You know, you ain't so bad a writer yourself.

Always nice to see a member credited for their work and sure she appreciated it very much.

Liked the last line about "I wouldn't be so broke".

Writing can be a tough business on this site and in the real world. As a Freelance Writer, I can definitely relate to that line.

Glad you finally got to see it and enjoyed it. I am glad to have you as a new friend on FS. You don't know how many times I have considered quitting FS for a lot of reasons. But for some reason God keeps bringing new friends and great writers along to keep me here.

Great poem with perfect rhyme. It always inspirational to see a fan member exalted. Positive posts are always encouraging. The illustration is lovely, as well.

Hey there, Mate!
What a wonderful tribute to you friend and wife. Would a Brit be somehow less desirable than an Aussie? I hadn't really thought of the impressions we have of different English speaking populations. Interesting. Nicely done! :0 GracieAnn

Not my wife, Sis. A new friend on FS. Someone (American) told me they use the expression Brit for British as well. Thanks for coming by.

And you know you are just one of, dear Bro in Christ. I think you know I battle with "pulling the plug" then the Lord brings some new reasons along to stay a bit longer hehe.

Thank you for introducing me to Mary--I will have to check out her work on FanStory. I enjoyed your rhymed quatrains as a tribute and the symbolic, emerging butterfly artwork. Cheers- Joan

This is a lovely tribute to your new friend. I am sure it made her/him bush but it is so nice when someone goes the extra mile to point out the talent of someone they admire. We are familiar with the expressin Brits...we use it too.

A very well-written poem and tribute to Mary. Sometimes a person can impress us without us knowing who they are and when we met them we are just attracted to them for some reason.

Hi Sis thanks for the lovely review. I told Mary her novel deserves transforming into a movie or mini-series.
