Ode to FanStory Friends

Comment from Debbie Pope
Thank goodness this is not a farewell. I appreciate your show of appreciation. That is a nice thing to do. We all need to show appreciation to those that we care about.
My husband is active on Facebook, chatting with his old friends. He can't understand why I would rather chat on FanStory with people I have never met. He doesn't understand that we just have so much in common. And on FanStory, I have people who actually want to read my works. What an amazing opportunity to share and grow.

I so agree with your point of view, Debbie. I prefer FS to FB any day of the week. I think that we all appreciate the creativity we see in each other and wish to feel the encouragement we find here. Thanks so much, my friend!!

I appreciate being appreciated, Melissa, and I think other FanStorians will, too. I especially like how you express the benefits you've derived. Stanza four is my favorite. Rod

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I adore your tribute to all your friends on Fanstory Melissa, your poem has such a wonderful perfect meter and your words are endearing, kind and thoughtful. You have come a long way and your writing has gone from strength to strength and I admire your talent. I just have one suggestion for this line:
this drive for expression... only you understand.
for the sake of meter:
(this drive for expression... (that) you understand)
It has to be a six from me.
Love Dolly x

Comment from Debra White
Hello Sugarray :)
I really enjoyed reading your poem.
It's upbeat, positive and appreciative.
The meter is so neat and bouncy, I love it! I did notice a slight bump (stanza 4, line 4), but the ellipsis disguise it ;)
Beautifully written and presented.
Best wishes, Debra

Thank you Debra! I did have a bump, but wanted to keep it, so hence, the ellipsis. LOL. Since it was not for a contest, but for content... well, Anyway, I really appreciate your lovely comments!! You should try the meter, its fun!

Hello Melissa :) Thank you for your lovely reply - I enjoyed the bump too!
I'll give the meter a go (when I'm feeling brave!)
Enjoy the rest of your day, best wishes, Debra
Comment from Sally Law
You are so very special, dear Melissa. You're a special gift to FanStory. I'm most relieved to read this and know you won't be leaving. Ten close to me have left and I miss them so.
Sending you my best today as always,
Sal XOs....

Comment from Bill Schott
This Ode to Fanstory Friends is a nice send up for the boys and girls who plug away at poems, short stories, essays, and chapter books as we watch their progress. Neat.

Comment from Susan Newell
What a warm, welcoming and loving poem, expressing what many of us feel. I loved the ink-stained hands and the fact that it is now a metaphorical phrase. :-)
Typo -- missing a G in exchanging.
