Your poem is excellent in every respect--skillfully written and expressive. You have sustained the "Thanksgiving feast" message smoothly throughout. I especially like stanza 4. (Did you mean to split that long
line?)

Thank you, Janice, for the kind words. It's hard to describe the friendships here on Fanstory, but I had to try!
I will take a look at that line. Thanks for mentioning it!

I shall pull up a chair, Tina, and spread this bowl of cheer! Your wonderful poem deserves a sixer from me. But anyway, you write with tenderness and heart! The rhyming is excellent and the words touch my heart!
I too have made many good friends on FS and they come from countries all around the world! This spicy Thanksgiving feast is delicious! I want to eat again and, again,
until my stomach is full!
Thank you for posting this lovely tribute to all of us on Fan Story!
Take good care of yourself, my newfound friend!
Jesse

Thanks so much Jesse for the offer of a new friendship and for this kind review! No six needed but thanks for saying that! The feeling amongst us, the love of poetry, friends and spreading cheer just made me write this!
Thanks again!

What a very lovely rhyming poem, and what a creative way to express your thanksgiving for friends on this site! Very impressive. It is timely to compare your thanksgiving for friends with a Thanksgiving feast. Well done. Sending good wishes for your entry in the contest.

Thanks so much, Dolly, for reading. Friendly community...love that. I had to express that somehow. I always tell my hubby...I feel like I've stumbled into an alternate , wonderful, universe here.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you for this wonderful tribute to our Fanstory writers here! And I love the metaphors you used such as "Emotion is the spice we use
a dash of humor too" and most of all the gratefulness for "true friends that God ordained."

This is a loving and kind tribute to our writing group and is beautifully written. Love the analogies and the invitation to the feast. I am no poet, but I understand this one and it gives me joy. Best of luck in the contest.

You did a great job with your contest entry, Tina. I enjoyed reading it. I like how you correlated the Thanksgiving table with words about writing from your FS friends. Great job with the smooth flow, the good end rhymes, and the great message. YOU have a safe Thanksgiving.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

This tribute to other FanStorians is much appreciated. I am delighted to sit at your "table" and share in the "flow of words." I am genuinely pleased you find our company beneficial. Rod

Dang, I am out of 6's. This is a great poem for this contest, good luck. I hope I get a vote. I find it very clever of you to work this poem into Thanksgiving and FanStory. The way you presented it is very well done. Good job.
