Thank you for sharing Late Bloomer with us. I do read her often, but not a fan. I need to make that correction immediately.
I read her back, amazed us so, things started to align (I read this as 'I read hers back' Not sure, I'm not a poet.P

I can see why you might read it like that Barb. But it just means, she reads mine and I read hers, and this is how we find so many similiairiti.
Thanks so much for your very kind comments for my poem for Margaret, my sister of the universe. I wrote about this once before about a year ago, but it was time to give her another nod for
WHM. Women's History Month. Thanks again my sweet friend.
Comment from LateBloomer
Debi, sweet SOTU, you never cease to amaze me, and I am so honored by this poem--more than you know. When you write, you write from your heart. Your words seem to flow effortlessly. I don't know how you do it. You are a writing machine.
So now I must write a review. When I review, I usually pick out a line or two that I especially liked. When the poem is about one's self, you make it hard to do, but I'll give it a try. I especially liked:
One big difference that I see, is where we both came from
Her, Manhattan, NYC ~ I'm her Minnesota chum
(Debi, I love that you have farmland, but you can keep the cold. I understand crops, but animals and pets, I just don't get. I was born a City girl. We're sort of like Oliver and Lisa from the TV series, Green Acres. As a kid, I loved that show. I can still her the opening song of which I can relate.)
So with an open heart, I thank you, for this honor for which I am most humbled. I'm glad that your my Sis, but how could I resist. With my coffee mug in hand, I cheer you every day.
Once again, my sweet SOTU, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Never change. Xo. M

Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
You made clear in your poem the many similarities, you share with Margaret, as well as the reasons you are sisters of the universe. The coffee cup with your pictures is quite creatively done.

My dear little sis, I call you that as I am much older than you. I do believe you have cornered the market when it comes to poems that delight. I really do enjoy reading your poems. They are entertaining and never offend anyone. I am also pleased that you have found a virtual twin in the young lady who goes by the moniker Late Bloomer. It is always a good thing to find a like minded cohort. Bless you, your family and all of your friends. Have the very best day possible and I will talk to you again, hopefully soon.

Nomi, it is a good thing that I don't have to wait much longer for your birthday, because I am busting at the seams, (not literally tho, hahaha) So thanks for always building your lil sis up, as you seemed to have always picked up on the emotional strength that I sometimes lack when my integrity has been put on the line. I guess just knowing that you are honest isn't always going to be enough, but having a brother who would challenge any bully on the grounds, is a gift from Heaven. Thanks for always being that gift.
Comment from Terry Broxson
LOL, I was trying to figure out what the SOTU was all about as I read the poem, but I never got close to getting it. In the end, it did make sense. Margaret is a good one. Well done. Terry.

I should have never thought of posting after spending a night of falling asleep at the keyboard. Many improvements have been made to both of them since yesterday and got another new one that I threw together within the last half hour. Weird how that can happen yet stay up all night for my SOTU.
Truthfully that is what happens whenever I overthink anything. That is why I always do best if I take my story right off an email I send you. Lol
Comment from Kerry L Batchelder
What a beautiful tribute to your dear friend. It is well written too. It is light, happy and playful. I too have "sister" friends with that same type of relationship so it touched my heartstrings immensely. Great job!

Kerry, you are so amazingly sweet. I appreciate your kindness so much. I need to come over and meet you first hand, but am waiting for eye surgeries and then will be able to review more myself. Thank you again for such a wonderful review, words and six stars.

Awe, from one of the greatest sunshine's of my life. I am thinking about another smaller group of those that I have so much love for and of course you are there in a minute. Yet I fear hurting someone's feelings. Still thinking and have ten days yet to decide what to do. Thanks my love for such a great review of Margaret..... and you my Darling Regina, I love you with all my heart.

Love you my friend! :))))))
Comment from jmdg1954
Okay Debi, I have a few issues with your post:
1) it's only 5:45am and your already cost me one of the few six stars Tom gives us (well deserved),
2) you gotta get the coffee mug yo market, you'd make a fortune (we can sign the contract later)
3) why are you such a dang good writer? (Please never stop)
Margaret aka LateBloomer and I go way back (the past few months) and she is wonderful. Always a kind word in her reviews, pointing out a few special lines she enjoys. Very thoughtful. Oh by the way, an excellent writer for sure!
We actually are neighbors. Not next door neighbors but within a few towns apart neighbors. Small world, huh?
Thank you for writing this poem and sharing with us the bond you two have garnered here of FS. It's fantastic to hear.
Enjoy your Sunday!
John

John if you ever write a book on your most famous review quotes, I will fight anyone for the chance to be first in line. Watch out people!!
I just see your name and get excited so you have no idea how much I love hearing from you. Thanks for the review, kind words and lovely six stars. I have a plan dear friend that if I can get you when you are still half sleeping, I can get my sneaky fingers on your stars, without you barely knowing what you are doing. Hahahahahahahahaha!

You know, the world needs more Debi Pick Marquette?s!
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
So, Sisters Of The Universe? I'm betting that you are the one who came up with that? You mention that you get together over coffee - wouldn't it be nice if you really could? If we all could. Maybe we should think of starting a Zoom group in the future in which we meet "for coffee" once a month.
Margaret is one of my fave people here, as well. Always sweet and quick to share her own personal stories. Thanks for writing about her - love the coffee cup image you've used here:-)

Well from a sister if the universe to a sister of being born the same day, I have to ponder this as they are both pretty darn close relationships! Still writing different scenarios with the women here for the next ten days however.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Sisters of the universe, that's lovely. I have one with Damommy, SATP sister across the pond. I love her like a sister. I enjoyed reading this one, Debs, all the things that are the same between you, age, children, so much, so, yes you are, SOTU. Loved this, well done, my friend. :))) Sandra xx

From a sister of the universe and a sister who I met here first, that seems like a toss up of what stories I should write about next. I have ten more days of honoring women here. May even do one of my favorite women here at home.
You are so special dear Sandra and treasure the day I found you.
