Thanks for catching the typo, dear Lois! Love, rd

Comment from Warren Rodgers

Excellent

Good morning rd!

A great entry for the contest and a nice idea to pay tribute to the members of Fanstory. It flows very well for a free verse style poem. Your poem is missing the "A" line in Fanstory.

Fun family of creatives,
new and old, from around the globe, with
stories and poems told in every style--from free,
to rhymed, to succinctly timed or a long prose mile.
Originality abounds if one rides the
rounds to find those gems and make them
your friends.

I'm sure it is just an oversight. Let me know when you fix it and I'll come back and give you a star back. God luck in the contest my friend.
All the best, Rodger

Second Review:

Now you've got it and a great line it is too! I'd probably be a "late night keyboard taper" LOL. You would know better than me but should "late night" have a dash between the words? I love the rolling rhymes that arrive in the last half of your poem. It really adds to the pace of your poem. Best of luck in the contest.

hugs, Rodger

Good morning, dear Warren! How silly of me to paste it in missing one line! Not sure how that got deleted. Thanks so much for your helpful review. Always a pleasure to hear from you, my friend. Blessings, rd

Thanks, my friend. Something different from me. I saw all those satirical animal contest entries and preferred to write something genuine, simple and sweet about our site...especially since I'll be gone come December... (well, I'll continue as a standard member, maybe). Best Wishes, rd

Fair comment, rd. :-)

You 'threatened' to leave last year, but you're VERY thankfully still with us, so I hope you reconsider, as you'll be very sadly misses, sweetie-pie.

Love, Ray xx

reply by the author on 27-Aug-2014

Aw, thanks, Ray. I did leave last year. Then someone asked me if they could sponsor another year and I politely declined, but they did it anyway! Love, rd

And we ALL benefited from you staying with us, rd.

That reminds me of when I left a few years ago, and my lovely friend, Joyce ('jshep') did the same for me.

I'm not sure if she regretted it afterwards. :-) xx

reply by the author on 27-Aug-2014

Aw, thanks Ray. I benefit too, but it is time to focus on other things. I'll still visit and review a few friends like you as a standard member, if you leave your posts open for those. :)
