Excellent birthday poem for Valda. I'm sure she'll love it.

The rhymes and meter are not forced and they flow well.

Debi, well done. I think you did find the perfect picture to go with the poem. I also think the presentation format you chose works very well. Among your other titles, we will henceforth know you as "The Birthday Lady." Terry.

Hi Debi, Bless you for writing for Valda's birthday. She has been a constant fan of mine. Birthdays are very important, the beginning of a new life starting. Numerology tells us their numbers and maybe what's in store. Thanks possum for being a great fanstorian. K xx

What a lovely birthday gift, be it slightly belated, for a fs friend. Do you know, greetings to our antipodean regions are always going to be late even when they're on time??? That's because we are most of a day ahead of you guys. Hence I have to wait an extra day to get my 6 star supply replenished. (sigh). Julie x

Oh no Julie, not the six stars! Tell me it isn't so! Hahaha! Y?know I never thought about that before. It's hard enough waiting an extra hour. But that's how I realized I was late. On our 4-26, she let me know hers was the day before. And so I tried to write something fast but I was so tired out that I just couldn't do it.
You can be sure of one thing, Miss Julie Sunshine, I'll never miss yours!
Mine was a long time ago too dear, so please at least give me the day and month! ?...........Thanks Sweetheart for the awesome review and words!

Okay, and I'll even tell you the year, but don't let strandregs know, because I'm in love with him and he looks about 40.

What a nice birthday poem. Lay-out or format looks professional. Great near-rhyme with suitable/useable. Nice share, and hope she also took a look at it besides. Thanks for sharing.

I am a friend, just like I am of yours, Kerry. Valda has been reviewing me since I got here and this is my way to say thank you for that. It's hard not to review back, but am hopeful after two Jube eye surgeries! Thanks for the great review sweet friend!

nicely done birthday poem. Love it and I liked the format and the cursive script and of course the birthday greetings. It is nice to be remembered on one's birthday.

Thanks so much Jake, I am trying to get a feel for those who want it and those who don't. Lol, haven't heard anyone say no to it yet. I know your birthday is exactly ten days after mine and you are one year younger. Ouch, that was hard to say... hahaha! So if you aren't interested then, please let me know. Or I will get back to you. Thanks for your kind words, my dear friend.
