Hi Country Rach Writer,
I haven't been on the site much this year so I've missed much of your writing. I was happy to see your name pop up because I was just wondering about you a couple days ago and if you were still writing. I am delighted to see that you are.
Thank you so much for dropping in to read and review. I appreciate your feedback.

Oh this is awful that I don't have any sixes left for you today. I'm so kicking myself. This is an absolutely gorgeous poem, Debi! Seriously!! It's not in any contest so I'm predicting it will get a nomination for poem of the monh. If it doesn't get nominated then I'd be disappointed. Your message brings tears to my eyes. I love that God is talking to you, the girl in the picture. It's just so breathtaking with a beautiful message. Le sigh...

Thank you, Joy.
I appreciate the sentiment both of the virtual six and the poem of the month nomination. You are so sweet to say that. I am honored that this poem touched you and brought tears to your eyes. Good bless.

Wow! I haven't got a single corrective criticism. The rhyme and meter are perfect, the idea of the poem is beautiful, and the flow is beyond reproach. You're an excellent poet, and I look forward to reading more of your work.

I only discovered FanStory recently, and am happy to say that the four poems I've submitted have gotten only 5-star reviews but, in all honesty, I thought your poem was better than any of mine. I hit most of the marks, but you hit them all. Therefore, rating your work what mine were rated would have been a disservice to you.

Comment from Ogden

Excellent

Your poem is carefully wrought, with precise meter and exceptional rhyming, more impressive for having to compromise either, by straying from your loving message.

Nice work, W.J.!

You're very welcome Debi. I'm pleased to meet you.

In re-reading my comments, I just noticed I accidentally omitted the word 'not' before 'having to compromise.' Your sincerity was quite evident.

reply by the author on 20-Jun-2018

I understood. I seem to do that quite often myself. Or spellcheck changes the meaning completely.

reply by Ogden on 20-Jun-2018

yes, that spellcheck can be sneaky about it, too.

What a lovely poem and a great tribute to girls (or boys as you mentioned). I love the lessons it conveys and the emotions it prompts. Well-written and a joy to read.
