A tribute to a special friend named Day30 total reviews
Comment from LJbutterfly
Day sounds like a delightful, caring person who adds sunshine wherever she goes. She sounds like she never dwells on bad stuff or holds anger and resentment. You are fortunate to have such a friend. I like her.

Hi, Jesse. What a lovely story. You're lucky to have had so many incredible, impactful people in your life, and they're lucky you have such a beautiful way of expressing your admiration and appreciation - and, also, that you have the desire to.
I enjoyed your use of simile (i.e., "elusive as a butterfly," "bright as a summer's day").
Your well-chosen words ("floats," "wanderlust") suggest Day possesses an appealingly ethereal, sprite-like quality. Enjoy the lovely relationship you've forged.

Thanks, Michele. I also love your way with words in this review. I appreciate the examples you chose of similes and well-chosen words.
Ethereal is not a word one hears used very often, and I love that description of my friend, Day. Sprite-like quality shows you are well versed in your vocabulary choices.
I shall enjoy my friendly relationship as I enjoy ours. Your faithful reviews I count on to let me know how it comes across.
I would say you like this one as you gave me five generous stars and I thank you, my friend!
Have a beautiful rest of your week!
Jesse

Thanks, Jesse. People should be honored, as I am, to be your friend, because you take your friendships very seriously, and invest so much into them.

Yes, Michele, I try to make my friends feel as though they walk on air!
I have a few friends, and they are the ones who are precious to me!
Thanks for being one of them!
Jesse

What a lovely tribute to your friend, Jessie, and I love that her name is Day. She sound to me like a friend we all want, and I'm sure some have. (I have, on FS.) It's lovely that you enjoy so much of each other, your stories, your chats, everything that makes life better. You are so lucky to have found each other. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your beautiful poem, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

I enjoyed reading your tribute poem, Jesse. I read it three times.
Each time I come away with the same feeling. I believe you are
describing the dawn of a new day. Each day brings new adventures
if one has an open mind. There are so many great things to see, do,
and feel.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Hi Jan! I love your interpretation of this tribute, but the truth is she is real. Day is all the things I mentioned and more besides. Thanks for having an open mind!
Thanks for understanding as well.

Congratulations, you seemed to describe an independent woman. She appears creative, a person of compassion. It seems you won the lottery when you met that lady.

Well, I don't partake in the lottery but I appreciate the kind thought. Yes, she is compassionate and creative and I am the luckiest man in the world!
Elusive to the core I never know when I will see her again but that is part of the thrill of knowing her!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Day seems like a very special person that you are lucky to have in your life. I am pretty sure Day is as lucky to have you as you are to have her. I sure hope we get to know more about this very special person.

Maybe you will, Barbara. If I keep getting this kind of feedback I might write another piece about her in the future! We are both lucky to have each other that is for sure!
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Have a very pleasant day,
Jesse

You have indeed found a special friend and you have found the words to describe the Day you see. Good friends can bring the best out in us and your friend Day seems to be the one who can do it. Lovey tribute. Well done Jesse. Nancy:)

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is such a delightful and vividly descriptive poem, a moving character sketch of the type of friend anyone would be blessed to have! One comment (meant kindly): You said, "She wants to walk where her feet touch the earth." Since her feet WOULD touch the earth when she walks, I wonder if you left out a word.

Comment from Terry Broxson
This is a well-written piece on a couple of levels. First, maybe there really is a mysterious lady named "Day." She comes by to see you and brightens everything.
Or maybe she is a metaphor for "day." Every day you get to look forward to the good things that it brings.
Either way, "day or Day" brings you more than you had before. Exceptionally well written! Terry.

Wow, Terry, you have given me new faith in myself and my writing! Thank you so much for the wonderfully evocative review and exceptional rating! Evocaning more than I saw in it myself, I now see how you see it and laugh to myself wondering the same thing! Thanks for making me realize how far I have gone astray!
Have an incredible week!
Jesse

LOL, you are welcome. I am still laughing about what you said yesterday about my writing improving after I started interviewing Humpwhistle and Giraffmang.
Next week is Ric Myworld, and I promise a couple of surprises about him people don't know.
After that, my writing will fall off, so be kind, LOL, Terry.

I am so looking forward to it, Terry!
And thanks again!
Jesse
