Happy Birthday Eve and Jan

Birthday Double Tetractys for Eve To our friend Eve Roper: valued poet every poem from her artistic hand Reads like a painting looks - inspired! Using only words that proclaim her essence: real. Birthday Limerick for Jan Jan Allison, born on this day always knows just the right words to say: nature writes, soulful verse - Apropos and diverse, limericks are her playful forté laughing loudly, I read all I can isle of Man should be called 'Isle of Jan' such an inspired muse on the news (and the poos) not to mention orange-faced pumpkin man! // Happy birthday (January 25th) to two beloved pillars of Poetry Soup! //

So awesome, I think these two poetic tributes to two clever and wonderful poetess's on the soup, is perfectly amazing - I absolutely love them - they are both such inspirations and so welcoming. Eve is kind and gentle, Jan is fun and make us feel good, she was the first person, when I joined poetry soup to comment - submitted Blonde, absent minded or fair. John well done, they are both lovable! Hugs and Blessings, Jennifer.

'Isle of Jan' -- just a brilliant line, John. (Sure beats my feeble 'Isle of WOman')... Fabulous tribute to two great poetic friends. Thanks, gw

Isle of Jan is not original to me, sad to say, I can't remember who I heard it from. Two great ladies of Soup, we are a better place here because of them. Thanks for the comment, my friend
