Your birthday poem was magnificent. You said some nice things, some teasing and some sage advice. Always good to cover all of your bases. Glad to see you back on the writing circuit. Gretchen

    Thank you so much, Gretchen, for your generous review and kind words. Karen is always so kind and takes time to read whatever I write, so I couldn't not enter her contest. LOL I've been gone for over a month, and although I did get to read a little while I was gone, I missed a lot. I'm happy to be back and anxious to read your stories with regularity again. Much appreciated!

Way to go Ric. She'll love your thought. I loved the line, "Long as teeth aren't covered in tarter". My thought exactly. I share the same concern as the birthday card. If I have to sneeze, I find a closet or go outside. I wish her a wonderful day and many more. Thanks for sharing it. Stay well.

    Thank you so much, William Lester for your generous review and kind words. I'm with you, I stifle a sneeze until I can get off to myself whenever possible, but on those rare times I can't, it can be embarrassing. LOL. Much appreciated!

    LOL! I feel your pain. You're welcome and have a wonderful day.

I think Karen will love this Birthday poem from you, Ric. I have read a couple so far and I think this is an excellent idea for a contest.
God bless,
Steve

    Thank you so much, Steve, for taking time out for my foolishness. Karen is always so nice and reads everything I post, so I couldn't possible not join her contest. Even though, a poet I'm not. LOL I'm glad to see you made it through the storms and look forward to your coming chapters. Much appreciated!

    My pleasure, Ric. Dang, I took a stab at the contest, but I don't think I know her. Can you tell me who she is, I don't want to offend with my work as it's fiction?

    Karen Cherry Threadgill, from Texas, Sweet as she can be, witty, with a touch of naughty. :-)

    Nice, thank you. I will look her up and review some of her work.

Wow. Great birthday poem for Karen. I think she will get a kick out of it when she has the opportunity to read it.

Great post for the birthday girl. I don't do poetry either so good luck on the voting...

    Hey, John, thank you so much for taking time out to read my feeble effort at poetry. I just couldn't not enter her contest. I never expected many to read it, and could care less about the voting. I just hope it brings a smile to Karen's face that I cared enough to try. Much appreciated!

I think this great. Firstly the image is hilarious and so true ha. What a wonderful tribute poem for your friends birthday isn't she lucky to have a friend like you.
Your opening line is interesting, you're a lovely poet. I find myself saying that too, with the calibre of writing I see on here verses what I produce lol. Sounds like she had a hard time health wise I'm glad she good again! Best wishes to you and Happy Birthday to Karen for August

    Thank you so much, Nicki B, for your generous review and kind words. I'm glad you liked the image, the best part of the post. LOL. I don't often get to read a lot of people other than my regulars, but whenever I get such a nice and sweet review, I'll be looking to for your posts. Much appreciate!

I'm sure she will love it! Great work.
Who says you're not a poet?

Enter this thing in a contest!

Thank you so much. You did good. It is time toilet your goofy side out. I am flush with excitement. I don't give a crap what anyone else thinks. That was my potty humor/ Thanks again. Karen

    I'm sure there will be people who don't like my potty word, and notice I didn't use but one. But with your sense of humor I had to use something a little off color. Or is that line even a little worse? Happy Birthday in advance!

I think you've done a wonderful job writing this contest entry. We have all grown to love Karen and her wit. I'm positive this birthday wish will have her smiling. thank you for sharing it with us and good luck with the contest.

    Thank you so much, Barbara, for your generous words and kind words. I don't care about the contest as I'm sure you already know. Just that I put an entry in her contest. Karen is a sharp and witty gal, and gets a little risky at times. LOL. Therefore, I had to step out on a limb with that ending word. After being gone for over a month, I'm glad to be back and very anxious to start regularly reading your posts again. Much appreciated!

A very nice poem indeed. I didn't realize you even would try poetry. That is very nice of you, Ric. I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
Now, I don't have to worry about you trying to take over the biographical poems, do I? LOL....
Great job and I told you I was going to watch for when you got back to it, so it is good to see you writing again. Love, Debi

    Thank you so much, Debi, for your generous review and kind words. It's been a long five weeks of constant travel, and I can't hardly wait to get back to reading and reviewing regularly. I wrote this poem in about 15 minutes, and I'm sure it sounds like it. It was for the contest, just to let Karen know I cared enough to try. Much appreciate!

    I am not begging for a review, but I write prose so rarely and I have one that is about to expire that is worth $1.08 right now. It is called Anniversary of a Nightmare. I think you would enjoy it. But for sure not asking for a review, as I have plenty, but I know you weren't here to get the notification.
reply by the author on 18-Jul-2024
    I would never want to miss your prose.

This was a grand birthday greeting for Karen. It has the charm of a self-effacing poet attempting the craft in order to laud the sparkling Karen with positive acknowledgments of age. Neat.

    Thank you so much, Bill, for taking time out to read my feeble attempt at poetry. I just didn't want to not take part in her contest since she never fails to read me. Much appreciated!
