Exceptional

Ahhhh ... Debi, you can't imagine how this poem touched my heart and made me feel more special than I ever deserved to feel. ;p You are absolutely the greatest when it comes to getting to the core of a person and making each and every birthday poem so unique and fitting for the individual you are honoring, and I am deeply honored by this beautiful poem and thank you for each carefully chosen word. I want to make a copy and read it to everyone who comes to my door. Well, maybe not everyone. ;D Thank you so much for this, and I'm glad I was finally able to review it. I don't know why I had no box to write in before, but today there was one. I also hope you received my PM thanking you after I finally had a chance to read it. (Unfortunately, I rarely get to my computer these days. Today my son is here and keeping my husband occupied so I could take a minute away.) You are one of the most gifted writers I know. I am so blessed to have this beautiful work from your heart and mind. Thank you

Adonna, you have no idea how much I needed to hear such kind words like that tonight. I appreciate you so much and you know I do look up to you and your talent too. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and my prayers continue for you, your husband and your entire family. And of course the poem is yours to do whatever you want, copy, screenshot and I am sending a link to it in case you would like to send it to anyone to see as we see it here.
God bless, my lovely friend and thank you again. Love, Debi

I'm enjoying your use of similes and metaphors weaving throughout this tribute of a poem. I like the expression of our writing buffet. That is what it is or so many varieties of genres and personalities and talents. We can each wish her a happy birthday.

Thanks also for all the kind words for Miss Merri's birthday poem. I hope she is reading all of these wonderful wishes for her.

Thanks again,, my very dear friend. I cannot wait to do yours next month.

I love going back to the beginning of people's writing and then working
my way forward and I'm going to be curious what you're going to come up with for my birthday. You always do such a good job on those.

This is a lovely birthday poem for Miss Merri. The presentation and the artwork are very pretty. You've included much good information about Adonna and about her writing also. Sorry I'm behind in reviewing this week. Blessings. Carol

Hi Carol, still plucking away at these before I think of doing another one I'd like to finish thanking for the ones I am behind on. Just wanted to know how you are feeling? Any better? I hope so.

Thanks for the kind comments on this one. LOL, you may have been behind on reviewing this one, and I am behind on thanking you for this one, but the one who is most behind is the birthday girl who must have seen it but never responded. So I don't know what to think. I guess I am kinda sad. But I know she too is going through a lot like you and I are.
Thanks again, sweetie!! Love, Debi

I'm feeling much better today; thanks for asking. I hope you are also. I'm sorry you've had no response from the birthday girl. I hope she is ok, and just running behind a bit. Take joy in the fact that you wrote a lovely poem. Have a blessed weekend.

Yes, I am fine, as I am sure there is an explanation.

Wow, a wonderful rhymed poem birthday greeting for Mrs merry. I don't know her well but I have reviewed some of her poems. It's nice to know more.

Thank you very much, Debi.

Thanks Gypsy. I do appreciate your kind words for Miss Merry's poem.. That surprises me for as long as you both have been here that you aren't more familiar, but even after a few years I don't know her as well as I do you and many others. I tease some friends and say I will see them in the hallways of FS maybe by their lockers. Like it was a school house, or tell them to put the coffee pot on if I get a chance to review. LOL. However it easy to feel that attached to some of you, like I can reach right out and touch you.

Sorry, I can be a little sappy at times...... Thanks again my awesome friend for your always sweet reviews and ways. Lotsa love, Debi

Hi, Debi! MM is a star in my eyes, and I've enjoyed her work from the first day I read her. She's elegant in style and graceful poetically.

Happy Happy Birthday, MM, and I wish you many more. Best, JohnC

Debi, a beautiful birthday poem for an excellent poet. I have enjoyed her poetry as well as many others. It makes sense she is also musical. Poetry and music go together. Nice choice of music as well. Terry.
