Comment from Sally Law

Exceptional

Dear Mystery Poet, thank you for the colorful circus poem in my honor! I'm so very touched and pleased. You did a marvelous job in my new circus form! I love everything about it from the vibrant colors of the owl (which my iPad Pro enhances through its retina feature), the font, center formatting, and story within. Yes, this owl has started a new life, and with those she gives a hoot! Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest.
Your friend,
Sal XOs

Oh Sally, you are so very kind. I can't thank you enough for the lovely review and such sweet comments. And yet I wasn't able to capture the flare you have for your beautiful Circus Poems. I still wanted to do my best as I admire your writing so much. I am so very pleased that you enjoyed this and I truly appreciate the gracious six stars, but they are for you as well as me. Thank you my dear friend and since this is in your honor, a win would mean even more.

I am deeply honored and blessed, mystery poet. You did a splendid job on the crazy form and added your own spin to it, a trait of a creative artist. I have it in my bookcase and I will treasure it forever. I voted for this as you might suspect. How could I not? Thank you, again! Sal XOs

Thank you so very much Brandon. Were you in a contest in the last few days? Seems to me I just voted for you yesterday or the day before. I thought your story was great. I thought you had the win.
So I thank you very much for your kind words for my poem and for Sally's style. She is an amazing woman that doesn't let her blindness stand in the way of her talent shining through. She too will appreciate your kindness as much as I do. Thank you again my friend.

I wrote an entry for the "Evil Spirits reported in a specific place" prompt, titled "Hill Town Hell" that may have been it

reply by the author on 08-Oct-2022

Yes, that was the one. I just remembered that it had the words town and hell in it. Good job

reply by Brandon Clark on 08-Oct-2022

Thank you! And thank you very much for your vote, it truly means a great deal to me!

reply by the author on 08-Oct-2022

Yours really was the best and you are very welcome.

Oh, I'll bet Sally loved this! After making me smile with vivid descriptions, you surprised me with the profound message: The world so quickly tires
of beautiful things (many of them).

Oh Janice, you so indeed got the message that I was trying to portray, but also that the owl felt a deep connection with the people and wanted to still please them after they turned their backs on him. A little message of forgiveness too. Lol, all from a silly little owl story. Thank you so much Janice for the lovely words for my circus poem and for Sally. I decided that since it had a little more rhyming than what she would do, maybe it could be a small part of the Circus and be called Merry~go~Rhymes. It would be kind of fun to branch out from her fun style. Thats me talking tho, not Sally. Thanks again my dear friend.

I just love this poem and wish I could give it the six stars it deserves, but I guess I've been reviewing too much this week. It is clever, it is beautifully presented, and it seems like such a great response to the prompt. The picture is a knockout! I love everything here. Best of luck in the contest. I don't doubt this will do very well. MM

I always think that to pay tribute to someone, to use one's gift to encourage, to discern in the positive on someone's behalf is one of the greatest tribute and gifts one can give a much loved fellow human. Beautifully writren my friend, blessings Roy

Thank you for sharing this beautifully written contest entry for Sally. She's an amazing lady who I happen to be a fan of. Not only is she a good author but she's a Christian who lives her faith daily. Good luck with the contest.
