This is a nicely written poem/tribute. It has a great flow and rhyme scheme. A nice presentation as well. Very nicely done as always Debi. Happy Birthday wishes to Terry.

That's a great birthday gift to a friend, their very own birthday poem. I have done a similarly personal thing with a painting, and it's always been greatly appreciated. Well, they're more like cartoons really, but very personal. Well done, and I like your rhyming pattern too. Julie L x

Top of the line subject matter, love the picture and certainly you have caught Terry's personality in your words. Excellent post. If I could review your poetry style, etc, I would do so -- but my skills in poetry are near nil. I just know if I like it -- I like it. ann

Thanks Ann, I appreciate your kind words.

Debi - Terry alerted me to my having given your post a 4 star rating!!!!! That was certainly unintentional. Just this morning, another fanstorian asked me why I had given her 4 stars!!! Another error. I don't know what happened yesterday, but apparently I was not completely focused my rating when I was doing my review. My apologies. Rating has been updated. Should I ever do that again with your posts, please let me know. My 4 ratings are rare because I tend not to rate something I consider sub-par. When I do give a 4, I try to always explain where I am coming from. Yesterday's mistakes are new for me. ann

Excellent Milestone post and a truly heartfelt Birthday dedication to a very dear friend. The detail and interest contained in such a well-rhymed and fun verse conveys to the reader both a wonderful friendship and an impressive background to this special man. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes, Debbie

Hello Debi,
This is an interesting poetic form. Have you made it up yourself?
I'm not sure I know Terry. Is he on Fanstory?
I have enjoyed reading this and listening to the video as well.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your kind words, my dear friend. Debi
And if you could send your birthdate I would sure appreciate it. I am asking those that I know the best and closest to, as it would be impossible to do everyone.

How lovely, Debi.
I know he was pleased. Does he live where you do? I"m guessing he does.
Nice to know, now, what he looks like.
I believe you are a happy, giving person. Got lots of stars wracked up :)
Good for you. It is a great poem, saying what you wanted to say in good meter and rhyme.

Hi Katharine, I thank you for your kind comments about Terry?s birthday poem. Actually Terry lives in Texas and I live in Minnesota and have never met. He's just been such a good guy and helped and encouraged me to write more prose. I'm so thankful for all of you friends here.

reply by pome lover on 12-Apr-2023

well,how did you get that picture?

reply by the author on 12-Apr-2023

That was actually a picture of his brother, Zoe and himself that he used for a post long ago. So I just cropped his brother out and that's how I got that.
