Good morning, Poet:

You have taken an interesting approach to this Thank you contest. It is a very smart idea to thank you thumb. You included in this brief poem the many reason why we should be grateful that we have thumbs. In your case, you were thanking the one more than the other. I really liked this creative and thoughtful idea because it made me think about this subject. Most Poets would possibly think think thank some person or company but you have thought to thank something that, to me, is so necessary. This is a great entry for this contest. I hope you do well, my friend.

    Well, another extolling review by Tier V. King!

    Yes, I thanked the right thumb, because he's much more dependable than the other one, who, bless him, does try his best. Most folks take their thumbs for granted, so I decided to recognize mine publicly. (Or at least with FanStorians.)

    I have another thank-you available tonight, and I award it to you for your generous compliments. Thank you, Tier!
    (Keep appreciating those thumbs.)

    Thank you, Tier.

    Don

    You are too funny but I appreciate it. Thank you for the smiles and I will thank my thumbs also, my right thumb more than my left. (lol)

Dear Anonymous Poet;
Very clever! I really had no idea who you were thanking so profusely. Once you brought up thumbs, the entire piece made complete sense.

Good luck in the contest,

~patty~

    That's what I hoped would come across. Thanks for telling me, Patty.

Wow, this is so creative, original and clever. What a concept! If I am reading this poem correctly, you are thanking your thumb?

I could be way off base with my interpretation. Thus, forgive me if you thanking someone else or something else.

Regardless, the poem is well-written.

Good luck in the contest.

    You are not off base. Thumb, it is, and your first line is all we need consider. You read the piece just as I hoped the reader would, trying to make sense of it for a couple of stanzas, until running into the satori in the third.

    Thank you for your most rewarding comments, Poetic Friend (may I call you Friend, for short?).
