Hi Debi,
It's one thing to know your public so well, but another thing to put their bio in rhyme. No prob for you, though, eh? Queen of Birthday Poems, INC.
I'm going to take a guess. I think this might be me...
"A poet friend from Canada, and he's so very dear"
If I'm right, I'm flattered!
If I'm wrong, I'm shattered! LOL.

Nicely penned!
Hugs,
Kimbob

    YES, you got it dear Kimbob! Of course it is for you and I know I forgot some people but could not forget you. So please be flattered because it was written with friendship and love. And thank you for the nice things you said about the poem. You are the best! Love, Debi

Hi Debi, I never saw this poem. Now I wish I had. Not because you included me, although that was very sweet but because you paid tribute to so many on this site. I really appreciate that.
By the way, I'm a Danish citizen, grew up there. I now live in Spain, but I'm half American. My brother and I share the same father, lol.
Thank you so much for including me. Ulla xcx

    Dang, you're sweet, and you could have been a few of these. But the Spain one was for Gypsy. I knew you were from Spain too though. However, the one that I wrote for you was in the same stanza and I think on top line.

    I hope that one means more. Thanks so much for reviewing this and for your lovely six stars. I didn't expect either. I just wanted you to know it was there. So thanks again, my very dear friend. Lotsa love and hugs. Debi

    Haha, So I got it wrong. Lol. I have to read it again. What a gaffe. Xcx

    Ah, I see it now. It was the pen name that threw me. My first name is actually Ulla. Xc
reply by the author on 19-Sep-2024
    LOL, Yeah, I didn't name anyone so made it a guessing game. But yours was the one that said we were great friends with respect. And that is truly how I feel about you.

Hey Debi!

This is wonderful! I think I recognized a few people in there. I may be wrong, but was this one about me?

"Already he's become a friend, and he is recent news"

If not, please let me know which! You are like the Town Crier, Community Organizer, and Welcome Committee all rolled up into one! Thank you for including me in this, especially since I am so new. (This is day number 15, by the way.)

Thank you for all you do for so many!
Patrick

    Hahahaha! Patrick, you most certainly got the line right.
    It was an honor to put you in there as you are such a fun guy and I liked you from the start. Besides the fact that you want to take my chatterbox title away from me. haha.

    Well I hope that day # 15 is a happy one and all of those that led up to it.
    Thanks for all the very kind comments and I know a few are out of meter, but I got tired by about the fortieth one. LOL. Thanks again. Love, Debi

Debi, that was charming. I picked out Sally, Carol, Botts, Jim, Roy, Marilyn, and many more of the people who I have also become friends with here. Am I the late bloomer? I was not quite sure if I was that one or not? Was I there? Esther

    Hi there. You did so well at guessing, Esther. I love your beautiful picture. You are so lovely. As far as the people in my poem, I had to put all the new women in one line together in order to get all the friends that have been here for so long. I hope you don't mind but I did give you a bid compliment. As I have never gotten so close to relatively new people so fast as I did you, Nicki B, Brenda, and Katie. All lovely ladies who I already love so much. Go read your line because it may be a little different than last time. It says something about how well you all mix.

    But thanks for the comments for everyone. You are such a sweetheart. Thanks again, my dear friend. Love, Debi

    Thanks. I am honored to know so many of the people you mentioned. Great bunch here. Esther

What a neat thing for you to do, and that's a lot of rhymes, Miss Debi! BTW, have you ever counted up your All Time Bests? I bet you've got the all time record!
I found the line with pome in it but I don't get the 911 part. Could you explain, please ma'am? You know I'm getting older and my thinking's getting slower. Anyway, thank you!

    Oh, hon, each person only got one line. So yours said that you had pome in your name and you were lots of fun. But the next line was for Janet Foor who worked where a plane went down and she helped to warn people about the 911 tragedy... Do you understand what I am saying?

    And LOL, I don't have to count my ATBs because all of my posts got one. I am very close to my next milestone. I only have 12 left to go. I can't remember what milestone it will be but I think it is 400 or 500. And that is how many ATBs I should have. Or close. There may have been a few without in the beginning. Huh, maybe I should count. LOL.
    I will talk to you after I look. Let me know if you understand about the line about 911 being for someone else. Sometimes I just don't explain it right.
    Lotsa love and hugs. Debi
reply by pome lover on 18-Sep-2024
    of course, I do, I just thought each person got two lines and couldn't tell about the others.

    That is ok, that happens to me all the time. It has been a lot lately as I have trouble seeing. But at least with my iPad I can make things bigger. We don't know if the blindness is temporary or not yet. I spent the first three weeks in his office every day and now three times a week. They are working hard to clear the infections and abrasion and they think that will take months. Then they are almost positive the cornea will be scarred so it is pretty sure I will need a cornea transplant.

    sounds like it will take a while to find out. I wish you the best results. whatever it takes will be worth it if it helps your vision.

    Hi Santha, I hope that you didn't mind me saying your name was like the jolly old elf from up north somewhere. That is all I could think of at the time that you have the coolest place I could have used too. Take care and please know how much I cherish our friendship. Lotsa love, Debi

    No not at all. I noted that and I could recognise the person who always says"keep writing . And also the 'gem'.
    Thanks again.

Australian funny girl, that's me. I loved how you put this all together. "True friends are like diamonds, precious and rare. False ones like autumn leaves, found everywhere." There were no autumn leaves in your National Thank You Day. Twinkle, twinkle little diamond, I send my love to you. Kace XX

    Thanks again, sweet friend. Love, Debi

    We have met before in another life, I feel. Which state do you live in? They missed Trump again. Third time maybe??
