I love how beautifully upbeat this is - absolutely spot on as a tribute to Gert, who's reviewed my varying efforts since I fist joined in 2008. She will be missed, but always fondly.

Robert, this is a beautifully written poem, and I appreciate the thought and intent behind it. I didn't know Gert had passed away. We've lost so many friends on this site. It makes me sad, but I know she would be so deeply honored by this lovely poem.
Thanks for sharing the poem, and, to me, the news.

Hello Rhoda.Thank you for the wonderful review for my tribute poem for Gert. We shared a New England connection, as I spend summer in Rhode Island, attended college in Massachusetts and went on vacations to her home state of Vermont. She was a lifetime year-round Vermonter. I appreciate the encouraging comments and the stars very much, my friend.
Best wishes to you.

Oh my goodness, Robert!
What a beautiful and moving tribute to Gert.
I had no idea she was ill as I have not been very active on the site this summer.
She was always so positive and kind to me.
Thank you for sharing...

Hello Diane,
Such sad times, we've lost so many of the best.
Thank you for the exceptional review, I'll pass it on to Gert.
I spend summers as a child in Rhode Island and went to college in Massachusetts, so Gert and I shared a New England connection.
She loved Vermont.
I haven't been on the site much myself, posting only one poem, though I may post a story I recently wrote. I'll check for your latest poem.
Thanks again.
Best wishes.
Robert
