You honored your friend with a touching poem, showing her strengths and praising her for who she is. As a devoted friend, it's easy to tell that her decision to leave will affect you tremendously. Sounds like you had a great relationship.

This is a lovely tribute poem to karenina for March's women's month. I like the multiple use of 'the apple of her/our/your eye', it works very well. Nicely said Debi.
Cheers

A lovely tribute to our friend Karenina. March's Women's Month is also a great time to pay tribute to strong women that come into our lives and make them better just by being who they are.

Blessings
Janet

Bless you for putting the fine attributes of Karenina into a poem. I love the repetition of 'the apple of ___ eye with the changing on one word. Also, a good metaphor with her posting as a butterfly.

Your tribute to Karenina was awesome, Debi. I liked everything
about it. The image with her name in the middle of the awesome
tree was perfect as was the color scheme. I liked the monorhyme
within each verse. Those verses said so much truth about her as a
sweet, kind lady who always thought of others before herself. I liked
how each used the phrase 'apple of someone's eye. That did a great
job of tying the verses together and showed her influence to all.
However, your message about Karenina's heart and soul stood
out.
Thanks for sharing and caring, Jan

Hey Sweetie, I didn't forget you but have a problem with falling behind when I try to write so much. As if I have to tell you about that, huh? I think after these surgeries I should at least double my speed of responding. Or maybe write shorter thank you's. Lol... So thanks so much for such a kind review and comments for this poem that is about you and every other lovely woman here. I truly appreciate you my sweet friend.

Thank you for this wonderful tribute to our Karenina and yes, we'd cry if she doesn't return. We can hope she'll be like a butterfly and keep checking back in. I think you were referring to Terry as that "guy" ? You and Sally are way ahead of me - I'm still in the thought process of writing.

other's will join me when I cry (others)

Hi Sweetie, you are so perceptive. Yes the guy is Terry. I pulled another all nighter to get this out. Only because I wrote it as if she was leaving, per; her farewell. But then after going back and forth trying to figure some other options out for her with Terry, I changed it so that it would also be a tribute for Women's History Month, and for the chance that she may not leave us for good. I didn't want to be the one to give anyone anyone any wrong info in case we could talk her out of it. She is well worth it and hope it can still work out that she can pop in and out. Thanks for your awesome review and comments. You also mean the world to me. But I think you already know that.

💖💖 I got Terry's email and so hoping we can help to keep her portfolio protected.

reply by the author on 14-Mar-2023

Leave it up to Terry it come up with a plan that others may want to help too. I was going to do the premier shield myself, but when I got it, at least it came with $100. of MC Pumps and that is not the case anymore. Then I received a notice that my membership was due too, so maybe this way she can get enough to do a few posts too if she wants, if nothing else she should certainly know how loved she is. Yet I think she knows that already.

Great tribute to Karenina! The author's words define the woman Karenina
is well! I found these words to express, admiration, kindness, strength,
caring and friendship. Thank you for the author's notes - honoring Karenina this month is perfect! The artwork goes well with the theme,
words and lay out of this poem. Great Poem, Debi!
