Ps I Love You

Jan and Darren joined the poetry soup site
Worked on our own poems in our own right
Started to collaborate on works together
Hope this happy union lasts forever and ever

When we joined soup they put out the 'welcome mat'
Lovely comments from PD, Anne Lise and also SKAT
Encouraging new writers is their wonderful gift
Joining poetry soup gives our hearts a lift
 
Being on the site we have found a lot of fun
In our poems together I’ve just become a mum
Darren is a perfect ‘husband’ and is a doting dad
He always makes me smile but his jokes are often bad
 
Friendship has blossomed, we've shared laughter and tears
Talked of what the future may hold and our worries and fears 
We've discussed our youth and the things we did back then
So little we would change if we could live our lives again 

Jan is very happily married, her lovely son is grown 
Darren is deliriously happy building a life of his own 
The beauty of soup is the welcome they give 
Encouraging friendships that last as long as we live.

When we joined soup they put out the welcome mat
Lovely comments from PD, Anne Lise and SKAT
Encouraging new writers is their wonderful gift 
Joining poetry soup has given our hearts a lift

Writing with others adds a new and rare poem quality 
My collaboration with Jan means the whole world to me
We have intuition, though that may sound absurd 
Sometimes I know what she'll say before she's written a word .

We have our page on which we write but love writing as a team 
Creating something that might make us giggle or share a sweet dream
You'll find us on Jadazzle out there hoping to make friends  
Writing poems we hope you find easy to comprehend .

When we joined soup they put out the welcome mat
Lovely comments from PD, Anne Lise and SKAT
Encouraging new writers is their wonderful gift

Hello Jan and Darren - Glad to meet you. Really like your song. It's a fantastic way to introduce yourselves. Do you have a melody? It is also a great tribute to Poetry Soup. Thank you for stopping by and reading my poem today. - Gail {:>

Thanks Gail for the lovely comment - no melody just was written for a contest and it had to be in 'lyric' for Darren and I have only been writing together since we entered a contest where collaboration was required. Since then we have become great friends and 'jadazzle united' was formed. Hugs Jan xxx

Thank you for the lovely comment Dr Mehta. I don't think I have ever felt more fulfilled in my life since joining here and I have discovered a talent I never knew existed before. Working so closely with Darren means the world to me - we have such fun in our writing and have become very good friends in the process. Hugs Jan xxx

Dear Jan and Darren, It's wonderful that you have found so much joy in writing together. It is easy to make friends on the Soup and some of my friendships that originated here have lasted five years, even though some of these friends no longer post poems. Keep writing and sharing! Wishing you success in Dave's contest. Love, Carolyn

I am truly blessed to have found someone as wonderful as Darren to collaborate with Carolyn - all from a contest from Jared Pickett - never dreamed when we wrote our first poem that we would continue writing together and having so much fun in the process. Hugs Jan xx

Thanks for the lovely comment Eileen and your continued support of Jadazzle. Darren and i share a very special friendship - our poems continue to flow verse by verse and no one will know who has written which lines. Am very lucky he's my 'cyber hubby in our poems even though he is VERY naughty at times - and then he blames me - typical! Hugs Jan xx
