he might pop the question? I do hope you'll let me know. Thanks so much for your lovely words and your gracious gift of six stars! Certain people I just feel the connection right from the start and I hope you feel he same way.

He told me by the end of the year, so fingers crossed it's soon.

In this excellent poem--which sustains great rhyming and meter throughout--you have conveyed a lovely, exuberant message to show your gratitude for your fellow poets! "Puzzle" simile--wonderful!
