Does Paul use his real name on Fanstory? If so, I'm afraid I don't know him. However, your poem makes him sound like a lovely man.
You're so kind, always writing poems for other people.
Thanks for sharing.

I felt the sing and learned so much about poet Paul McFarland. Thank you for sharing, Debi, and so beautifully.

Happy Birthday, Paul! I hope you are having a wonderful birthday today, and many more ahead. God bless you richly and abundantly.

A wonderful birthday tribute to Paul McFarland, a fellow FanStorian.

You captured his career, interests and hobbies well, including his publications. He is a very profound writer and really contributed to our site.

I am sure he'll love it Happy birthday, Paul!

Great post Debi. I'm sure Paul is honored by your poem. I enjoy his writing and always take in his reviews to heart (I'm always trying to learn from the best).

This is another fine birthday honor bestowed by you to a fellow writer.

Thank you for sharing these with us!

Debi, Paul is a great person to honor with a birthday poem. I do enjoy his work, and his reviews are always appreciated. You had some old coots for April (but I am proud to be in there with Nomi, and Paul) maybe next month you can find some young ones. Terry.

Goodness gracious, gal, you can write poetry that rhymes and swings. Lucky man, Paul, to receive this sweet birthday poem, honoring who he is. Happy Birthday, Paul.

Enjoyed this Merry-go-Rhyme poem and would have to agree on Paul's great "helping Hand " ability . My writing is better for it. Well done and keep writing.

    No problem. I have been overseas in New Zealand for a holiday. All good.
    Take care.

Just wonderful, Debi. I've always enjoyed getting a review from Paul, and I've admired his work as well. He strikes me as having been a math teacher, and he appears to have had a major career change like I did when I was younger--from golf course superintendent (aka greenskeeper) to computer systems analyst and programmer.

Your delightful merry-go-round poems are a wonderful vehicle for getting to know people here on FanStory. You are a peach! Love, Jim

This is a lovely dedication to this special man expressed in a well-rhymed verse with sincerity at its heart. Swing is definitely present and the whole tone is one of fun, thus fitting the brief. Thanks for sharing, Debbie
