Thank You

From my heart to yours....

Many Thanks to you….

You, who take the time to read and review

By your very presence reading these lines,

You’ve distinguished yourself to me most fine

This site is built on reciprocation

I read your poems, and leave comments or approbations

 

So many a friend with poems just written

Request reads, but does not bother submitting

Comments of praise or encouragement to others;

They allow their silence to fill and to falter

 

So, out of an abundance of Appreciation

I have decided to recognize your participation.

For, I value your time and comments most honored

It lights up my day and sharpens my candor

 

This writing is honest and direct from my heart

It is not to be mistaken for satire, sarcasm, or tart

I truly do appreciate you

For all the times you’ve read and reviewed.

 

Please know that I have made an honest effort

To read through your writing, with comments left for

Praise and thanksgiving for writing with flair

Poetry, prose, or short story fair.

 

I have tried to comment and add my thoughts

To help you fix simple syntax and naught

I’ve tried to be helpful, respectful, and bright

To help guide your writing this salient night.

 

 

Thank you, dear friends.

 

Always,

Bright Ocean Star

Awwee, Mr. Einstein. I appreciate you, as well. I am always overjoyed to see you and the others leave comments and helpful corrections. Its true that often it takes another set of eyes to see something that we miss, due only to the fact that we are too close to see it ourselves. Thank you for stopping in, my friend....:)

happens to me all the time .. ;)

I loved this. I'm rather late, but good things come, they say, right? :)

All passionate writers who built this community at the cafe can relate, understand, agree, and appreciate your words in this fine piece.

All the best,
Cyn

[Bright Ocean Star]

Thank you Cyn. I really appreciate reading your review of this one. It's really funny, because just a second ago, I was reading one of your long left reviews of an old poem I wrote late last year. It's funny, isn't it? Have a great night!

[Deuces]

No coincidences in life, my friend. I'm back after a few years. A pleasure to read you again. Enjoy your weekend!

[Bright Ocean Star]

You as well!

Thank you, Coyote. I appreciate it. Noodley is sweet to honor me with her poetry. And I am exceedingly thankful for all of you who take the time to drop in and leave such kind reviews. :)

[Coyote Poetry]

This is very sweet. I've fallen quite far behind in read requests lately (I currently have 1,073) but hopefully I will be able to keep up better.

[Bright Ocean Star]

I'm thinking about turning my Read Request off, because it is flooded with poems by some people that don't reciprocate. I usually have to just coast over their poetry, because I'm tired of not hearing from them. I do appreciate you dropping by to read this one. I talked Noodley into coming back and she's posting poetry again. It is sooooo good to see you again! Hugs!

[Brittany Zedalis]

Yeah I talked to her recently. Maybe we can get this site going again like it was before.

[Bright Ocean Star]

yes. Ana's back on, too! Now, all we need is the Pickle and my stars will be all realigned...:)

[Brittany Zedalis]

Yes..it does seem that the site is becoming a little more active again. Let's hope it stays that way or becomes even more so.

[Pash]
