You didn't fool around with this one. Anyone would be fooling to think so.
Do you remember this song
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love so how are they to know
When we met I felt my life began
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in.
Great poem and great picture presented my a wise and wonderful person

This is a lovely poem for Nomi's birthday and I'm sure it's given him a birthday smile. This was a fun finish with the choice between Istanbul or Paula Abdul. LOL
Well done, Debi.
Cheers
Valda

I always enjoy reading your writing, and this poem is no exception. I enjoyed your poem deeply, it's heartfelt, clever, and full of genuine affection. You have woven warmth, wit, and wisdom into every stanza, making it both a tribute and a toast to someone truly special. Your rhymes are smooth and your rhythm is steady. Your words carry so much heart. You have painted a portrait of a man who is not only super wise and a great guy, but someone who lifts others up with kindness, humor, and sincerity.
Your poem balances humor and heart in just the right way. Wonderful job as always with your writing. You continue to show that poetry can both celebrate and heal.

Nomi can have a hundred birthday poems. He is such a great person. Your words are a fitting tribute. I like your verse about how non-judgemental he is and how he is such a good reviewer. Excellent birthday poem that is enjoyable to read.

This poem, No Fooling for Nomi's Birthday, captures the multi-published poet on what must be his birthday on or around April Fool's Day. That explains so much.

    Hi Bill, yes his birthday is April 2nd so since he had a biographical one already, I tried to make it fun but there aren't enough things that made sense to rhyme with fool. But it was fun. Which remind me that yours is a little over a month away. If you are interested, let me know.
    LOL, I memorize friends birthdays here better than in my other life.

    Thanks so much for the fun review. Nomi will love it.
    Love, Debi

Such a wonderfully created birthday poem for a truly wonderful and much-loved poet and friend. You are so good at these poems and I always enjoy reading them but this one is especially clever, I think. Thank you for doing this. Your poems are often exceptional so I'm glad I still had six stars to give. MM

Aww! Thank you for this tribute to Nomi! I am grateful we have our big brother, Nomi, here. He is a thoughtful reviewer and when he writes, he shares his wisdom. And he's doing amazing while he still misses his Yvonne. Hope he celebrates everyday!
