Steve's latest foray into reciting his poetry with AI generated images, on YouTube is fascinating!
He's provided the YouTube link on the Forum.
This would be a great place to plug his new endeavor and encourage fellow FS members to go, experience it, and SUBSCRIBE!
I did...
Steve's very talented and always good hearted in his comments.
I think we all know more about him now!
You are the fairy godmother of birthday poems, for sure!
Very nice poem.

Hello my special K, I appreciate you taking the extra time to try to get the videos and links to help make this accessible to others. So since you read it, I have added a stanza telling about Steve's YouTube channel with links and two videos you may be interested in.
So thanks so very much for the awesome comments for Steve and his poem. I know that he, too, has been enjoying all the birthday wishes.
Thank you again, my dear friend. Debi

So glad you located those links! He's very clever and I've enjoyed subscribing to his YouTube poetry "channel"---
Now he should scurry on over and review his own birthday poem!
Men seem always to be late to the party...LOL!
Comment from Dawn Munro
I don't think I am going to want to miss any of these birthday cards you write, my friend -- I have known Steve for many years. He is a fabulous poet, and his wife is a wonderful artist, often illustrating for him.
Your poem is amazing, filling in details I did not know!

Loved that you gave tribute to Steve! I have one of his books and I hope he will write more about his time in Singapore. He recently started a YouTube channel and I wonder if you could add one of his videos in your post. If you look at my review of his post, he replied with three of his videos. I can't put his links in this review but you probably attach the link like you did the music videos.

Hi Helen, I would love to but do you know if his has an embedded code.?
I don't know how to use links but I will try.. His latest post? I will look. K?
I found the Iinks and I wish I know to do it without the embed code
-
You can do the embed code with his videos, just like you do with the music. Thanks!
-
OK, do you put them in those boxes above your editing, s
I will try
-
Are these actually on YouTube so I can go on and get the code? I'm sorry, I am little dense tonight. I will try that. Thanks.
-
Yes, anyone with a Gmail account automatically can create their own YouTube channel. 😊
-
Got it. Check it out.
-
I only saw links. It wasn't registering to me that he actually had the YouTube videos. DUH! LOL.. but then I have been half sleeping thru it all.
-
I did put those links from your review on his poem. Sorry for being so out of it.
I have had so much on my mind lately.
-
You have good reason to have a full mind!! I'm glad you were able to put in the link. That's great!

Late is almost always better than never. If you are ever seemingly overlooked, your reservations overbooked. Take a short pause, consider what may have been the cause. If you are in expectation of having a glass raised, from dearest Debi, you will be wonderfully praised.

Hey there Nomi, you are right that late is better than never, except death. Ouch, did I say that? LOL...LOVE your sweet poem, bro!

Happy birthday, Steve! Thank you, Debi!
Once more, you take us down a lane where we get to learn more about a member of our FanStory tribe! You took us on a tour of his history here, family life, and two of his favorite songs. Mine, too.
Much love,
Rhonda

Hi Rhonda, thanks so very much for the awesome comments for Steve and his poem. I know that he, too, has been enjoying all the birthday wishes.
Those songs that he picked out amazed me because they were two of my favorites too. And not surprised that they would be yours too, as we are almost like sisters.

Okay, thanks, Debi, I'll check it out.
I tried to send you two videos yesterday, but they didn't go through!! Grrr, I'll try again.

A nice birthday poem for kiwisteveh. I'm glad to learn a bit more about his life and that he and his wife are celebrating an anniversary milestone. You've included some great music with your lovely poem. Blessings. Carol

Hi Carol, thanks so very much for the awesome comments for Steve and his poem. I know that he, too, has been enjoying all the birthday wishes.
My husband, Glen and I are celebrating ours too. Funny how everyone thinks they are so in love when they get married. But the truth is after fifty years, if you make it, you have been thru it all, just like you and your husband so we know. Right? Speaking of how is he doing? How are you doing?

Congrats on your anniversary! Is it your 50th? Yes, you two have been through a lot together, as have we.
Mitch seems to be doing well, but not sleeping well yet. He's glad to be at home, and he's starting to do things for himself, as he gains more mobility and strength. Blessings & congrats!
Comment from Jeano
Here you are nice lady once again celebrating someone's birthday, even a little late it's still so special. Hope you're feeling better and getting that blood pressure down where it belongs.

Hi Debi, Steve is a great writer. He has contributed so much to FS.
Your birthday greeting to him is beautifully penned, and I am sure that
Steve and his family will love it. Of note:
2014 Author of the Year; remember when
He is a published author: magazines, poetry books
His fun Cheezel the Weasel and also Gobbledegooks
(Amazing history)
Also:
and they love her mega tons
(Q. her or him?)
Gorgeous photo choice. Good rhyming. A pleasure to read. This poem is a beautiful ode to Steve. Well done. There's nothing left to say,
except ... Happy Birthday, Steve! Margaret ~ LateBloomer

Hey my sweet sis, you asked if it was him or her, it was his granddaughter, so I had it right with her. Or was that a trick question? LOL. Just teasing you.
But thanks so very much for the awesome comments for Steve and his poem. I know that he, too, has been enjoying all the birthday wishes.

I did look at Steve's YouTube Channel, and it was awesome. I wasn't sure about the she/he because I wasn't sure if "I" was following the thought correctly...did you follow that. A senior moment. Lol. A fun poem. Xo. M
Comment from CrystieCookie999
I bet the father of Cheezel the Weasel will love this poem! You did a great job fitting in biographical information and rhymes at the same time. The only little suggestion I had was on the last line:
We think you're great, sorry it's late, a Happy Birthday Steve
I would put a comma after Birthday.

Wow, you are so good at writing birthday greeting poems.... you really give it your all. It's very kind and generous of you.
I don't know Steve. We may have reviewed each other a few times. Thank you for the information and music.
