Debi, I give you a six for your poem's originality. You gave a whole bunch of kudos to a lot of fans tory members. Not only was this poem a pleasure
to read, but it shows the versatility in your writing. Very good, my friend.
Good luck, you should do very well in the contest. I will be patiently
waiting for the outcome.

It's just been fun but kinda sad that we have to pick from so many lovely people. In about a month I think it will have to be at least one more as I already have my poems made for at least one more. Thank you Mary, for always such lovely words and kind review. I so appreciate it!

I am so glad you entered it John, and as soon as I get done here I will read yours. I am so excited! I hope you have your eyes open for being mentioned in at least one that I know of. You are such a great friend John, and I thank you for not just this review but all the other wonderful ones and the kind words that always are included. So appreciated my dear friend!
Comment from GARY MACLEAN
Whew, I knew you had a lot of friends on FS but you really hit the jackpot here didn't you.
2nd Stanza, 2nd Line: (brand new) should be (brand-new) hyphen
3rd Stanza, 1st Line: SUGGEST (nor) instead of (or)
6th Stanza, 1st Line: Add comma after (writer)
6th Stanza, 2nd Line: (picture) should be (picture's)
7th Stanza, 2nd Line: (every one) should be (everyone)
9th Stanza, 1st Line: (rank) should be (ranked)
15th Stanza, 2nd Line: (Return) should be (return)
Simple fixes won't take you but a minute.
Great rhymes, I don't know a single one, but they are all great.

Wow Mr Eagle Eye, that is quite the list and I am right on it as soon as I am done here. Truthfully, I appreciate the feedback and you may think you don't know any, but when I tell you that the 15th stanza Return is capitalized on purpose, you might know who that one is. Thank you for the very kind review Gary, and I always appreciate your help! I wish I could have used a few friends twice, you included.
-
I thought "Return" might have been on purpose, but I'm so dense it doesn't really help me guess who. LOL But, I did hesitate on that one. Oh, I'm going to work on them, see what I can come up with, but I have zero answers I feel 100% positive in right now.
You did a great job.
-
Well I was just coming to find you to tell you that not all of my edits saved, so I just went and tried again. But I guess the new law in writing is that when there is a connecting word like and or but, then you're not supposed to use commas anymore. I've been corrected on it numerous times but old habits die hard. So much has changed so I think I rewired my brain and forgot to remember what I used to know then and what I think l know now, Y'know?
Confused yet? hehe
-
I have a really good clue for you. Go on the welcome page and look for my poem and then looked to the right of it.
-
Comma rules are so messed up, you almost have to go by how it sounds to yourself when you read it back. That's what I depend on mostly.
-
'I don't know if that theory would work some people
I know. They better NOT change grammar too because am a stickler on grammar.
Comment from LateBloomer
Hi Debi, I can't wait to see all the FS members that you have put the spotlight on. Your poem reads and flows well, and I can feel the love and connection that you have between each and every person you selected.
I can't wait to see who this mystery man might be:
He is the very first dear friend, I met here on this site
He fanned me right away, before I even planned to write
(His spirit, and people like him, are truly the heart and soul of FS
which is a wonderful place.)
Well chosen artwork. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing, and keep on doing what you do. Xo. Margaret ~ LateBloomer

Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
This one was really special-all the comments showing your own heart, while revealing how much people really care for you. The rhythm and rhyme were good, and I recognized several. You are special!

Oh Verna thank you so much for the very lovely review and words.
I appreciate so much your gracious six stars, as I do you.
Hint: the one that may or not be you, I changed because it was a near rhyme. So you may want to see how I changed it, but lol, I expect to be graded as it's not a real sentence. But it did come from the heart.
Thank you again my very dear friend!

Beautiful! Thank you!
Comment from Sally Law
This is even more difficult as many are alike. I spotted Teri7, Wendy, Sandra Mitchell, and John C. Forgive me, I don't have my cheat sheet for spelling with me at present. Another beautiful poem of the many that love you.
Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest,

Sally, I wish I could have included you and a few others again this time. You are such a special friend Sweetheart and I have a surprise for you and that is why you haven't gotten my private review of the first book. That's all I can say, but as long as we are chatting, could you private message me your address. I was so excited when I got your books that I didn't copy it down if it was on there. Thanks so much for your kind words as you are so sweet!

Thank you for your sweetness and kind offer. I will fan mail you my address today. XOs

Debi,
A brilliant poem entry for the Surprise FanStory Friends -Part 2
entry contest. You have many FanStory friends and your poems beautifully honors all of them.
note: missing rhyme
She was an English teacher and her writing surely shows it
A gracious loving friend, who God has blessed our souls with
note: spelling error
As she writes her Children's books, she'll Return to her (carreer) career
All the best in the contest,
Eugene

Thanks Eugene, and that near rhyme was a hard one for me but I appreciate your feedback. I think I fixed that. And I must have just caught the career typo. You mean there's not three eee's in career? Haha! Thanks for your very kind review my friend and sweet comments too! I hope I get to know you better my friend so you could be next.
Comment from lyenochka
Wow and wow! I was reading along and thinking - I know who that is but then you kept going and I thought, "Well, maybe it could be several people at once?" But I got the reference to you and Jesse as you both have surgeries coming up! ð???ð???
she'll Return to her carreer (return to her career)

Thanks so much Helen! You mean there's not three eee's in career? LOL!
I have a twitchy finger that can really make some doozy mistakes and I don't always catch them when proofreading because I see double from an eye surgery and a few years back I had shingles in the retina of my eye. Hazards of Lupus but could always be worse. On the bright side, every light is brighter!
Thanks Hon for such a sweet review, as I love you so much I wish I could have added you again! 😘

You are doing fabulous considering all that you've been through, Debi! I'm cheering you on! Hugs!! 💖🙏

Comment from karenina
Holy cheese on a cracker, Debi! What's up with this? Twenty writers you've highlighted??? That's the ticket! What was I thinking, stopping at five or six??? This is awesome! Pretty sure I have at least half of them right, but along with the rest, I can't wait for the big reveal!!!
Once again, thank you my friend for presenting Part I of this contest and coming back with a Part II ~ which was just as much fun!
I hope every one of the writers revealed get lots and lots of new readers...
Most of all, I'm glad to be on a site where angels like you spread goodwill!
Six stars for a real star herself!

What am I gonna do with you? You just get sweeter and lovelier every day!
This was such a lovely review and your words so kind. But there were only twenty people Hon. Lol, the last verse was just saying there will be more.
But that's ok, cause I had to count them three times to make sure I had an even twenty. And I am so appreciative of your very generous and kind extra stars my beautiful friend! I went with more because there were still people I wished I had gotten in. However mine got longer lines but only two of them.
I have already changed a few things but hope it's not so long that people won't read it. Thanks my GA for always being a true friend!
-
I corrected my counting error... (Sorry!)
Of course people will read it!!!
Super cool you spotlighted twenty writers!
We reveal after the vote right? Like last time??
I'm going back to read your changes...
Can't get much better than perfect, though!!!

Love you so much❣️

Ditto!
