A very well-written poem/story. Mikey is a very nice guy and is always ready to guide and encourage, whatever a writer might need. Hooray! for Mikey.

Great poem, but reduce the spacing. more black space than verse. I like Michael. God, I would give any thing for that hair. You can't go wrong with Michael.

I havde a feeling you reviewed this before or might have been a similar comment you made. Thanks Won't hit ya with the Siggy again. Will look at the poem for spacing.

reply by the author on 02-Sep-2016

Hey mate have a look again I reduced the spacing a tad. Thanks for the suggestion.

This is a very interesting poem you have penned. I, myself, don't like to rant much anymore. I tend to praise the Lord or write about family and Greyson. I don't know a lot about Mikey but I will have to check him out sometime. Good imagery and wording. Teri

Ah well Sis we all have our favourite things we write about. I do enjoy all the wonderful witnessing of Bro s and Sisters on here. Michael Cahill is also a Bro in the Lord as well. Been a wonderful mentor to me in my over 3 years on Fanstory. Tom just cut my water off for promoting this poem in my Profile so oh well it was in honour of a good friend. Lord Bless

reply by Teri7 on 01-Sep-2016

I agree, Mikey is a great part of the FanStory team. He's funny, clever and creative. I'm sure he is touched by this tribute.

Your poem is cute and lively--one that leaves you with a smile!

Well done,
Rhonda

Thanks Rhonda, written along time ago. Michael Cahill has been one of my mentors ever since I joined FS back in July just over 3 years ago. We have so much in common it would surprise you even on opposite sides of the world. Been flashing my lovely Siggy Dean Kuch made for me. Tom saus not allowed on reviews but Dean says should be ok on Replies hehe!

reply by davisr (Rhonda) on 01-Sep-2016

Dean's another one of those clever guys who will do anything for you. Great talents, both of them, and you as well, my friend!

I love the signature guy!!

reply by the author on 01-Sep-2016

Couldn't agree more, Sankey. Mikey is a mover and a shaker and he's also has some totally excellent ideas for FanStory.

This is a terrific poem in tribute to him so thank you so much for sharing.

I quite enjoyed this because every word of it is true. :))

Thanks Gloria the idea to put it up again for some of my newer friends on Fanstory hit me this morning after a review of my other new offering (A Rant hehe) by another great friend. Cheers and now my siggy that Tom does not like on Reviews but Dean Kuch says he should not get up set on Replies hehe!

Comment from Brett Matthew West

Well written tribute sure he will enjoy.

There is always room for improvement with anything, including this site.

If Tom would only listen to some of the recommendations.

Thanks Barb actually it was your review on my other poem reminded me of this fella whom I have known since I joined FS. He has and always will be one of my top mentors. We have so much in common, even from opposite sides of the globe it just ain't funny!

Hey Sankey. This is a very fine tribute to Mikey. Sounds like a very interesting man. I know he writes VERY well and he seems to have the personality of most writers: sensitive, thoughtful, and constantly desiring to get even better. All good things.

Peace,

Mike

Hi Mike glad you had a look. He and his wife are full time carers i their own home for some intellectually handicapped folks. I know he loves them like they are their own family. I was so pleased to meet him in my very early FS days he was so helpful and so encouraging and we discovered we are around the same age and have a lot in common. Even including being a couple of whacko's hehe! Thanks for coming by and reading my tribute to a sweel guy.

reply by mikemagine on 31-Oct-2014

My pleasure, Sankey. Wow, sounds like Mikey and wife are very compassionate, caring people!

Peace,

Mike

reply by the author on 31-Oct-2014

Just read the Solomonic teaching poem so do I gather we are bros in the Lord as well MIkey and I are also. You would enjoy reading some of his stuff from way back. His family story is most interesting.

reply by mikemagine on 31-Oct-2014

Thanks for telling me more about Mikey. I'll have to look into his stuff!

Yes, I am a Christian. Glad to meet you, brother!

Peace!

Mike

reply by the author on 31-Oct-2014

You will be surprised at the number of believers in here mate. We are probably not all the same Denomination I am Baptist myself I think Mikey might be more of a Non Denom or something. LIke I always say Christian first baptist second.

reply by mikemagine on 31-Oct-2014

Yes, I sort of am surprised at how many Believers there are on this site. You're right: denomination matters much less than whether or not one is a committed believer in Christ.

NICE POEM. I LIKE THE FRIENDSHIP AND CAMARADERIE IT SUGGESTS AND THE USE OF INTERESTING ANALOGIES AND WORDS TO GET SOME RHYME AND/OR RHYTHM LIKE PADDOCK AND HADDOCK. IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE PEOPLE IN ANY MOVEMENT WITH VISIONARY IDEAS ON HOW TO MOVE THE MOVEMENT FORWARD.WELL DONE MIKEY!VERY WELL WRITTEN. GREAT JOB.
