A wonderful birthday poem, dear Debi!! I loved to learn more about Lisa and her glamorous life. It's funny how there are so many people on here with so many different life experiences. It's so good we are able to share them with each other. People like you help tie us together and to learn about the people behind the posts.

Much love and hugs,
Rhonda

    Oh Rhonda, you are so sweet and I have been missing some of our email talks. You must contact me and let me know how my little sweetie is doing. I wanted to send her another smashup but did not want to overwhelm you with those things. And another reason is I miss you. (Big Smile)

    Lisa is really appreciating all the kind things everyone is saying. Thank you so much for all your lovely comments and it is always good to see you, my very dear friend. Thanks so very much too, Rhonda, for the generous six stars for her poem. I appreciate it so very much!!
    Love, Debi

    Little brother, Gunnar, was with us this weekend. His father has custody of him and we don't get to see him often.
    Love you,

I enjoyed reading the story of Liss's interesting life. We went to Spain many years ago now but loved everywhere we went. Except for grandchildren here, it would be a lovely place to land and enjoy the gardening and the lovely weather.

Nicely done Debi,
Blessings
Janet

Hi Debi, I really don't know Lisa, but I'll check out her work. You did a fantastic job illustrating her Birthday Fiesta. I especially liked:

Then back to California, under big Hollywood sign

Good rhyming. A fun poem that made me smile. Everyone loves a love story. Lisa has lived an amazing life. Best wishes to Lisa on her birthday. Well done. Xo. M

A lovely birthday greeting for Lisa. I love that you threw in some Spanish for her at the end. I didn't know she lived in Hollywood; she's had some wonderfully exciting experiences. Glad to know a bit more about Lisa through your poem. Blessings. Carol

You know I'm from Spain and I'm happy for Lisa, Spain is a beautiful country. If I didn't have children I would move back. My sister and brother still works there.

Lisa has a very interesting life. Thank you for letting me know her better.

Well done!

    Hi Gypsy, yeah, the kids would be the deal breaker for me. I have often thought about going some place warmer in the winter, but my grandbabes are here. So I guess MN I stay, LOL....

    I saw music videos. I must get my eyes checked. I meant songs maybe not notes. :) sorry
reply by the author on 06-Feb-2024
    Thats ok, but was a little confused. Once was a big curse word in everyone else's authors notes except mine. Tom never did figure that one out, so you can see why I am cautious! Hahaha!

    That's funny. Things we all must be aware of now. :/

I always feel my life has been so ordinary against many of our fanstorians you write about, Debi. Lisa has certainly had a full and interesting life and now enjoys a quieter life in Spain. Loved finding out more about lisa.
cheers,

Hi Debi,
I can see why this had to be longer than usual. She has done so many interesting things in her life and is so multi-talented. Will she settle down now in Spain?
Maybe the line should read, "Then Lisa sent to Hollywood School "where" she studied art"
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a wonderful rest of the week.
Joan

    Hi Joan, thanks so much but the reason these poems are so difficult is because you have to get all the info together, know what you want to keep in each stanza so it makes sense, find a way to put words together to make it rhyme at the end of the line and then have it make sense. And the worst part is the meter. I am so fussy about my meter so that is why yours would not work. Believe me I have thought of everything. And if I didn't find it so necessary to use her name, it would be a piece of cake.. but Lisa screws it up. And you see it was a place to make sure everyone knew that I was talking about her and not her parents. Y'know what I mean? I love when you ask me questions because that gave me a chance to explain how they are done. Thanks Hon! LOL.
reply by dragonpoet on 07-Feb-2024
    You're most kindly welcome, Debi. I am glad you like questions. I can see how these poems could be hard to write especially if the person has a name that has few rhymes.

This was a splendid poem and I don't know how you manage to share so much while making it all connect and rhyme! Sounds like Lisa has led one fascinating life. I enjoyed reading about her!
