Nice artwork and presentation, Debi, plus the notes and videos. A great tribute with effective imagery and rhyme. You do a good job with background information about family and interests.
Thanks for sharing; you always do a good job with these special poems.

Congratulations on the Fiftieth milestone wedding anniversary, Steve. Hope you're planning something special. Happy Birthday, too. I am two years before you. I think it's great that you are pursuing new creative avenues. I think it makes a difference in how we see things and how we feel. It's always good to see you on FanStory, too.

Kia Ora my friend. I have seen in person the photo of New Zealand. It is the most beautiful country, one could think they were in Europe. I'm sure he will enjoy your belated birthday wishes. You are so inspired to write these beautiful birthday wishes. K xx

Hi, Debi! Another beautiful birthday message. I try not to repeat myself when I tell you you live on a birthday calendar, lol.

These are always so special. Even if you don't know the person, the writing is addicting! Happy Belated, Steve!

What a cute and clever birthday wish to Kiwisteveth, a fellow fanstorian whom I remember, and is also a fellow baby boomer. I'll tip a glass to him too. A fine biographical poem as well.

You creatively packed a lot of information about Steve in your Belated Kiwi Birthday poem. It is always good to know our fellow writers on the site. My congrats go to him for celebrating his Golden Anniversary. Thank you Debi for introducing a former Writer of the Year.

Happy belated birthday Steve. I wish you many more happy and successful years.

I went back and read your last verse and looked at Steve's YouTube videos. Reading poetry with pictures is an interesting idea. People here are sooo creative.
