Aww I wanted to give this six stars but I have no more left!... I completely agree! Free verse has it's place but a good rhyme with a melody to it just feels right. And I love the mental exercise of finding just the right words. What a lovely little ditty you have here! :) Thanks for sending it to me!

Thanks so very much for the awesome comments Hon, and it is so sweet of you to review it without it even being promoted. I should have told you that you didn't have to, but was so sweet of you for reviewing it anyway. Thank you again, my friend. I am glad that we have so much in common. Yes, I will do some free verse but that is too much like just talking.
Anyway, thank you again, my dear friend. Debi
Comment from Liz O'Neill
This immediately sounded fascinating & curious.
Quite a drawing! Professional looking. At least you know yourself well. That's half the battle: "I'm not a free verse kind of girl, not even for part-time" I always got motion sick on the merry-go-round. Kind of sad. Your poem was a merry-go-round metaphor.

Comment from Sally Law
Finally, I get to review this darling poem and leave a worthy six stars! Of course I love your Merry~Go~Rhyme as you are the queen of rhyming poetry. I'm the queen of silly. My nickname in school, among the many, was Silly. Now you know. No surprise there, I suppose. I was also the chaplain of my high school club so when I'm not praying I'm prone to smiling and laughing. This poem makes me smile and forget all my troubles! Just like you! This is perfect in every way and the art is too. Stunning in theme and presentation.
Marvelous offering, my friend, and Sister Act! We must do this again sometime!
Love and blessings always.
Sister Sally XOs!

Hey Sweet Partner, thanks so much for this great review and sweet comments. Too bad Tom wouldn't allow us to do a post together where we could put two on one page. So we could put a circus and merry go rhyme one next to each other. Thus being the sister acts. I really appreciate all your kind words Sweeties too! Thank you also for the very generous gift of six stars! You have no idea what they all mean to me, dear friend.

You are most welcome, dear friend in rhyming fun! Anytime we can chime! You are most deserving. I had too much fun with this sister act! We must do it again soon. Love, Sal XOs
Comment from Jan Hope
Bright and joyful; what the world needs at the moment! It made me smile and I could envisage the excitement of the circus and especially the trapeze (I used to break out in a sweat as a kid watching these people fly through the air!). I love poems that rhyme like this. Great poem!

I love happy poems and riding the Merry Go-around. I'll have to wait for grandchildren to come. I'll check it out so I can write one, too. I have been traveling a lot so I have plenty ideas.
Well done.

Fantastic! Hey sis just popped in to see what you had written and I don't have time to stay but I did want to comment on this beautiful poem. I'm not 1000% sure I've told you that I really like rhyming poems too. If you haven't already done so you might like to check out my poem: "Let It Rhyme". What you always do so masterfully is take us on a magic carpet ride with words that we understand and in a rhythmic array of linguistic tapestry. Thanks sis God bless. Catch you later it might be a week before I get back onto FanStory.

Hey you little brother. I am still on my way to come see you and read your let it rhyme post, but I am having a hard time trying to catch up. Yet being over 500 behind, I doubt I ever will. (Yes, you heard me right!) I know that many know about my vision at least until next month when I have the surgeries, so they understand. However, I don't want to ever forget those that are giving their precious six stars. And I'd not forget you anyway, so expect to see me at your place for a visit tonight yet.
I thank you for the awesome review of my Merry~go~Rhyme poem.

Hey Debi, with ALL you have going, put me at the bottom of the list. You've already buttered me up a whole bunch. L O L I'm probably already slippery.
Very short responses are very adequate.

Comment from Jim Wile
Just wonderful, Debi. Beautifully rhymed and with excellent meter as is typical of your poetry which I love. I definitely prefer rhyming poetry, myself, as it just sounds so much more pleasing to read, and takes a bit of cleverness to do well.
Whoever invented this style of poem has done a grand job, as they are so entertaining and cheerful. I'm so glad you share them with us on FanStory. Love, Jim

Jim, what a nice compliment. Since I have never heard of a format that has the same restrictions as these with a one or two lines in between for the up and down effect, the fun and musical bounce, must rhyme with normal stanzas, has to be in the middle of the page for more of a circle of life, round and round feel it. etc ..... then I will take the credit. I liked Sally's but just love the middle of the page, center stage as I put it. But for what she does, you just can't beat her fun. So is why we call them sister acts..
You put my horse up on the highest mode and it doesn't want to come down for a little bit. Thanks for that Jim. You are the greatest!

I love your Merry-Go-rhyme poem, Debi. Bright and cheerful and fun to read. Like you, I like to write in rhyme. It doesn't seem like a poem when it doesn't rhyme. Very well done on this.

I am jumping up and down with delight. This poem is fun, delightful, and uplifting. Both your poem and Sally's poem made me happy. I agree with you...sadness, pain, and challenges will find us. This poem along with Sally's poem is like taking two happy pills before calling the doctor in the morning. I look forward to more.

Hi Lorraine, I apologize for this being so late. My eye specialist has restricted my time on my ipad until next months surgeries. I do read them all as they come in and although I am late, I do keep plucking away at them. But I wanted to make sure you knew how much your awesome review means to me. I love your sweet comment for Sally and mine. We both got the biggest smiles from that. Thank you so much for your very kind words for my poem and your gracious gift of six stars. They are so appreciated, my dear friend!

Hi Debi, Please never be concerned about when you respond to my reviews. I have my own eye concerns and understand you must follow doctor's orders if you are to preserve your sight. I will be thinking and praying for you for next month's surgeries. Blessings.
