Comment from Sally Law
Thank you for the lovely toast and kind New Year's wishes, Debi dear. A delightful mono rhyming poem and message for us all to carry into the New Year ahead. I feel we need it now more than ever.
On little nit my blind reader caught. Stanza one has [Tor] instead of [For] which has a similar look in this font.
For honesty and not pretense.
I hope this helps and adds to your fine post. If I am off, please disregard.
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes for the new year and warmth and good cheer!

Debi, I got one six left, and you get it. Your New Year's poem is excellent for this contest, good luck. Your work is always heartfelt, and it shows. I also admire the way you use the tools on the advanced editor to enhance your presentation, and they are always excellent. Keep up the good work for 2023! Terry.

Pam, as always you are so sweet. You my dear, are one of my biggest treats of 2022. I always felt we had a special friendship, but finding out that we are darn near twins, well that changes everything. Lol. It truly is special tho.
I thank you so very much for your lovely review and kind words for my poem. It's so appreciated, my dear friend!

A very happy new year to you and your family. I've enjoyed your poetry immensely and admire your talent, although I'm not sure I will continue on this site. It's become uncomfortable for me to post anymore, even though I love to write and have found a lot of happiness on FanStory. Thank you for this wonderful and heartfelt message.

Sharon, thank you for your kind review, comments and for the six stars.
I'm not sure what to say about you being uncomfortable here. I stuck up for you for quite a while and even congratulated you whenever we were within a vote or two a part in contests when you won. Only then to find out that you had three extra voters who obviously knew your work in blind contests.
I was heartbroken that you could do that to me and others.
Being honest with everyone now may be more rewarding for you than what you realize. People are willing to forgive a mistake thru sincere apologies and promise that they no longer vote. You might find that you even like yourself a lot more when you truly earn the votes. Your a good writer. Have more confidence in your ability.

First of all, I like myself just fine and I have a lot of confidence in my work. I have TWO daughters who are fanstory members, pay their dues and can vote for whomever they please. They have done nothing wrong either. I have never cheated nor had multiple accounts like Ms Allen has accused me of. Her jealousy and bitterness have made me regret just one thing....that I I am a part of this site. I am rethinking this. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Hi there,
I really liked your piece here. It's a nice warm tribute to fellow members and expresses how many of us feel about the site.
The only minor thing I stumbled on was on the penultimate line where it says drink or beer. Maybe there's a better way to express this - wine or beer perhaps?
All the best

Thank you so much giraffmang, for your kind review and comments.
One of the things that I appreciate the most is honest feedback.. I struggled with this line, so your perception and opinion are priceless to me. I'm on my way to change right now. Thanks again my friend!
