I read I.raven, but I haven't seen her posts for a while. I am wondering why, now I think about it. Hmm, I need to check this out. Oh well, that has nothing to do with this wonderfully written birthday tribute to her. I enjoyed reading and will surely wish her a Happy Birthday.

Debi, the first thing that grabs the reader is the stunning picture you used. I think your choice of artwork for your work is as much a trademark as your writing. This is a well-written tribute to your friend. I had this strange thought, you write so well about your friends. I started to wonder about what you might write about someone you don't like...okay, I suspect there are not a lot of those. Excellent work. Terry.

Terry, I thank you with all my heart for this great review and kind words for Linda's poem. I also appreciate such kind words for my chosen art, yet wish I had one of my granddaughter's to use each time. You are so sweet and I appreciate you so very much, my dear friend.

I remember l.raven from way back. It's funny how the names and memories pop into my head. I still remember when Dean Kuch was a newbie. So many people have touched me on this site either with their work or their thoughtful reviews. This was a lovely and lively poem for her birthday. Gretchen

Invokes the love that one feels for a dear friend. A great poem to use in a card because it has a beautiful rhythm and also brings out wonderful traits and memories of the friend.

But within the guidelines, could you please let me know what you think that I could improve on. I appreciate it when ever given a lower than normal rating as it does affect our scores. Thank you again dear friend!

I like that she has a large heart and her writing is like musical. She is friendly and caring. I will have to check her, L.Raven out. I like her pen name, too.

Well done

What a great birthday gift! I have not been very active, so I need to reacquaint myself with our members. Linda sounds lovely and lively. I will look up both of you! Thanks for sharing. elaine

This is a beautifully written tribute to what sounds like a wonderful friend and writer. How sweet that you thought enough of her to do this. Your piece has a great flow, and that artwork is absolutely amazing! Happy Birthday, Linda. Hope it was a good one.

Hi Monica, I can see why you are also friends with Linda, because you too are one of the sweetest women on the site. In fact I have been meaning to ask when it is your birthday?

I thank you with all my heart for this lovely review and kind words for Linda's poem. And also for the gracious gift of six stars! You are so sweet and I appreciate you so very much, my dear friend.

reply by Monica Chaddick on 18-May-2023

Thank you, Debi. You are very sweet, as well. My birthday is November 19, 1970. I will be 53 this year. When is yours?
Also, do you happen do any letter writing to pen pals, or would you like to? I do that and we could exchange addresses, if you are interested. :)

Debi- one of your best for one of THE BEST! Shortly after you posted my lovely poem, Linda stopped by my portfolio and introduced herself. She's about as sweet and sincere as anyone could be and I adored her right away! This poem was so well written, and wonderfully musical. Happy Birthday Linda! Great job my friend!
Xoxoxo

Thank you Sweetie and yes Linda is another sweetheart. She too has so much love to give. Just like you. I bet you missed what I just changed right before I got back to my reviews and was wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a look at the poem and tell me if it don't think it looks a little better. You know how that is when you know something is off, but not quite sure what it is. I so appreciate your kind review and lovely words for Linda's poem. Love and miss you and my adopted grand girls! 😘 Thanks for the honor of the six stars as well dear heart!

Hi Debi.
This nicely rhymed poem jades a lot of alliteration with the l of Linda to describe her and her poems and reviews well. It is yet another well written birthday poem.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great day
Joan
