Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Very good! Tammy would love it. I miss her and Mark too. They said they'd stay around and do a little bit, but I guess it was just too depresssing. People come and go. There have been others too. It's like losing a family member... kind of sad.

I know what you are saying Phyllis, Tammy was very supportive and helpful to me when I joined FS. Thanks for your reply :) Jaq x
Comment from cvcopac
Plagiarism is a serious charge but I think that would be an absurd accusation against Tammy. Her writing is uniquely, Tammy, and likewise she'd be difficult to plagiarize. So, I don't know what the problem is/was but her buoyant persona's missed by me. I'm glad to here of her publication, though. Kenny

I know Kenny and I am stunned that anyone would spread that about her. It's so unfounded. She is unique and I can never imagine her being anything but honest. Thanks for your words :) Jaq xx

She got a bad review from Patrick Cox, shortly before she dissapeared, that shook her up. Later she became indignat when Jonathan Shaw was removed from the site, and protested. He was indicted for plagiarism and admitted to it--I heard. I liked them both and agree with you: Come back Tammy--bring Jonathan too.
Comment from Curt Mongold
A lovely tribute to a dear friend of yours that I take was on this site, but I must have missed her work, for I do not remember her. You say in your poem she was "expulsed." Can you elaborate? I didn't think that happened here.
A lovely poem,
Curt

I like your poem about TammyGail. I found her work interesting to read, and she was a pleasant and supportive poet and person.
I heard something about her having plagiarized many of her poems here, and that accusation was what led to her removal from FS. If that is not true, proven by the fact that some company has published her poetry, then I hope she is allowed to return to FS.
I noticed the following SPAG:
Come back to us, Tammy, your needed right here, [ . . . you're needed . . . apostrophe ]
Cheers,
DW

Comment from McMurry903
I completely agree with your thoughts on TammyGail. I was only friends with her for a month or so before she left the site, but she made a huge impact on me.So talented, I'm glad she's published now! I do wish her and Mark would return as they were a big part of this community. Thanks for sharing this very well written piece! Brian

Comment from mystery poet
I didn't have the pleasure of reading her fine
works though I can tell she is an icon here to
members who did...The art is wicked but, your
words speak so sweetly of missing member.

Comment from Galactia
This is a beautiful writen poem in ode to tammy, I so misse her poems to, as soon as i came back, two days later her account was gone. I got in touch with christ T before his account went of line and still awaiting for uniqueauthor to return. Tammy is my favourite poet on this site along with Gungaloo. If i was bussy at work, I always ensured I reviewed her work along with Gungaloo and chris T then log off and did the rest when i could and she certainly is the 'Queen of Metaphors'. Thereis no writer like her and dream to be able to write like her. I only yesterday checked back on her, still nothing. I really hope she comes back to us. She was having a lot of issues in her life. heaty breaking actually.
wonderful job, I loved the pic that you have to represents her. flowed very nicely.
Great job
Regards
tia

Comment from seewhatimwritingnow
Didn't know 'Tammy', but she must have really been something for you to write this beautiful poem in her honor. Did you mean to use black fonts in every other stanza? Very hard to read Other than this, I found the praise for Tammy's metaphoric poetry wonderful. You should have let us know where she is published? Thanks, Betty

Comment from GarthL
Good consistent aabb rhyme scheme and an easy flow through the poem. Great illustration, undecided about the alternate stanza text color but it picks up the image color scheme I guess. A very well expressed and obviously heart-felt story about your friend TammyGail and her expulsion from fs is it?! Wow! Anyway well written Jaq, I can see you know how to express yourself with words in various forms.
WriteOn, LiveLove, Garth

I was so pleased I could give you a six for this:) Tammy is quite dear to me too and feel she drew the short end of the straw for speaking her mind. I know there has to be rules but this is more like sensorship and this should not be part of a writing site. It should be the free flow of ideas no matter what your view may be. I see you took a couple of the suggestions I think they helped the pieces and drove home the point a little more effectively. I hope this makes a difference for I miss her too. and I think the lack of writing might led to her death and that would be both tragic and a terrible thing to live with when it is totally preventable. Great job, no superb job and remember I am always here to help:) Mark

Mark I am grateful for your help as always. You help to make me a better writer. Tammy is a wonderful lady and a great talent. To stifle that in anyone is criminal. I wish she could return uncensored. Thanks again Mark for a wonderful review, rating and your help. :) Jaq xx

Agreed my friend:) sorry I was such an idiot tonight I just had to ask:) This is probably a cat you shouldn't let out of the bag for a while though. Maybe in a year or so it might be a funny joke on an anniversary though? No maybe not! Mark
