As always, I am so tickled by your lovely words for my poem and your interest now in Sally's work. I can promise you will not be disappointed if you choose to check her out. Thank you my dear friend.
Comment from DeboraDyess
I bet Sally is thrilled to see this! I learned quite a bit about her and plan on going and reading more of her work because of this poem - that should tell you how well you portrayed her.
Thank you for this and best in the contest,
Blessings,
Deb

An excellent poem for this contest, good luck! You chose a good person to write about that helps the entry. You did a nice job of telling us about her and what you liked about her writing and her as a person. Outstanding work. Terry.

Comment from Frank Malley
In better poetry, distinction is often achieved through the use of particular details and language that brings these details powerfully to the foreground of interpretation. "Our Gal Sal" is an emotionally generated tribute to a fine woman, but its commonplace choice of descriptors and a rhyme scheme that's more interested in rhyming than in creating strong images take some of this poem's potential for effect away.

And thank you Carol for such kind comments for the poem and for Sally, who is such a lovely woman. I've had a few who hadn't read any of her work, but everyone agreed what a good Christian and sweetheart, just like you my sweet friend. Thank you again.
