I like this form of poetry. Is the Merry-go-Rhyme your creation? If I get the nerve to try poetry, I may try it. I appreciate the poetic information you provided about Sanku. I'll have to pop over to her profile to read some of her work. Thanks for introducing us to her.

    Lorraine, as always, you are so sweet. I thank you so very much for your lovely review and kind words for my poem for all of my friends hereI am very blessed with family and friends, as I count you as one of those blessings.
    With that being said, would it be ok if I ask when your birthday?. If you gave it to me before, it somehow didn't make it to my birthday folder.
    Yes, the Merry~go~Rhyme is mine, because I always thought it reminded me of having fun. And there is nothing more fun than building another one up with caring on their birthday. I wish I could show you a picture that my granddaughter sketched for it.,,,,, thanks again..awesomme
    Thanks again, my dear friend.

    Hi, Dear Debi,
    My birthday is July 13. If you get a chance to read "Lies We Tell Children" in my portfolio, I tell the story about my young daughter when she found out about bad luck on Friday the 13th. Thank you for asking about my birthday.

Santha was born on Cinco de Mayo! Well, that is party time in Mexico and certainly in Texas, so I will raise one in her honor. Debi, your birthday tributes shine a light of fun for everyone. Well done. Terry.

    After reading your review yesterday, we went out to eat last night and I had to have Mexican. I had the best margarita I have ever had. Thanks for the idea!

This is another lovely merry-go-round birtday poem. You get such a great rhythm in these poems Debi. And it was lovely to find out a bit more about Sanku. You do add a bit more birtday cheer, I'm sure Santha would agree. Cheers

Debi,

This is an excellent tribute Merry~go~Rhyme poem honoring your friend Santha's birthday. One thing I've valued and appreciated here on Fanstory is the wealth of talented writers and poets from whom I am privileged to learn.

I've never heard of, read or seen a Merry~go~Rhyme poem before. Thank you for introducing me to a new poetry form.

All the best,

Eugene

    Thanks so much Eugene. I appreciate your very kind words for this poem for Santha, as she has been a kind reviewer for quite sometime. She was here long before me, so I am thankful that I get to know so many friends like her and like you.
    My Merry~go~Rhymes are one of my own inventions. They are perfect for those kinds of poems that are breezy and fun to do. The middle can be anything you want, as long as they have rhyme.

    Anyway, thank you again for the lovely and kind review my friend.

So guide me Obi-wan. Sanku is a form f poetry, but was she actually a person or am I just reading too much into this.

I have to be an over thinker Debi, just to keep up with the rest of you.

Thanks
D

    Haha! Hi there dear friend. I have missed you. Ok, Sanku is our fellow author. Her real name is Santha. Not Santa, like autocorrect would have you believe. And the Merry~go~Rhymes is a poem type that I made up to have more fun w some posts. Feel free to try one. Lol.. Thanks for the fun review.
    I know what you mean about overthinking. I have had to train myself to no longer do that.

    Ahhh okay that makes sense. Trying to keep up with the big dogs!
