Happy birthday to NanaGaye! I don't believe I've had the pleasure of reviewing her, so will be sure to check her out.

(Is "partay" a play on party? I'm getting on in years and wasn't sure!)

Grinning here...

Another fine birthday poem!

    We used to say partay all the time when joking around about going to a party. I saw you grinning. You just love to tease me.. LOL'

    Thanks so much for reviewing this one too, dear friend. Love, Debi

That's quite an achievement for Gaye to be teaching dance for 70 years. This is a lovely birthday poem for Gaye, and a nice way for us to learn a bit more about her. I'm sure she enjoyed your poem Debi.
Nice one,
Cheers
Valda

I love the way you write about your mom. I feel I know her, too. I love anyone who danced ballet and taught dancing. That was my focus in life, also, but I became a mom, instead. Your mom sounds like she shares her talents and inspires many others. I loved your poem.

-Very nice artwork and presentation, Debi.
-You wrote a very good tribute with effective imagery and rhyme.
-The opening verses give us background information. I can't
imagine teaching anything for 70 years.
-I think she will have plenty of hobbies to keep her busy.
-I look forward to the celebration and party and seeing some dancing.
-Very well done, Debi, and Happy Birthday, NanaGaye!

This is a wonderful birthday tribute poem for NanaGaye who sounds like she has had quite the full life and it's still marching on with new projects and activities. I wish her a very Happy Birthday today with a wish for a healthy happy year to come. Nicely done as always, Debi!

Hello Debi.
This poem is very nicely constructed and I have to say, any poem accompanied by Abba Is good by me. History of the subject's dance teacher is complete entails how she succeeded in dancing throughout her life. The story in the poem it's complete and complementary of the teacher.

Kia Ora Nana Gaye. Happy Birthday in the land of the Long White Cloud (and many more birthdays.) Debi, your birthday poem was neat. Gaye's many years of dancing a treat. And a big family is her bonus. K xx wish I had a six, haven't so, ****** virtual stars!

Thanks so much for your lovely poem for my birthday. I've just returned from visiting some of my family in Auckland City (over hundred miles from were we live) I've got a nice photo of three generations which I;m going to dream up a little poem. Just one thing, I celebrate poetry day with all age groups, usually starting with popping into our local preschool, then our retirement village followed by a get together for participants to read,share or listen to poems. Thanks again for your creating a poem for my birthday I really appreciate it. Love & best wishes NanaGaye PS I didn't have any more six stars so please accept a five star

    I will make sure I get over to read it when you post that. I can't imagine you being any cuter than are, and I know all your new fans will find you as sweet as I already have found you. I hope you really do like your poem now.
    Please don't forget to read the reviews and I will send you a link to your PM box too for it. Thanks so much. Love, Debi
