"Tributes to FS Members"


Prologue
Writer and Reader

By Brigitte Elko

Surely, cyber affairs aren't a sin,
he draws like a magnet the ladies in.
Praise he gives to all freely,
like a race car doing a wheelie.
Any lady at the end of the station,
hears the train whistle,a real elation.

He's a talented writer on this very site,
he tangos with words, what a delight.
Reviews and postings he adds for the reader,
hearts are a flutter with his rhyme and meter.
The pictures he paints with vivid descriptions,
start a flame in the mind and love a conviction.

Awaiting the news of what Grandma's doing,
cooking and watching as he goes a wooing.
The mountain man proclaims a hooray,
to writers, who applaud what they say.
No other, can whisper "I love you", like him,
make believers out of all who communicate with him.

This is for you Bill,aka Junglefighter.




Author Notes Junglefighter is an awesome writer and reviewer. His comments make you feel good all over. The love he spreads on this site is heartwarming. Do you hear the train coming? It's Bill...


Chapter 2
Dean the Scary

By Brigitte Elko

There is a guy named Dean,



Writes the scariest poems I've ever seen.







They will often give you a few nightmares



(and I personally don't think he really cares.)







They are always perfect in rhyme and meter,



And are often about the Grim Reaper.







To make them feel even more creepy,



Scary music or a video, you'll hear or see







If you haven't, you'll have to give him a read,



I promise, chilling satisfaction is guaranteed.







For Dean Kuch

An Australian Poet

Rest in peace and be assured
Of a mind set to
Yield poetic thoughts

Of a deep set faith,
Which never fails to
Energize and amaze my
Non believing heart

Chapter 6
Tribute to Teri7

By Brigitte Elko

A lovely lady with a voice so sweet
She’s such a blessing, a joy to meet
Her stories of her grandson we enjoy
He’s such an adorable little boy!

She writes about her cats and husband dear
But the theme most important is so clear
Her love for God is an ardent fire
That and her sweet prayer life I admire.

Chapter 10
The Legend

By Brigitte Elko

There is a writer, I'll not use his name

I am sure you'll guess, he's marked by fame

Many a contest he has won, his reviewing, legendary.

For many it is just downright scary!

You tremble each time you post.
Will The Legend be your host?

Brought into the light is every flaw.
Sometimes EMT's I must call.

Sadly, he gave up on me, because, well, you see,
I have far too many boo boos, now I must pay a fee,

A very high one to get anyone to review me,
Sometimes they even make me mail it!

I seem to always be in a proverbial pit,
There I pay my dues and review, review, review.

However, even though they are three pages long,
The Legend's reviews helped make me strong

They've made me the writer I am today.
Hey, that's not a very nice thing to say!

I tried ever so hard to find fault with his writings,
Anything would do! However, there were no sightings.

Anyhoo, my hats off to this legendary mystery man,
Who can stand to write long reviews, let's give him a hand.





 

Author Notes This is totally for fun and is not intended to criticize in anyway. I know these types of reviews do make better writers and keeps one on their toes. (my toes are so sore). And that's a really good thing, right? And I really do admire those who write such detailed reviews.

EMT-Emergency Medical Team, for when you go into cardiac arrest. (Though it has always baffled me why you don't call the police for an 'arrest'. Tee, hee.)
