Yep, I've got to agree with everything here, she is a great asset to fanstory, she's obviously certifiably blind, but that's where the blindness ends, so the title "what the blind girl saw", is a great metaphor, beautifully written, in smooth, articulate tetrameter and aabb rhyming, well done, blessings Roy

    Thank you Roy! I am surprised how many who didn't know Sally. She is however the truest kind of friend, much like yourself. Thanks for your kind words for 'our gal Sal

The rhyming here is perfect, and I love that you keep coming back to "our gal Sal". I don't know that I've ever read anything she's written, but perhaps I'll be moved to now.

A lovely tribute that you've written to someone that you obviously admire.

    Lol, I think I'm starting to get too excited for us to celebrate the only way we can together! I can't believe I did that, but oh well! Hopefully nobody will see it.

Hi Mystery Author,
I applaud your choice for a Fanstory author to write about. I've been following Sally's mysteries/cold case files about a blind detective, her hubby Jackson, and protector dog King. Sally is everything you tell us. I appreciate her as a Christian who thinks of others before herself. She is a fine writer, rarely making any mistakes in spelling or grammar. She's definitely an asset to Fanstory.
I especially like the repetition of "our gal Sal". It's quite effective.
Thanks for sharing! And good luck in the contest!
Cheers,
Kimbob

    Hi Kimbob! As always I truly appreciate your kind review and words for Sally, as well as her poem. She is a wonderful person and a true sister in Christ.
    After I got the hang of the 'Our Gal Sal' theme, I couldn't stop at just one verse, and hoping it kinda catches on as a little nickname for her. Thats why I didn't want to use the word 'My' because she is special to all who know her.
    I love that you read her work. She will love hearing that as I am pretty sure she is reading all the reviews.

You tell the truth in how she goes about uplifting with words of praise, never hazing as many would do. Well thought out and written piece for a FS friend.

Hello Author, this is a beautiful tribute to our own Sally Law. Your poem reads and flows well, and your message is clear. Of special note:

She prays for others, without fail
An asset to FanStory, she's our gal Sal

(Indeed, she is an asset and a blessing to the FanStory family.)

Good rhyming. Well chosen photos. A pleasure to read. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

This is a wonderful tribute to Sally. Like you I enjoy reading her work, from her Jukebox Hits, to her fine free verse, to her most enjoyable novels.

She is a wonderful and valued member of the community.

Wishing you great luck in the booths. :))

Gloria

I love this!

Such a thoughtfully crafted, and realized verse.

Your affection and admiration for Sal come shining through your carefully selected words.

Your phraseology is noteworthy.

The rhymes are smooth as silk and a pleasure to read.
