Hi,
This is the first time I read you, but I've loved your poem.
I also wrote one for her, but mine is terrible. I just wanted to make her smile.
I love the stanza in which you speak about the thorn and the roses.
Thanks for sharing.
BTW, the picture is super cute.

    Thanks Heather. Right after I read that you also wrote her a poem, I had to review it, as I thought it was fun and a great tribute to her. You do have a knack for poetry even if you didn't think so. I love your sense of humor and I am so happy that we met. Thank you for your kind words, and for this very thoughtful review.

Have a great day, and God bless.

Excellent poetry for an excellent writer. I enjoyed this very much, from beginning to end and especially enjoyed the picture. What a cute cat!!
Why do we not know the date of Helen's birthday? Is it a secret? I'm sure she will enjoy this lovely poem anyway. Thanks so much for writing it. MM

    I can't thank you enough for your very kind review and words for Helen's birthday poem, and of course for Helen. Read her story that she posted tonight and it will tell some of the answers. She got swamped w questions after I posted this,.I did have her permission to use what I knew as I can see she is opening up more. You will enjoy her article immensely .
    One more thing tho missy before you go, lol, thank you from the bottom of of my heart for those shiny stars you gave us. So appreciated my friend!

It is always best to celebrate a birthday of someone whos is still alive as opposed to celebrating the anniversary of their demise. With that having been said, even though I myself no longer celebrate birthdays, I join with you in wishing the celebrated author known to her fans as 'lyenochka' a very happy birthday and many, many more.

    Mr Nolan Miller, is that you? And why are you being so formal with me?
    Wow, you do look amazing, but what did you do with my Nomi?
    I'm just teasing you, except you do look Amazing and in front of that Success background! Did you finish and get your book published?
    Oh I hope so because I want good things to happen for you!
    I do thank you for the nice things you said about Helen. Mine is a week from today. And I will be posting one for you on April 2nd even if you don't celebrate, because I will celebrate you, my dear!

This is a lovely birthday greeting. Helen is someone I love to follow. Not only is she an excellent writer and a helpful reviewer, but also, she has been a good friend to me since I came to FanStory.

What a lovely birthday message for the queen of birthday messages :-). This is accessible poetry, unlike the obfuscated nuttiness I tend to write, and I love that you bring so much clarity to your message of love.

Mike
