***Huge one: James Andrew Fraser, it was July, 2014 when our paths crossed. I can still remember the first ever comment I received from you was in my "STORMS" poem. I scan your lists and the first poem that caught me is about the cherubs...... not long we write and collaborated to various themes.... Overall, I thank you so much... ;)! hugs!!!

A TRIBUTE TO JAMES FRASER: "IT'S NOT AN ACCIDENT" Accidentally clicked but perhaps, its the angels bewitched who bring me to your poem pages. Scanning closer, like a curious child, I leisurely collide, dancing even from high to low notes engraved effortless to your humming runes. Finishing one, two and three, golly! I am beguiled to read more! Tell me, how can I stop?... when there-- inked a scarlet flare of beauty and beast. Jam-packed phrases conjuring tease and please, kindling somber deserted moods, leaking maybe a legal frown or grin from lips. Medley thoughts you combust exhale neutrality, passion, your story and dreams. Olive green sprouting slow amidst your dark pencilled winter woes. Your life experience qualify you to relish: sweet to bitter repertoire verses. Sometimes a prison of rules taunts, you freely toss tangles unto my sleeping nerves luring undulations, but! Voila! once analyzed and understood warbles wonder and freedom of thoughts! Xenodochy and respect you humbly express, yielding liftless your good attitude. James... Zone to zone you may be, God and me loves thee! ______________________________________________________________________ ***Xenodochy -- hospitality, kindness to strangers CONTEST NAME: TRIBUTE Contest Sponsor: Silent One ~~first place~~ 10:48 pm, August 05, 2015

Hi Olive_eloi! Some things which we call 'accident' are part of a divine plan. I believe that there is always a reason why things happen. ~ This is a beautiful poem; the form is not an easy one, but you tackle it with gusto, sincerity, and love. ~ I wish you all the very best:) Hugs // paul

this makes me want to try writing an alphabetic poem, this is an excellent piece

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser
Date: 8/12/2015 4:24:00 AM

write one Cynthia..=') it's challenging.. =")

Dave Timperley

Date: 8/6/2015 1:41:00 AM

I like this work, never tried an alphabet poem yet. Xenodochy, now there is a word I have never used but have practiced all my life. God Bless. D.

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser
Date: 8/6/2015 5:51:00 AM

Dave, the one thing I like in this form is that it allows me to learn new words.. Last time I made another poem in this form, it was emphasize by the sponsor not to use just the words that are say like to, a, i to fill up the letters... Hence, I was challenged to fill each letter with somewhat unusual difficult words.. though I hope it flowed well.. =') hahaha I only tried my best!! thanks much! It's better that even we don't know the appropriate word to sum up things but we practice.. =")~Olive ELoisa.. =")

Michael Ellis

I love the first paragraph and how you started this poem...You opened up well for your readers..A very challenging poem. Thank You..A story fabulously told

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser
Date: 8/6/2015 5:44:00 AM

Poet, I want to make this poem a poem so close to my heart. Hence, I started on how our paths crossed noting my above notes that the first poem I read from him is a poem about cherubs.. =')! I was contemplating which form I should do but then what came to my mind is this one... The alphabet letters I want all to use to tell how wonderful he incorporating how our paths crossed and a message at the end.. =')!~Olive ELoisa

This is super cool, and your admiration is stunning! I am happy that you and James found each other, Olive! (the bottom right picture of him is so adorable. it reminds me of the early Herman Hermit(british singer) or something!)

Date: 8/6/2015 5:40:00 AM

Andrea, there lessons of life James taught me.. And I'm more than happy Andie.. =") Hahahaha when I first heard his voice on the phone I really thought he is a singer. He has a nice voice. Hence when again I'll have chance meeting him I'll dare him to sing .. :D well, I hope he will bite my dare.. :D :P!

Njeri, I intended to make this poem a blend of not only telling how James poetry is and how I see him as a person but I also included my name for it to make it personal.. though that line I had quite sometime debating if its okei or not.. =')!!! I made this personal.. =')!thanks!~Olive ELoisa
