Hey Debi, I really enjoyed reading how you take the lives of your fellow FanStoryians and memorialize their work, through your work. You have introduced me and many others to authors in ways that we would never know if not for your kindness and your creative linguistic abilities! Embrace the love from above.

Now here is a man, who has been like a big brother to me from almost the first day I met him. You will really like Nomi and I hope you get to know him too. He is also a man of the Lord, and so thankful for ones like you and him in my life. Thanks again for all the lovely stars and mostly the ones you light His way with. Thanks sweet bro.

As I have the opportunity I will certainly connect with Nomi. You're welcome my sister, for the well-deserved stars. Just so busy these days.

What a fun poem for Nomi's 80th birthday! I like the repeated line in each stanza, which emphasizes his goodness. Great rhymes and good rhythm throughout. Thanks for sharing. Blessings. Carol

This was a lovely tribute. The repetition worked well. I loved this line, "He's kinder than kind, but he's strong as concrete." It's descriptive, playful, and meaningful. This was well-written.

Ah, Debi, this is such a wonderful tribute to Nomi. He indeed sounds like as good a man as you'll ever meet. I really enjoy these tributes you write for folks here on FanStory. I'm still fairly new here, having only joined in November, and it's nice to get to know people through your poetry.

As nice as you are, I would consider you as good a woman as I'll ever meet. Jim

I am so behind on all you just mentioned, even worse I am behind on staying in touch with friends. I wonder now why I thought it was a good idea to try to get into prose, along with poetry. Too late now, tho I have been bitten and it is now too late to turn back. Lol... miss ya, so that is why I grabbed you fast to thank you. I try to at least read the reviews right away in case there is something that needs to be replied to, such as this one. You might have even noticed that I haven't been getting to you late at night, so much to tell you. So thank you Helen for grabbing and reviewing this one for Nomi, and for doing the monthly ones. I thought I could help out more w them, but that is before so much happened here. I was just happy to get to chat for a few. Love ya! And thanks

What a delightful tribute to a special man. I love the repetition of the last line in each stanza, most of all because for all that you wrote about him, it must be true.

This happy poem with its jaunty beat is a wonderful tribute to a man who is obviously well-loved. I am sure he was thrilled by this very personal tribute. Well done Debi!
