Aren't you the very clever one. I am willing to bet that Terry is smiling very broadly with this most excellent tribute. Your words of praise are on point, totally appropriate and very well deserved. How very Terry of you.

Debi,
I like your creative tribute to Terry and the unique phrase you invented to honor him.

Your photo, and your whole presentation, are great.

Congratulations on being number six in the poet rankings!

I assume you are better? I hope you have a nice Christmas and a great 2023.
Keep writing!
Blessings,
Cindy

    Cindy, Thank you so much your very kind words for Terry's poem, and I know he too will appreciate all your thoughtful words. Yes, I am doing better every week and back on track to walk by New Years. I was able to walk with a Walker, now have graduated to two special canes and PT is working on steps alone now, of course only under their supervision.
    Thanks again my dear friend!

This is an inventive and fun poem to praise a fellow Fanstorian called Terry Broxson. I have reviewed some of his posts here and I didn't know he came from Texas. I expect the whole world begins and ends in America Debi, I wonder who invented this kindness map? You made me smile with your new phrase, love Dolly x

I am not sure exactly why I am giving this poem a six -- is it the content or is it the promotion. I am not sure. I know Terry and have been the recipient of many of his kindnesses and your recognition of those kindness deserve a six in and of itself. Then there is the creativity and the pleasant presentation. The rhythm, the illustration, just everything make this a 6 post. Great job, Debi, and I am so pleased to see you honor Terry with the honor of your talent. ann

This is a special tribute, Debi; well-written and so Terry kind of you. This is a fun and clever hook that makes an excellent refrain for your poem.

Though we've exchanged pleasantries in a few reviews, I've never really connected with Terry or "poked around" in his portfolio. But now I will make a point to do so. Thanks!

Debi, I am honored you chose to write about me. I had to double check and see if you posted it as fiction, because I frankly didn't think you had a lot to work with considering who selected to write about.

But then it did occur to me, and you did prove once again that you are one of the most creative writers and contest creators on site. I would suggest that thought is supported by the large following of people who love your work.

I thought the word play and presentation was exceptional, the subject is still a work in progress. Thank you! Terry.

    I am so glad you decided to review this. I know how humble you are are and love your remark about fictional. The reviews have been great from everyone except Frank, but I wrote him a nice long message but deleted it. It did feel good to write. I appreciate you being so great about, as I do know how hard it can be to accept praise. But just wanted you to know that we are already have a status rating which is great for the first day. We are #3.
    So I am going to go check it out soon. Also are you reading the reviews. I have had many say it was so Terry nice of me to write. Catchy phrase and it now has r a song. Thanks so much for the kind words for your poem. And for the six lone stars! Thanks again.

Great Job on this, Debi, a perfect entry for the contest. You have written a great tribute to Terry. I just finished reading his Christmas story, and it is superb, I like the phrase you used, "that's so Terry kind of you."

Your heart must've spent some time in Texas, Debi,
because it is BIG! I enjoyed your fantastic card entry
for Terry. You did an awesome job sharing your thoughts
about him. I loved the play on words 'that's so Terry kind
of you.' He's an excellent storyteller. In addition, he
genuinely cares about members as evidenced by his support
in various was that's so Terry kind. I agreed with you about
the different genres Terry categorizes his work. He's a competent
reviewer and friend--as you are. Great font and image to pair
with your well thought out words.
Thank you for writing this card for him even if no contest existed.
Best wishes in the contest, Jan

This beautiful poem is thoughtful, kind, creative, and very true. I have enjoyed almost all of Terry's posts, and appreciate his reviews of my work. He is very generous with gifting pumps to fellow FS family members, and has been a tremendous asset to this website. I'm not a poet, but am glad poets like you can put into rhymes, feelings we all share. Thank you Debi. You are also an asset to the site.

Note:
Do you know a person, who could not be any kinder (Do you mean "who COULD be any kinder)? Many people are NOT kinder.

This is a wonderful tribute poem To Terry. The text is a good size, and the message is on point. Terry has a generous spirit. He is a diplomat. He never gets involved in anything but the uplifting of another. He learned early that old Southern mom's saying, "If you don't have something good to say; don't say anything at all". He has a quirky abut witty sense of humor too. I respect and like him. The visual fits well. Good luck in the contest.
