A very nice poem about a person who I don't really know. The flow is good. The images are strong. The narrative stays on point. The language is conversational and warm.
Thanks for sharing.

What a thoughtful poem, and well done -- something for Jesse to keep as a reminder, and he will no doubt enjoy it, as I have. Thank you for the update. Well done!

Comment from Michael Cassar
A sympathetic reader. Jesse will do well. I had a knee replacement three years ago. I delayed my decision hoping that steroids would make me feel better. Finally, I followed my orthopedic surgeon's advice and went through with the surgery. Now, I am glad, I can keep up with my grandchildren, enjoy daily walks, and pool enjoyment. Good luck.

Hi .Michael. Thanks for the kind review and comments for
Jesse. I pray that he will get extra healing by the caring wishes of you and so many others,
Just a little fyi; I did change the verse l wrote for you in my FS friend poem. And once, so sorry for my misinformed line.
Comment from Gloria ....
Such a very thoughtful thing for you to write a fine poem for Jesse. Hopefully you have heard back from by now as we are all awaiting his return.
This is a fine rhyming poem and I wish you great luck with the voters.

Comment from LateBloomer
Hello author, Jesse, one of our very own, has struggled with his knee(s). He was anxious about having the surgery, but when he gets to walk his very first steps, it will be exhilarating. Your poem reads and flows well, and your message is clear. Of special note:
It may not be too easy, but it surely will feel right
To know he'll walk again; his future's looking bright
(I can't wait for him to write about his new experiences once he gets walking again. He has so many places to go and so many dreams and desires bottled up. It's like waiting for the Genie to be released from the bottle.)
Thanks for putting his photo on top of the poem. Now everyone will know exactly who you are writing about. A poem of hope and a future to be filled with with new adventures. Well done. Thank you for sharing.
As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

Not that I was leaving the best for last, but I did anyway! Thanks so much for the kind messages for Jesse and also for my poem. And of course how very sweet of you to give it six stars. I appreciate it so much Margaret, and if I ever hear from Jesse, I know that he will to. Now that the contest is over, I can tell you that this is your tsotu!! And I do so thank you again my sweet friend.
Comment from GARY MACLEAN
What a nice "Pep" song for a friend. He can't help but heal with that on his mind. I had my left knee done and it took weeks, but, yes, it was worth it.
Para 2, 3rd sentence: (real) should be (really)
Good luck Jesse.

Thanks so much Gary for the very kind review of Jesse's poem and for your info. I do know all too well what it and a more in-depth surgery is like. Not fun I'm sure for you either. Haven''t heard from him yet, but hopefully that just means he is resting and healing. I did go edit that word, but since really messes up the rhythm I just changed it to the word too. Thanks so much for you kind words for Jesse and sweet comment for me. Much appreciated it my friend.
-
Yeah, I thought about that real vs really thing too. I think I would have stayed with rhythm as well.
Did I know this was your work when I reviewed it? I mean, was it in a blind contest?
-
No, that means the contest must be over. Last time I looked I was in 2nd place. I actually placed in three since yesterday and although 3rd doesn't bring a lot, every bit helps for promoting again. I know you have a couple pieces that I need to read, but have a lot going on right now. I'll tell about it later. Thanks for always being so kind and talk to you soon.
-
Read when you can. No hurry. Take care of life first. I did get a nomination for book of the month though, for my "What we say" book. I have never been nominated for that before.
-
Some people don't recognize greatness when they see it. However don't feel bad, my poems never have either but I think it's because of that little rebel thing that comes out in me here and there.
Same reason I only enter voters contests. Enough said Deb!! I guess I am learning when to shut up after all.
Comment from dragonpoet
This is a well done poem. Thanks for keeping us up to date, whoever you are. I am praying he will recover/rehab in record time. I am looking forward to a picture of him standing up. He told me he might change his profile picture to a standing one when he is able to walk.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck in the contest.

Hi Joan, Now that would be nice to see. He was supposed to contact me if he felt good enough after recovery, but I haven't heard anything from him yet. Which makes me worry just a bit, but I do know that it can be rough the first few days. I am sure he is just trying to recover and maybe the pain meds can make you kinda forget some things. Lol, this kinda feels like a surprise party and the guest of honor doesn't show up. Seriously tho, I know he will sure appreciate all the well wishes from everyone.
-
Yes, I hope he does change the picture too. I think you are right about him waiting until the pain of surgery is gone and the rehab is underway before he communicates with us.

I hope your Fan Story friend is recovering from his episode. A wonderful tribute to him and for us to read. There are so many fans on here that it is difficult to know every one of them.

Thanks Rosemary. I am sure you know Jesse James Doty. I haven't heard from him yet, but sure he is getting the much needed rest. Thanks again my friend.

Been there, done that twice. Not nice but better than the alternative until you fall then you discover a new irritant where the sutures lay for they are as sensitive as an exposed tooth root.

Hi Tom, I've missed you. Yeah I know what you mean, as I am still recovering from my leg reconstructions and new knee and I just looked at the calendar and realized my other one is a week from Monday. It has been a rough Summer for us as the hubby had both hips replaced and the other day was rushed to the hospital with a blood clot that went through his heart into his lung. Drs say that don't know how it didn't kill him. So thankfully he made it, but still recovering in the hospital and since you are one of my best friends here, I just felt the need to use this forum to release some of what ever it is that is building in me. Fear? Not sure and that is the worst when you don't even know what it is. Now aren't you glad that we are friends, because I wouldn't lay all this on just anyone. Actually I didn't plan that, I just started and had to keep going. Sorry and Y'know I am starting to get a little worried about Jesse, as we had it all planned that I would be his contact and he promised me he would get to me the minute he could. Yay I figured out what it is I am feeling; Anxious!!! Thanks for listening to my rant my awesome friend!! I truly appreciate it as I feel just a little bit better! : )
-
Tom, I completely forgot that this was a blind contest. Can you delete my comments or can I somehow?
-
I understand but not to the degree you and hubby do. My Lord, you two have keep Medicare in business. God bless.
-
i know how but don't sweat it. C-E-C_ will take care of it if they are alert.

Hi Gypsy, actually I haven't heard from Jesse as of yet. I just knew about how the protocol of what was going to happen. However I thought I would hear from him by the next day, as he knew I was waiting to let everyone know. Hopefully no news is good news and he is resting comfortably. I will update everyone when I hear. Thanks for the kind words for Jesse and my poem for him.
