Excellent

Good morning, Mystery Writer,
You have written a well-crafted Even the Odds poetic offering about Rachelle. I particularly appreciate these two phrases you have used to characterize her: "...spicy spirit" and "emphatic understanding."
The fact that Rachelle's last name is "Allen," pairs well with your beginning synonym of "Ally" as well! :)

Thank you for sharing!
Best Wishes!

New Yorkers are full of passion and......hmmmm.....character.

This was very uniquely down with quirky words that generated a wonderful theme. Well done, my friend. A six for me, all day long!

Your post highlights the things about your friend that you find appealing. It's easy read allows one to take in the depth of the person that you've revealed.

This has a clever synonym using the girls name that is also identical in meaning to another word for friend. A friend made through joining FanStory too and the whole presentation backed up with a collage of photographs of the lady in question. Great idea.

Nice tribute to a lady who is apparently a good friend, managing to fit your words into this slightly restrictive format. Did you take a liberty, do you think, by using Rachell and friend as the synonyms??

Anyway, good luck in the contest.

You are correct. I took that chance and got rebuffed by the CEC. Thanks for your review.

This is a very well written Even the Odds poem you have penned about a family member. You used very good descriptive words and very lovely imagery from the picture you used. Best wishes in the contest. Teri
