This poem puts on a show of belly dancing. Many like this type of dancing; I wonder if you must be a Hawaiian to belly dance? Great poetry and rhyming.

This lady sounds great. She is so diversified. She is a teacher, belly dancer, recorder of her dreams and has a chihuahua! Love your poem and Happy Birthday to a new writer here on Fanstory. I will have to check out her work.

Hi Debi, thank you for introducing Deanna to our FS family. She is a fascinating women, and I hope that she enjoys years of writing here at FS.

Of note:
She writes feelings in journals, and she records all her dreams

(Impressive. I can't remember my dreams.)

Good rhyming. Fantastic artwork choice. Well done. There's nothing left to say except, Happy Birthday Deanna - 11:17 ~ perhaps the time that she was born? Margaret ~ LateBloomer

Very nice of you to write such a fun and informative birthday greeting/poem for "11:17"

I had a heck of a time locating her, to check out her work! (I finally typed "11:17" into the "find a member" search box and she popped up.

That's an original penname but tough when the system is geared to list members alphabetically!

I see she was here for a single post (that shows) in 2011 and then came back in January and has posted three since returning in 2024.

I reviewed one of her posts and sent a birthday wish--which I could never have done without your introduction and poem for her.

Your bio-birthday poem reads beautifully, and as always (you know I call you FS's birthday fairy)-- You've spread a bit of sunshine.

So very you!

Karenina

Thank you for sharing Deanna birthday tribute with us. I have not met this fascinating lady, but I am going to have to meet her. A belly dancing middle school teacher, one doesn't get any better than that. Middle school is a hard age to teach. I've wanted to learn belly dancing. I've heard it's good for the stomach muscles, but ALL of my guys have said no. Not sure why???? I certainly don't want to do it in public only for exercise. Anyway, again, thank you for being a special angel.

    QC, you silly boy. If you read my poetry, especially this poem, you will see that I don't jump around. What is written within the top two lines or bottom two lines in a stanza ALWAYS go together. But I knew you were just teasing about the confusion, I thought I should point that out.
    Thanks for the kind comments, my friend.

She will either feel totally welcome or she will run away in fear from the pressure of trying to measure up. I just have to say, you have become so adept at this celebratory tribute game that one might just a tad intimidated. I pray that she will accept your welcome and be inspired to share with the family, her I am so sure, excellent thoughtful expressions.
another slam dunk.

Interesting! I never read this author so thank you for making this introduction for us. I'm so curious as to what the 11:17 means. Maybe that's when she signed up for Fanstory? I'll wish her a happy birthday ð???
