James Fraser Poet Quatrain

Commenter's, I Thank You

Now where does this Highlander start
To thank those commenter's, present and past
So many read and absorbed
Their kindness to me always lasts

Dr.Ram and Carol Brown
My African Queen 'Miss Wilma Neel's
Michael from New York City
Whose comments I internally feel

There's Andrea, the Utah babe
And Carolyn, from Florida State
Their writing I so enjoy
For their words reverberate

John Loving is such a wonderful guy
There's Sara and Doris too
Deb Radke and Sharon Ruebel our newbies
Made welcome to our literal zoo

P.D. Skat and Constance
Barbara, Iolanda and June
Francine from lovely Nanaimo
Many thanks to all of you

To Ruben, Celene and Raul
Your past writes have helped me grow
Along with so many others
You have helped my words to flow

Blimey! I better not miss out the Brits
Sarah, Brian, Sharon and June
And Anna Marie, away down in Wales
I have read in my front room

Many dudes I also have to thank
Harry Horsman the Geordie boy
The two Roberts, Dufresne and Hinshaw
Whose writings bring so much joy

There's also the bard called Peranteau
Billy the Kidster, Cecil as well
HG, Catie Lindsey and James Goff
Who marshalls his words real swell

And lastly there's the thousands of others
This character has ran out of space
Keep the ink in you pen gently flowing
Your names to me is your face

Golly! this is turning into a story
And many told by the above writing troops
As I marvel at your writing ingredients
Keep writing for this wonderful Soup

Anna-Marie Docherty January 11, 2017 at 12:39 PM Hi James and Happy New Year to you and yours! Have literally just stumbled on this one with a search on Wales would you believe? How lovely of you to have considered including me in the poem - so kind and considerate of you and a struggle with so many followers - I'm just sorry not to have found it sooner. Good health and here's to Burn's night eh? Hope all's well...

Robert Lindley September 29, 2014 at 8:45 AM I enjoyed reading this fine write my friend. Its good to thank those that influence us. My list would have to be about two hundred verses long methinks.. Fifty years of reading and writing myself.. James Fraser September 30, 2014 at 5:47 PM I hear you Robert, as there are some wonderful people here, and long may they stay, James.......

Andrea Dietrich April 8, 2013 at 4:55 PM hey, here is one I fell upon that I had never even seen before. Thanks for giving me a shout out in this one. I hope you find the poem with a fave that I gave you. It was probably from a long time ago, but I remember I noticed your name in my fave list when I was at my member area today prior to doing another blog about my contest! If you can't find it, there will always be a part two . I am going to repeat my Faves contest when the first one ends, and hope to see you in it!!

Wilma Neels March 9, 2011 at 1:55 PM James, I came across this sweet write on your website, first time I saw it.. So I had to check it out on here and comment.. Thank you, you are the sweetest ever :) xx

Deb Radke December 27, 2010 at 3:04 PM This is a great 'thank you' and I am so pleased that you have written to me, read my work, and allowed me to read and comment on yours as well. This is a wonderful community, and I am a richer person for being a part of it. I add my thanks to all who read this as well. Very well said, dear James.

Joe Flach December 27, 2010 at 12:06 PM Well said James. Can I just say, "ditto" and thank them all as well? Joe
