and here I thought I was a favorite. Instead, I am unsure if I was even one of ten since you left each of those mentioned unnamed. Very smart girlie. Now tell me, how are you feeling. Still, recovering at home, I hope.

    Now you know me better than that!! And the contest was to give just enough to tease and at the end we will review in author's notes. And since I started this I think I will probably either do a thread or where else could I put it?
    Wait not sure I want you to answer that!

An interesting list poem that is also an homage. The poem flows well. The narrative stays on point. The rhymes are unforced. The language warm.

Thanks for a good read.

I love it. I could venture a guess, but I would probably be wrong in most cases, because I really haven't gotten to know as many people as you do, yet. But I'm going to toss out a couple of guesses and see how close I am. In (parenthesis) is why I chose that person.

Stanza 3: Late Bloomer (Special friend)
Stanza 4: That's me, I am positive. (because)
Stanza 5: Country Ranch Writer (blind)
Stanza 6: Terry B (Interview)
Stanza 7: Jannypan (cat)
Stanza 8: Nomi338 (brother)
Stanza 9: Karenina (nurse)
Stanza 10: Roy Owen (poetry)
Stanza 11: ??
Stanza 12: Tom H (laugh)

Did I even get close?

Great idea Debi. It was fun trying to decide who was who, even if you didn't design it as a puzzle, it was fun.

    Lol! You my very bff are very good, but she did create a puzzle that even slightly confused a master like yourself! (#5 is incorrect)

    And I do totally appreciate you and your awesome review more than you could ever know.. A day w/o you in it, just isn't the same! That's why when and if there is a little spare time, I look to see if there is something I haven't reviewed of yours. And now I am a little behind so I need to get on the ball.
    Hubby's surgery was Monday and between him, therapy and HHC coming everyday, I have been busier than ever. However w the help of therapy, have been taking more steps daily and after September's surgery it will just keep getting better!

    Your "blind" clue led me right to Country Ranch Writer. There must be another blind writer on FS then. Are you eventually going to give out the answers to all ten of them? I am stumped on #9 (Stanza 11)

    You did good, at least giving us a seed of a hint to where to look and who to look for. I keep looking at the contest and think ing, maybe??? Maybe??? But I don't really think I know that many different writers on here yet to make a real poem out of it. I'm considering a last-minute effort though.

    Take care, GET BETTER, and prayers go out for both you and your husband. With enough people talking to him God wilk hear and he will respond.

    God Bless

    Thanks Gary! I left you a message that if you have a minute may need you could help me, regarding the format of my poem.
reply by the author on 14-Aug-2022
    At the end of contest we will all write in authors notes who is who. I think I will also start a thread or comment list for it. on it
reply by GARY MACLEAN on 14-Aug-2022
    Sounds good, now if only I can remember who mine were?

    Awe my dear friend, Lol, I even stumped the great detective. You did great but 6 and 10 are incorrect. Speaking of being a great detective, you simply amaze me with your talent. I read much of your first book last night and at 3AM finally had to put it down to get some sleep. But then I had such vivid dreams about it that I maybe able to add to your storyline.
    Lol, However it may be a little mixed up, so doubt I should touch what is already genius! I am excited to get back into it today.

    Thank you tho for such a lovely review and such kind comments. And I truly appreciate you gracious gift of six stars. Actually I can't thank you enough for all your gifts you have blessed me with; including the most important, your friendship!

    Aaw, my pleasure. I don't get to everyone, but there so many it could have been. I'm delighted you like my book. It gets real interesting with the WW2 flashbacks. It turns into two stories midway. Blessings dear,

I am not going to name names but I am sure I do recognise some of the people in your FanStory people write, Deb. We do become friends, and helpers on this site, it is certainly an added bonus.
cheers,
valda

It was such a pleasure reading these lines. I could see a warm smile on your face as you wrote out these thoughts. Sharing feelings and ideas are profound components of FS friends. I consider myself a newbie on the site. Yet when I read some of the very well thought and written verses, I'm extremely impressed with the intense feelings expressed in poetry, I become curious to find out more about the author. Such a diverse group of writers. Such an honor to become a member of this community.

    Thanks so much Michael! As a relatively new member you certainly do not feel that way to me. I have felt your warm presence for a while now as you have been so very kind to me and I thank you for this awesome review as well as all the other kind ones. I have a hard time finding time for a lot of reviewing, but try to get in some everyday. I hope to read one of yours soon my friend. I thank you again!.

I truly enjoyed your contest entry, that sounds like a winner. You gave great clues, like "Explains things from the Bible, she is blind, writes his life
and interviews," and, "I've learned to love her cat," and many more mysterious clues. I had great fun guessing. Best wishes in the contest.

I guess because I read a lot, I'm not sure about whom you are talking about, this may be my last year, although I couldn't break completely, but I hope you keep going dear Debi, and my prayer is that you do well in this contest, you're such a good friend to many, well done, blessings Roy

    I am deeply saddened to hear about this being your last year and I pray Roy that if you must leave, you will not deprive us completely of your presence. You were the first person that welcomed me and have been one of my dearest friends ever since. This is one contest that all are truly winners, as are those that they wrote about. Even if you couldn't identify all of my top ten, I hope you recognized yourself. Thank you Roy, for being one of the main reasons God led me here. I have been so blessed and have joy and so much love in my heart for you and others since I've been here.
    I thank you for the sweetest review and words, with your gracious gift of six stars. You my very very dear friend are one of the kindest, most special men I have ever met. And those words are put in my heart by our Heavenly Father. Thank you!

    You are such an encouragement Debi. I?ve really learnt a lot while being here, some really good writers have died in that time, some are with the Lord I?m sure, one of the reasons I?ve stayed is it?s been a big part of my life, for about 11 years now, I?ve learnt so much about poetry, it?s definitely a place I would recommend to anyone learning. I want to leave a legacy for my grandchildren and children, I?ve enough to make several books. You are a friend and an asset, not only to me, but to many Debi, you are an encourager,,keep going. How?re you feeling? Roy

    I feel like there is something you aren't saying, I truly pray that you aren't ill. I am a selfish sinner who fears death for people I love, more so than myself! Yet not trying to invade your privacy, it's just that I care deeply!
