This poem, Fifty Years, is a great send up for the Golden Anniversary couple who have weathered a half century of the world to find themselves together and here with us. Nice.

This is a lovely tribute to the long-lasting marriage of Glen and Debi. I like the references to post-it notes and Rubik's Cubes, invented 50 years ago. Clever to include those. I'm glad their bond is forever. Hugs, Carol

    Appreciate the many stars!

It's nice to write something for Debi, she is always writing poems for other people. 50 years together, wow! That's a lifetime. Well done

    Yes, we are thankful for Debi, our birthday poet here. She helps build up a sense of community. You do that as you teach us about short poetry forms! Appreciate you, MariVal!

Hi Helen, as promised I am back to give the poem you wrote for us a much deserved six stars. However, as much as I am still thanking you and everyone, I copied my initial reaction, because that is what I want to see whenever I look at this lovely poem. But I forgot to add that I did not know it took fifty years for acorns to come alive and must be why so many are falling in our yard the last year or two. And I love the reference to Rubik's cube and post it notes.

Anyway, Here is how it made me feel.

OMGoodness, Helen, I had no idea when I clicked on your writing that you had written for us too. I am beyond touched, I have cried tears of joy, laughter and am slightly overwhelmed, but mostly because of disbelief for all the wonderful poems and greetings. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, dear sister and friend. I love you so much. I will be back Sunday with this as a review because I want you to see just how I felt at the moment I read it. Thank you again. Love you, Debi

Another nice congrats poem for Debi and Glen. I'm sure she's loving them as she does so many for all of us. I hope they have many more years together. So many changes in those 50 years in our world, while their love still keeps on growing. Nice one Helen,
Cheers

This is a wonderful poem and tribute to Debi and Glen that I'm sure they will appreciate. Each stanza is well crafted as to rhyme and meter and
speaks to the strength of their bond over 50 years.

Another sweet gesture, lyenochka. And I enjoyed the reference to post it notes and Rubik's cube. The only thing that I remember that happened in 1974 is that Nixon resigned.
Congratulations Debi and Glen.

    Ah, that's true. But I didn't want to bring politics to the poem! Lol. OF course, as a lawyer you would remember!
    Thanks so much, Debbie!
    Hugs!
