This brings back childhood memories. Beautiful picture and I like the different colored text for each verse,it goes so well with the picture. You are right about Fanstory, a great place for poets. Love and best wishes NanaGaye

I'm writing this review on behalf of Joyce Kilmer. Not with her approval mind you, but I'm sure she'll approve of my message. I have no doubt she'll be supremely flattered by the thought of one of Fanstory's most gifted poets so graciously giving credit to her famous poem. I feel she will be looking down with an appreciative smile of thanks on her face.

    Bob, you are so incredibly sweet!! I just want to give you the biggest hug right now. I appreciate this review more than you could ever know.
    I have to let you know that Joyce Kilmer was a man. An easy mistake to make, and numerous people have been thinking the same thing.

    Like what kind of a name is Joyce for a man? I oughta know how stupid that is, since I have a sister and my mother's name was Joyce. So it still seems weird to me too.
    But thank you again for one of the loveliest reviews ever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! Also for the honor of the six stars!! You're the best!!
    Love, Debi

    Don't say nice things, just send money. Just twenty's or fifty's, notes not coins. Your reviews are very much appreciated.

    Hi Sweet Girl, this poem says what so many of us have always said...that we are a family on FanStory...

    I'm betting that so many on here tell
    more of their secret lives to this family...than their own...

    so good to see you my wonderful friend...and your always soooo welcome...love your more...xxoo
    🤗💝🙏🌼😘

This is just an incredible poem overall, that I relate to a lot. I, too, have a hard time writing poetry without rhymes, use writing as escapism, and grew up obsessed with Dr. Seuss. Speaking of rhymes, the ones in this piece are very nice and the poem flowed very well.

Great artwork and presentation for this delightful poem referencing Joyce Kilmore's "Trees" which is one of my favorite as well as Dr. Suess.
Happy to read your adaptation.

Well done Debi.
Blessings

Hello, Debi,

What an interesting poem about the poetic form of art for the finding your muse club. I'm proud of you. Dr Seuss is my favorite too.

The presentation is beautiful.

Well done

    Yes, Trees has always been my favorite poem because it was the one that I read and loved so young. I am surprised that so many had never heard of it before and thought it to be about trees and yet it wasn't.

    Marival, I thank you for the kindest words ever! To hear that you are proud of me makes my whole day, week, month, hell, maybe my whole year. LOL
    I mean that from the bottom of my heart!! Thanks again.
    Lotsa love and hugs!! Debi

very nice and wonderfully illustrated. One can never tire of the mighty tree and all that it can inspire. And to think that we sometimes refer to an element of the tree as 'bark'. Couldn't we have found a softer word to describe a protective coat?

-Very nice artwork and presentation, Debi.
-Your notes are appreciated, and I have
no idea who said trees was two syllables.
-I also agree with your choice to change "fools."
-I like the style of your poem, the font choices,
repetition of the first line, imagery and rhyme.
-There is a lot to like in your poem, from
poems that haunted you to Dr. Seuss and his great rhymes,
and the concluding verses about our special FanStory community.
-Very well done; thanks for sharing it.

Nice poem Debi! I do love FanStory and I'm pretty much still a newbie! We are all friends in love with words. (Friends for life!)
I love the picture and font choice too!
