Through the years, the writers I've met
Are people I will never forget
You've given reviews, constructively criticized,
My poetry has been honestly analyzed

You've given me suggestions on how to improve,
For getting my writing back in the groove
When you point out typos, I go in and edit
For truth and honesty, I give you full credit

I've made some dear friends through this site,
Making dark days happy and bright
Learning new rhyme schemes and styles,
A bridge of love across the miles

So much information,
Creation and dedication
All of you have added to my education
You've been my inspiration

I have a great time
With swap quatrain, nonet, and mono rhyme
Tanka, haiku and mirror sestet,
Nove otto and septolet

You've taken me on image-filled trips,
Physical and mental
Geological and environmental
Sociological and philosophical

To you my brothers and sisters, I give a salute,
Extending my sincerest tribute
