Yes, I'm a mess already. I will miss her so much. She's
such a sweetheart. I hopeful for her return too, Nicki.
A lovely poem to bless her as she goes. I'm sure she
will treasure it forever.

Sending you my best today as always.

This is a beautiful tribute to Debbie and reflects the feelings of everyone here on Fanstory who have enjoyed her wonderful poems and her great reviews. She will definitely be missed and I hope someday she will return. Your poem is rhymed beautifully and has perfect meter. Thank you for sharing.

It's a sad day to hear of a fellow writer who leaves the site. It becomes even sadder when the writer has become a close friend.

Your poem is filled with well wishes for Debbie. There's always hope of her return...

Well done. You've written a truly beautiful poem for Debbie, and she will love it. She will be greatly missed. Her writing is nothing short of brilliant, as are her reviews. I echo every word you wrote, and I too just posted a piece for her book. (I'm not very good at poetry, so mine is in letter format.) I will miss her greatly. You 've honoured her with your poem.

    I know Wendy, there'll be a gaping hole without her on here! She's been so good to me since I started, such a wonderful person and writer.

    Thanks for your very kind review.

Thank you for this lovely poem for Debbie! We all will miss her wonderful biographical poems and she herself has many stories she hasn't shared with us yet. So I'm hoping she'll be back and whatever health and family reasons will be resolved soon.

    We will all miss her and her brilliant poems, I looked forward every Sunday to sit with a coffee and carefully read the poem and fab notes to further give us a history lesson, I love them! She's been a great friend, hopefully she'll get her butt back soon :) and that all will be well with her and the family.
    Thanks for a lovely review

Well put together and a nice tribute to an excellent poet. Her biographical topics are so impressive and informative. I have been surprised that she is leaving. Lets hope she is not away too long.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is absolutely lovely, Nicki. I love how you pour your sentiments for Debbie out in this poem. Identifying her as the biographical star and I love your comment about going through withdrawal from her. That is for sure. This was positively beautiful and I think you also used my favorite font of dancing spirits or dancing something. Thank you but you did not have to cancel your book. I am here for you if you ever need something. And by the way, Debbie will love this poem.
Love, Debi
