A lovely ode to our friend and fellow poet. A heartfelt tribute to the one and only Jaybird. Thank you for sharing and putting into words what so many of us feel each time we read another of his legendary sonnets.
Well done.
Blessings

Thank you Janet for this lovely review and those beautiful six stars, and for your very kind. Paying tribute to someone as a classy man like Jay, is a gift in return. Apparently he is a a kind gentleman. Great tribute you gave to a deserving man
Comment from the13thpoet
Hello Debi a good day to you. As always I hope this finds you well. you scared me when I first saw this I thought he had passed, so glad that's not the case. As a fan of Jaybird1 myself, pardon my French when I say DAMN you nailed that. I couldn't have said it better myself. I agree with every word. Great tribute to such an inspirational poet. I hope I have the desire and ability to still do this if I reach his age. Have a great day!

What a lovely way to write a tribute, and way better than any sixer, I'm sure! You've imbued this with affection and fun as well as earnest sentiments. I very much enjoyed.

I am so jealous. I have wanted for some time to do something to celebrate this awesome writer. I love his direct way of writing, nothing fancy smansy, just direct and to the point writing. I always read and favorably review his work as I find it satisfying, entertaining and uplifting. Great job. I wish I had six stars to give you.

Nomi, this poem was as much from you as it was from me. I included this whole FanStory family, because truthfully God put this in my heart to first of all read the poem, and react accordingly to his beautiful words in his latest poem. And the cool part was that Jay and I never had any contact before, but I ask God everyday to let me be a blessing to everyone I am in touch with and God answers how He sees fit. Speaking of God's Blessings, you my friend have been one to me from day one!

Aw gee, now you got me smiling like a loon. Thank you my dear friend. It is so nice to find a kindred spirit.

Thank you for the kind words that I hope Jay is reading from the awesome FS family. He responded so kindly to the poem and by now he should know how many wonderful friends he has here. This was truly a connection made by God, as He intervened, when I tried to write something else.
I am so touched by all the kind comments for an awesome man who deserves everyone of them. Thank you so much K L!
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
I wrote something similar to him when I reviewed his post - "you still have much to say". This is a beautiful way to honor someone with such a sensitive and talented voice. Thank you.

Thank you Pam, and it doesn't surprise me at all that you wrote him something special as you are such a loving person. And he deserves all the kind comments that he is receiving today. Thank you for adding to the many that are honoring him as this is truly a wonderful bunch of dedicated friends here. I'm proud to be one of the FS family.

Debi, your poem is a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to Jaybird1. He is an amazing man, and you are amazing for w.riting this wonderful poem.
I think your poem says it all. It may be Friday, but I still have a Sixer
available for you. FS is a community of compassionate people, and your poem is proof of that. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

You are so kind and giving my friend, as I hope he reads all the reviews that are written in admiration of his awesome and legendary poetry. I never expected to receive the extra stars, but I thank you so very much!
You are so very gracious, and as always I truly appreciate your lovely review and kind comments
Comment from Pam (respa)
-This is very deserving of my last 6 star, Debi, but
I have to say seeing jaybird's picture and a tribute poem
had me scared about what I was going to read.
-What a lovely thing to do. I haven't really thought
about it because he can't see well and doesn't read others works.
-His daughter reads all of the reviews to him. Maybe when he has his next poem, you could mention it so he will know about it.
-You wrote a wonderful poem.
-I like your rhyming couplets and the flow of each one.
-There are so many good thoughts in this, like he isn't alone, and his poetry could be reaching others like him.
-We are definitely 'proud to be his peers'.
-The last two couplets are very special and from your heart.
-Thank you so much for sharing this.

Pam I thank you so very much for the lovely comments about Jay, as well as the poem meant to honor him. The last thing I ever expected was getting 6 stars for it, however he is the one is deserving of them.
You will be happy to know that he did respond to the poem with such gracious comments and class. I will always remember how I felt when I read his awesome words. Thank you once again my beautiful friend!

You are very welcome and deserving of the stars and review, Debi. I am so glad he responded to the poem. That is wonderful.

Beautiful! A well stated Tribute to Jay! The author's words are
heartfelt, descriptive, compassionate and creative. I also love
Jay's poetry! I haven't read the poem the author is referring to
yet. The artwork is perfect and compliments these words.

I am so glad you wrote this creative tribute to one of our consistent poets. I have commented and enjoyed all of his work since I've been on this site, and agree with every word of your poem. "We pray for more years to come." Thank you for this tribute.
