Congratulations on your win, Debi. You just edged me out. Really good poem. Glad to hear that you are out of the hospital and feeling better.

Thanks so much Paul and I do appreciate the prayers so much. However I am still in the hospital and not sure when they will release me. I am in ICU at the time and it doesn't seem like anytime soon. Your poem was awesome and am proud to have the opportunity to be a part of a contest with such wonderful talent.
Comment from Mary Nichols
I love your poem. It tells a beautiful story of a friendship across the miles that isn't hindered by distance. I hope that the two of you will meet in person one day, but how wonderful that you can still share so much from so far away!

Oh Mary, thank you so very much. That is the one thing about FS, is if you don't make wonderful friends here, I am not sure where you could. I thank you for the lovely review and such kind words.
Comment from Jay Squires
What a lovely and caring poem. It's so wonderful to find a friendship that spans the miles without ever the two points touching. I must say, Debi, that I expected the final "kicker" to be that both of you are on FanStory. Assuming she's not, have you considered inviting her?
Good luck with your poem. It is so very touching.

Hi Jay, thank you for your sweet review and actually she is a member already. It's no secret that we connected by seeing the similarities as we reviewed each other's work. It seemed every time one would write something the other would say, that's how it was with my family, or whatever and it happened so much that it was uncanny. We figured that we must have been long lost sister, thus sisters of the universe came out of it. Thanks so much for your fun words too, as I love sharing that part as it still blows us away.
However while we are on here, it's all the same as with any of our other lovely friends here that we are close with. As I have been so blessed by so many of you. Thanks again Jay as I truly appreciate your awesome review.

Your words simply ooze sincerity and warmth (I don't know when I've used "ooze" in a positive manner. Wouldn't it be great if Tom pulled out all the stops and bought us each a roundtrip ticket to the "FanStory Mansion" for a whoppin' get-together? He could cook the hotdogs. I'm teasing about Tom. He's so good to all of us.

Jay, the thought of that would outdo any reunion I could ever think of. It ever there were a place where all the family had so much passion for each other, it is here. Kidding or not, what an absolutely lovely idea to ever meet each other all at one time.

lovely poem about finding a true sibling, a true sister of the universe. A powerful poem about friendship and what it all means when we find someone to share our life as a true friend.

Hello Debi a Good day to you. I hope this finds you well. I liked your friendship poem contest entry, I think you executed it well. I was going to write a friendship poem until I remembered I don't have friends. Good job and good luck in the contest.

My DEAR FRIEND, you indeed have one here. Anyone who can make someone who was having a little bit of a blue day and make them laugh the way I just did when I read your review, is pulling my leg and has a sense of humor that is not only worthy of friends, but I am sure they must be beating down your door to hang out with you. I am truly in your debt. Many thanks for the day brightener!!!
Comment from John Ciarmello
This is a great entry, Debi. I love the fact that you call your friend the sister of the universe. I wasn't sure if you were referencing your actual sister; if so, it works as well, if not better. Beautifully written piece. Best, JohnC

Awe John, once again you are so good for my soul. Thank you so much for the lovely review and I appreciate your comments. It is kind of confusing at first, but yes we are actually friends from FS, that after months of reviewing each other we noticed a pattern that our lives were so similar. But thanks again my very dear friend!
Comment from Raul1
This is so very kind of you to write about your friend who is also a writer but with different style of her writing craft. Exceptional work! I am giving a six. Good luck in the contest! Good job!

Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
You write rhyming poems so easily. Well, it appears that way. Your rhyme scheme is on point. Only soul and beautiful aren't exact rhymes, but by golly the rest are. Your font may be read even by old timers like me. Your visual fits well. Good luck in the contest.

You are so much fun Sandra! You see here in MN I think we have a different way of talking where our words may sound different. So I have to be careful that what rhymes to me, may not rhyme to someone else. Does that make any sense? Do you mind me asking where you're from? Of all the accents, I love the southern ones from Tennessee down. I never thought we had one until I heard that a few words didn't rhyme. Believe me, you aren't the first to tell me. Lol!
Thank you for that beautiful compliment! I just have my style from childhood on. And although I love trying new things, I waited so long for the time when I didn't have to be there for everyone else, I thought for the most part I am doing it my way and what I enjoy, Y'know?
I know you aren't as old as me, as I am 67, Your lovely photo looks like you are much younger. ..... Thank you so much for such kind words and as always, for your awesome review! God Bless you my dear friend.

Me again! I just wanted to say that I wish I had looked at your profile before. You are in Virginia? We were just there a few years ago and now I remember that we talked about your awesome town having that wonderful memorial. I just thought of that and sorry about the lapse of memory but it always hits me right after the fact. Lol! And how cool but I too was born in 1954. My birthday is October.
-
Are you a Libra? Linda my best friend from my poem Back Away from the Brink is an October baby too.
-
We are the same age. I am a Southern gal, so you know I am butchering certain words too. LOL It's all good.
-
Yes I am a Libra. If I took the horoscope seriously, they have me pegged as I wear my heart on my sleeve, which makes me an over emotional writer. Lol
-
What day?
-
Mine is the 19th

I must remember.
Comment from LJbutterfly
This poem is full of real sincerity and emotion as you write about a rare and meaningful friendship. It's possible to tell you connect with someone as you read their thoughts, poetry, and stories. It's also possible to form a relevant life-long bond based on writing. You've creatively expressed all of this in your poetry. Best wishes in the Friendship contest.

Thanks again for another lovely review my lovely friend! I have made such wonderful friends here such as yourself, but her and I connected on so many similarities that it was fun to keep finding out more. And you are right, it happens through the writing that these awesome things are discovered.
Thank you again for your very sweet comments!
