Notes About The Poem

A Dear Heart

She’s always been a friendly sort
With kindness that I truly adore
With her pen, she never falls short
Always sincere and giving more

I love her verses, filled with wit
My words can’t possibly compare
She has humor that produces a fit
Of laughter that is, oh, so rare

She’s gives out the sweetest comments
Forever filled with gentle compliments
Her poetry is entered in many contests
She is surely filled with competence

I love her words, penned with such ease
She seems so talented that I admire her
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to always please? 
So many words that cause me to concur

This wonderfully, talented, enlightening 
Heart.. is the kind and inspiring Jan Allison

I wholeheartedly agree Regina! Jan is one of my favorite friends. Her poetry is so much greater than she would ever give herself credit for because of modesty. I loved your tribute for her that is going straight into my Faves! Congratulations on your deserving wonderful First Placement honoring Jan! xxoo

As soon as I got to the word 'humor' I knew it was about our limerick specialist, ain't she grand? A lovely write with delightful rhyme and flow that I know Jan will wholeheartedly embrace. Poetry hugs ... CayCay (I see below that Jan did indeed emotionally respond - yay!)
