Great job, as always. I was shocked to see that Steve got his start in Lake Charles, Louisiana, because that is where I live, and have lived all my life, other than the 2 years I spent in Orange, Texas due to Hurricanes Laura and Delta.

    Monica, how very kind of you for the lovely words and also for the six stars. How cool is that you live where Steve lived earlier in life. So you and Steve both have been to Texas and LA. How funny. And thanks so much, my dear friend. Love, Debi

Someone has great taste in music. Is it Steve? Or you? Very Nice poem for his birthday. He has to be a good man because he's a fisherman. Happy Birthday Steve and God bless you in your writing adventures.

Yes Steve has been a friend of mine for years now, even before he started to write so prolifically as he does now, but you miss very few, there are a lot of members, and if you miss a few so be it, you are a compassionate person, and spread your appreciation where you can, well done Debi, and happy birthday belated Steve, blessings Roy

    Roy, I thank you for your very kind review and words for Steve and his poem. You are so sweet and I appreciate it. Yes, they come to me now to tell me if they want one, that way nobody should ever feel bad if they don't cause all they have to do is ask. Gosh I appreciate your kind words.
    Thanks, my dear friend. Love, Debi

-Great artwork and presentation, Debi.
-A very nice tribute for Steve's birthday.
-We learn some interesting things about him,
like having raised chickens, working at a steakhouse,
and fishing with his nephews besides being on FS.
-A very good verse about the party and a final couplet.
-Thanks for sharing it, Debi.

*Happy Birthday, Steve. Hope it was a good one
A great song choice with "House of the Rising Sun."
One of my favorites, too.

Thank you for sharing this belated birthday tribute to Steve with us. I've been a fan of his for a few months now and totally enjoy reading this novel. You continue to be our very own special angel. I appreciate you so much.

I was not familiar with Steve's writing, I will have to check out his portfolio. He sounds like such an interesting person and I love the lines in your poem about his love of fishing. I am enjoying your birthday poems, it is fun to read about other writers here.

Debi dear, this is just fantastic for our Louisianan, Steve. I learned so much I didn't know about him in your fine offering. I especially loved the blue/green waters of your formatting, reminiscent of Louisiana. Now, he's next door in Texas. I hope they have good fishing in Texas. I wouldn't know.

Happy Birthday, Steve! My very best birthday wishes sent your way and perhaps some authentic Cajun food! I'm finding that Birthdays are relative to when we can celebrate them and they have no term limits. Mine went on for a month.

Love & Blessings,
Sal XOs

    You're so welcome! I was in the hospital October 1st, so you'd have been a bit distracted anyway. Great poem for Steve, nonetheless.

    I have been enjoying all the reviews. I love that Ric called me the Stevie Boy, the werewolf king. I have also received a couple of fans. What a blessing you are, Young Lady.
    Thank you.
    God bless,
    Steve

    Wayne just called me out on a line that I should have known better, it sounds better now that I changed it and it was such an easy change.
    I was hoping you would get a few new fans out of it. You have two more days that it is promoted so maybe more will come. Even if they don't fan right away, more now at least know who you are. I am so happy about that.
reply by Neonewman on 28-Oct-2024
    Yeah! Now, I need to review some of their work. I love meeting new people.

    I am so far behind on answering reviews so please don't be offended if it takes a while to get one back for the amazing six stars you gave me this morning for my Halloween blizzard. I used to love Twilight Zone so I was trying to follow that. And I should have added something in your poem about the horror stories but I didn't know. But you mentioned the names you like being called and I don't blame you, as I love birthday poet queen, but especially when you call me young lady. LOL.
reply by Neonewman on 28-Oct-2024
    I am rarely offended, unlike in the world today, lol. I loved the Twilight Zone as well, along with Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney, and the rest of the scary folks. Don't worry about not mentioning the horror, people will find out as they read some, lol.
