Joan, you are so sweet. You are one of the people that I first became friends with here, so you are so special to me. And I love now that we only live like an hour away from each other. How cool is that?
I thank you so very much for your lovely review and kind words for my poem. It's so appreciated, my dear friend!

Yes, it is good that we live so close. I always wanted to meet all the people whose work I?ve reviewed and review mine. I think maybe a Zomm or other online meeting app. It is the same nay way people Fromm all over the world can meet.

Thank you, Debi, and a very happy New Year to you, too. I'm not making any new year resolutions, they never last. But I'll change a few things I do that isn't healthy! I really enjoyed reading your poem for this contest, it was thoughtful and sweet. I hope you had a great Christmas, my friend. Good luck in this contest! :)) Sandra xx

Cindy, you are so sweet. I am so sorry for the late thank you, but my eye specialists are restricting how much time I'm on my computer or iPad for a while. I thank you so very much for your lovely review, kind words and gracious six stars for my poem. It's so appreciated, my dear friend!

You?re welcome, Debi.
Comment from Liz O'Neill
We do have a sincere bunch here, don't we?
"For honesty and not pretense" A strong appropriate simile: "More exquisite than a six star meal" May your New Year take a different shape.

Thank you for your expression of appteciation. It's too bad you don't have a chromebook for your computer. My cat helped me to discover a part that reads stories. I can't do what my friend can, to say stuff & the computer types it. With this I can use it to proof read my chapters. So every time my cat sat on my computer keys, a voice would come on. After further investigation, I have learned how to use it.

Yes, I have that on my iPad, but my problem is that I start talking and then need to change something and it ends up a mess. Punctuation, words, you name it. I just have to learn to pace myself. Y'know, with my new legs, I can only be on them for short periods of time too. Yes Liz, I am walking!!!
So you know how I like to look on the bright side. So I sit for a little bit, then before everything becomes a blurr, I get up and do a few things and before I fall, I sit back dow, and my eyes had a little rest. Lol! Hey it works somewhat! But I love your story about every time the cat comes and sits down on your computer... You always crack me up. Thanks Sweetie for the hint. I was going to try to be funny right back and say, but I don't have a cat. hehe!

A sweet greeting for all the writers on FS. I like that all four lines of the stanza rhyme. I also like the references to writers' varied styles that you included. I hope you have a blessed 2023. Best wishes in the contest.

Happy New Year to you and yours as well! You have natural ability to make things special--more fun and more meaningful than they would be without your touch. You've done it once again and this is proof.

Comment from Karyn2
Oh I love it Debi! A fabulous New Year to you too. Your words are so true, this really is a family here. I love the line "buffet of seasoned writer's skill, you're better than a full meal deal!" I think that pretty well sums up the smorgasbord on offer here each day!! A wonderful poem with superb rhyme and rhythm as always.

You are so lovely Debi! I better not see your eye specialist as I fear my instructions would be similar. I hope you can find ways to write and be creative off screen and pop in when you can. I think I may have to do this too this New Year (partly as a model for my kids!) . Blessings and a very happy new year Debi. Take Care. X
Comment from Mariana Convery
Beautiful job on the ryhming. I actually didn't expect that in the conclusion, thst it was about being safe on New Years from drinking and driving. All the stanzas prior seemed to speak of how much the narrator loves the writing group. You have a tiny error in the first stanza..."My New Year's wish will alway be." You probably meant always. Other than that, cute New Year's poem.

Thank you Mariana, and I appreciate your lovely review and comments.
I caught that always part a while ago, but thank you so much. I love feedback like that. And yes, it definitely was about my feelings for this lovely group of writers. I just through that in, but maybe it changes the mood of it somehow. Thanks. I see it much differently though your eyes. And i love you to the moon and back for being so upfront. Thanks again my sweet friend.
