Happy Birthday to Mel! What an auspicious day for her birthday. On Mayday we give out lilies of the valley to our loved ladies, for good luck. You have painted in your twelve lines a very clear picture of Mel. Thanks.

    Oh Katherine, that is so awesome what you said about the Lilies of theValley flowers. Those are Mel's favorite! She had them in her wedding to my son, has them in her yard and planted them on both sides of the creek that separates our two yards, brought together by a lovely bridge that my son built, so the boys could come to grandmas house safely.
    You are so very kind and I will pass on your birthday wishes to Mel and tell her the story of the flowers.

Your did a great job with your contest entry, Debi. I enjoyed the monorhyme and the heartfelt tribute to Mel. Your words are
smooth and are filled with great imagery. The picture of you
and Mel is awesome. I pray her day was exceptional--like she is.
Best wishes, Jan

What a very pretty twosome you make, it's really nice when your child marries skmeone, who embraces your family like my sons in law, it is the best, I loved this quirky well rhymed inventively language rich, well done, May Day is big in my birth place, but not here. So happy May Day Debi, Blessings Roy

    Roy, you are so very kind. Thank you for the lovely review and comments.
    Your review gave me comfort, as I was frantic last night when
    I lost the poem while editing and I hadn't saved it. That's an awful feeling when you know people are reviewing your mess and you can't throw together a new one fast enough. So I truly appreciate your kind words!
    As always, thank you my friend. Debi

    You will be able to write at will later Debi, when it becomes part of you.
reply by the author on 30-Apr-2022
    Actually that's exactly what I did, but was just frantic for a short time knowing that people were seeing what the mess. I had had anesthesia yesterday and had no right posting anything while my mind wasn't all there. I thank you again Roy!

    Thanks Sandra, lol, especially for thinking we were sisters. Mel is actually my daughter in-law, but I purposely scratched the in-law out.
    I do truly appreciate your delightful review and comments, and your vote of confidence of my silly poem. I was worried that it might not work this time, so I can't thank you enough.

    Of course!! I bet you thought, #what a dumbo!! Lol! Actually, it's really nice that you are close to your daughter-in-law. I am with one of mine. I have 5 of them! I'm quite close to them all, but with one, I can open my heart to, and she does with me.
reply by the author on 30-Apr-2022
    Wow, you are an awesome mother in-law! Lol,I love having one, but 5 would make it hard trying to keep track of who you said what to. jk
reply by the author on 30-Apr-2022
    Lol, no I didn't think that you were a dumbo, but I do call myself a dumb blonde sometimes when I make my many mistakes : )

I happen to enjoy reading fun and silly poems. This one made me happy, as I'm sure it did Mel. I do understand having raised four boys. Us boy mom's do need special female days. Thank you for sharing this writing prompt with us.

    Thanks Barb, lol, you seem like an all boy type of a great mom. Actually they have two boys, named Andrew and Carter (Goober), but adding my son, Jason, is like having three boys, as they do have fun together.

The joy and love of this relationship shines. The personalized "CornyCard" provides sweet charm. Saying the thing, memorializing it for a May birthday, rings of a certain bravery that comes with the understanding that life is fleeting. Don't wait to tell those you love how much they mean. I love the lines through in law!

What a sweet ode to your daughter-in-law - and happy birthday, Mel! I loved the way you crossed out "in-law" - that says a lot about your relationship with her. A great poem for May Day, which rings in special things in your family.
