I truly find the poem very creative. You must have spent a lot of time putting it together. The 'homos' give the work a lyrical flow. The rhymes perfect. Thanks for sharing your story. Well done, dear Debi.

Esostine, I am so happy you found this one, as it gave me the chance to come see you to see what your poor country is going through. Horrific!!
I came looking for your birthday, which I never found, but would love the opportunity to put a smile on your face with all you are dealing with.
Just let me know if that is something you would want. I can mention some of the hardships for your country to reach more people.
Thanks for this awesome review. I truly appreciate that you noticed the extra time it would take to do one of these. It is the first for me, a challenge which made it fun. Your kind words mean so much to me too. You have made my day in so many ways. Thank you again, my dear friend. Love, Debi

Debi! I don't know how you came up with this challenge, to include homophones, homonyms, or homographs within each line ~~ but it's quite the triumph to do so while maintaining the "story" of the poem and rhyming flawlessly!
Whew! It'd take me a week of Sundays to try this... and I have serious doubts that I'd be able to do it!

Thank you, Sweetie, and maybe this is the one I should have saved, but no, that one is the first one. I appreciate that you could see the extra challenge here and I loved the delightful comments about the poem. It made me smile that you felt it was good. Thanks so much for the six stars, as the whole review made my day. Thanks again, sweet friend. Much love, Debi

I'd promise to give it a try...
But we both know it likely will never come to pass.
How CLEVER!

This poem demonstrates your never ending creative talent. Within three grammar techniques along with poetic rhyming, you tell an engaging story. Before realizing you included a word list at the end of your poem, I enjoyed seeking out the homophones and homonyms. A fun read.

Well aren't you the clever one. You can relax, I do not think you will ever run out of things to write about. Please know that whatever you write I will without doubt read.
A bit of news, I just submitted the manuscript of my latest book, the working title is "Thoughts From inside my mind". I will let the friends on FS know when it is published.

Nolan, that is wonderful! That felt weird, but for this one all important moment, you deserved your real name. And I am so very happy for you. This has been a long time dream for you, as I know as well as anyone.
I am so proud of you that it is a good thing I am not wearing a blouse at the moment, or my buttons would be popping. LOL..
Thanks for reviewing my H, H, H poem. It was very time consuming and challenging, so I appreciate it greatly. Love, Debi

I am thoroughly convinced that there is nothing you cannot accomplish. You are that good at what you do.

LOL, look who's talking, dear brother. Maybe you can teach me how to get started on a book. I truly want to do one but don't even know where to start, besides cleaning all of my earlier ones up. I would love to do one of just my tributes but that would be a lot of permissions to get. LOL

Good for you. a nice narrative poem using some good literary devices and telling a compelling story. I like the characters - the brother coming to the rescue of his sister, and determining that the guy is not a creep after all.

I sure do appreciate that very much, my awesome friend. Love, Debi

Thanks so much, Sal, and I appreciate your lovely review, sweet comments and that big bright extra star. Yes, this was a big challenge and I kinda made it up as I went but it was a lot of fun, but took a long time. I guess I was just getting bored with my same old eight or fourteen syllable poems.
Thanks again, dear friend. Lotsa love, Debi

Most welcome, sweetie! You did GREAT! Love you BIG!

Hi Debi,
I'm so glad this poem finally came through right. How did you get it to work?
It's a great poem about misunderstanding and redemption. The poor guy didn't mean to stand the sister up, but had disasters of his own. Now he has a second chance to develop a relationship because the brother made the effort to connect.
Big hugs and love from Texas,
Rhonda

First of all thanks again for your help early this morning. I finally had to disable it and got some sleep. First I wrote to Tom, then I did a whole new one and after all that, I realized that the other one was promoted to the max so I deleted that one. I didn't have anyone to keep telling me so I redid the whole thing and this morning it was fine. So letting it sit was a good idea.
Thank you so very much tho, for this wonderful review and your lovely comments, and six stars too. It really was a challenge so hope you know how much it means to me. Thank you again, my beautiful friend.
With love, Debi
-
Debi, it was my extreme pleasure!! Ask me anytime.
So, did you lose all the money you had put on the original post? I hope not!!! If so, I'd ask Tom if it could be added to the new one. It's worth a shot.
-
LOL, I should have been more clear when I was talking about both posts. I deleted the second one because there was no way I would promote two. But then I redid the original too, so I spent hours on it. I think I finally went to bed about 2.
Glen always says I am the most confusing talker. LOL
-
You know, I love it!! I've found someone who talks as much as I do!!
Thanks for clarifying. I don't even know what time I went to bed, but it was around 1:00, I think. It was before you reposted...sorry...love you!!!

Check your messenger for a fast three line poem on this subject. LOL..

Just read it, lol. I guess I went to sleep before you did last night, lol!
Comment from BethShelby
I loved all the word play in this poem. I would think writing this my not have been eassy. It is had to get two words in every sentence that sound the same but have different meanings. Nicely done.

Comment from Shanbreen
Debi, you possess an amazing skill to write a poem with homophones, homonyms and homographs in each line. I had no idea of what homophones, etc. meant. Thank you for the explanation. Love the story you tell in the poem. It must have taken you a long time to write. Well done Debi.
Love the painting, too.

Comment from Begin Again
A good story in your poem, DEbi, but you lost me completely when it came to understanding the rules and how it is written. Poetry is becoming to difficult and demanding for me. I'll just read and enjoy instead.

Oh, hon, I am so sorry about the confusion. Actually I made this up on my own and it was a big challenge, but those are always the most fun.
So after I read your review, I took the descriptions from the top of my authors notes and put them on the bottom where people didn't feel they there were any rules. It was mostly about using two different words in each sentence that was spelled the same and meant different, like date and date. Or two words that were spelled different but sounded the same, like red and read.
Anyway thanks tho for the kind but honest review as it meant a lot to me, just as you do. Hugs!
Love, Debi
