Fanstory has changed the hum drum lives of many a person, including me. We have a purpose and something to do, and friends we would not have otherwise enjoyed the pleasure of meeting. I'm glad we can be friends!
Thanks for sharing.

    Hello handsome.Thanks for the read. I am happy here, and this place contributes to my health and well being. I knew zip about poetry when I got here. Folks gave me warmth when my Momma passed, and helped me not sink. You are my family. Weird cousins and all. I hope I have helped others as they have helped me. :-) Karen

Good deal, Karen. I, too, have been reborn since joining Fanstory. I have made new friends and increased my writing skills. You only use a few words but succinctly say how you have changed, which is hard to do. Good luck with the contest! I'm sure they will see what I see heartfelt poetry of the highest order.

    Today is a good day for me kind of. I am sore from doing too much yesterday, but, I am here on fan story writing, so that is good. :-)

Hi Karen,
It is amazing what writing and new friends can add to your life.
This is good use of few syllables to get your point across.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a stupendous Sunday and rest of the week.

I believe many FS members would say the same thing. I am thankful for all the support and kindness I have received. We're a family of sorts, and though we may disagree at times, we should always remember to be kind. It just might make someone's day!

Smiles and hugs, my friend.
Carol

    I know you have, Karen. And I hope that I do the same. As I age, I look for a connection with warmth and caring and prefer to leave the drama and harshness behind. My love is writing and sharing.
    Smiles, Carol

    I would also say, I have left drama behind. And, I am so glad I did , What a waste of time. And demanding perfection is a horrid way to spend a life. I do the best I can, and do not make excuses. Life should be lived not endured. And on that happy note, Thank you for being my friend. Karen

    I fully agree with you, Karen. If a revolution starts, I'll be heading for the hills where its peaceful. Hope to see you there.

Your poem, Karen is a story many here can relate with. Fanstory has been helpful in meeting new helpful people, filled with kind words. Thanks for sharing your lovely poem.

This twenty-syllable poem, Chage of View, has the proper formatting and finds that a step in the "write" direction can offer a better perspective on life.

Yes, it does seem that way, I know that I knew little or nothing about poetry when I joined fanstory I cringed every time I posted, but I'm so glad I did, great friends and an outlet for my writings. A wonderful post Karen, blessings Roy

This is cute. I'm happy I found FanStory too. I never expected to get to know people in distant places that seem closer than those I see often. We are all still kids at heart and we need to find ways to have fun.
