Yes, you are a gem! That can last and last. So, it's like the title of the 007 film--Diamonds are Forever! I sometimes wonder how long people will look at these creations. The web site is a treasure of the mood of poets as the days go. You have no idea how I look forward to reading your work and hearing from you!! Thanks always!

Jan Allison
Date: 10/11/2015 8:47:00 AM

I can write happy when I'm sad and vice versa I have no idea where this creativity comes from - if it hadn't been for my hubby's cancer surgery I probably would never have started writing - yet here I am and it has helping me through the most traumatic period of my life. I'm SO glad you enjoy my poems Duke that comment has made my day:-) hugs Jan xx

Hi Jan! I'm stopping by to learn what a ninette is and after glancing at your ninette and a few more, I think it is possible. I agree, friendship is a real trasure. Good luck! Love, Balveen

Jan Allison
Date: 10/9/2015 2:58:00 PM

I've only written one myself Balveen I got a second place for it - best place to look at the form is on shadow poetry - I find it is more accurate on 'forms' than the poetry soup site:-) hugs jan xx
