This poem is a wonderful way to express appreciation to those writers who are not posting as often as they once did. I do wonder when I don't hear from folks in a while, and I wish we were notified if they are no longer continuing membership on FS. Thanks for sharing. Blessings. Carol

    I agree Carol, it would be great to know about the ones that are no longer part of the FS community. Thanks for the review, my friend.

    You're welcome. Perhaps we could ask to be notified of fans who are no longer writing on FS. I lost several fans in 2022.

Hello, Melissa,

Nice greeting and kind words to our fanstorians. They should be honored. We all have writers block once in a while. When I have a depression episode it's hard to write. Hopefully they are alright.

Gypsy hugs

    Hello Gypsy... thank you. I was pleasantly surprised to get a review from Robyn which said she came back on FS today. I hope so. I took a big break too, but it was necessary.... just had to focus on other things for a while. :)

I love your plea to these poets, as some have been absent. I miss Robyn's work as she adds a sparkle to this site. Perhaps Jim will write a sonnet for a change, that would be very good! I think Gloria posted a poem recently and of course she is very talented and greatly respected here. Your poem is humorous and endearing Melissa, I really enjoyed it. I would like to see you as top poet this year, good luck, love Dolly x

    Hello there.. thanks for the words and agreement with this verse. I had the pleasant surprise of getting a review on it from Robyn and she said it was her first day back on FS. Let's hope so!! Recently, I had reviewed a piece by Gareth, giraffmana, and a few moments ago, he responded and said thank you... a new one for me... LOL. Maybe it won't hurt to shake the FS Tree and see what falls out...haha.. thank you, again.

Lovely artwork choice, and so appropriate. I believe I heard from Gloria earlier. If Pantygnt is now writing novels, good for him. He's truly a versatile guy. He's not forgotten poetry. I've been wondering about Robyn. I sent her a card a few days ago, and I'll see if I get a reply from that. I know she sometimes goes missing for a few days, but this time it's been more like months. I'll let you know if I get a reply. We do miss these FanStory folks when we don't hear from them in a while. I'm glad you brought this up and mentioned a few names of those among the missing. Excellent rhyme and word choices. judi

    Thank you Judi... I was pleasantly surprised that Robyn gave it a review and said this is her first day back. I hope so. Maybe it won't hurt to shake the FS Tree a bit ;). Let's see what shakes out. LOL

Mel,

Wow. What an amazing poem to read on my 'first day back'. *smile* It's sad to have to take a break from time to time but it's so nice to be missed. Thank you so much for including me among these stellar writers. You're a doll! You've made my whole afternoon! Thank you!!

This is a great reminder that we do have such a wealth of talent here on this site. It would indeed be a treat to read more of their work this year. Here's hoping they respond to your cry!

A very nice request, in rhyme, to those who have been missing for a spell. I have been pestering Robyn. I was worried about her, but she says that she is okay and will return.

It's always nice when someone takes a few minutes to wish others well who are on their minds, and remind others of those who have slowed down or taken another path. Thanks for sharing.

Yay. Because of FanStory and its writers, I was able to publish a new book. I enjoy reading your poems and I find you are posting a lot more frequently.

Have a great year
