What a sweet poem to write for your friend Jan. The text is a great size, and the rhyme scheme is on point. I love the question marks because I got the humor immediately. Never tell a woman's age.
I hope she has a wonderful birthday, and I know she is greatly appreciated by you and many others on this site.
Happy Birthday Jan and continued blessings!!

another heartfelt tribute to a fellow Fan story poet and friend to many of us. I have enjoyed getting to know some of the fan story members and like trying my hand almost every day at posting something.

This is a lovely birthday greeting for a delightful FanStory member. I love how you used a little fun in not reviewing her age, while telling all about her and her interests.

You definitely have an experienced poet's creativity and imagination. You crafted a beautiful birthday poem about our FanStory friend Jan, without knowing her actual birthday. I enjoyed the rhythm and flow and thought it was humorous and a fitting tribute that told the reader many things about Jan. Well done. Happy birthday Jan.

Comment from karenina
Love the growing question marks! I laughed a bit harder at each one...of course for me each one COULD represent a decade (and indeed does...plus those extra years not quite a decade yet!)
You and Helen have both written loving and fine poems to honor Jan on her birthday.
I'll rest on YOUR laurels and just say as I said in my PM to her ~~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAN!

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
What an exceptional AWESOME gift this birthday poem is,
Debi. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! Everything in it is special to
me and YOU are too for writing it for me. The ???? were
all in fun. Your rhymes and smooth flow worked perfectly.
The style chosen worked well, too. I LOVE all the many aspects
you included about me and Abby. You are a sweetheart for writing
for me. The words came straight from your huge heart into mine.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, Jan

Comment from dragonpoet
Debi,
This is a good ode to Jan on her birthday. I hope we never have to tell people our ages. She does do a lot for fellow fanstorians and her work is inspiring. This poem flows well and the repetition adds to the humor along with the questions.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Happy Thanksgiving
Joan

Comment from LateBloomer
Hi Debi, this is a most heartfelt and loving poem to our dear FS friend, Jan. Jan is always helpful to everyone. She generously shares her knowledge and expertise. She helps to make our writing and contest entries better, even if she in the same contest, because that's just who Jan is. She is a woman of integrity. You never have to doubt anything she does or says. I especially liked:
Her soul and heart so lovely, like a sweet Angel above
I've never seen a picture, but I'm sure she'd look like love
(Debi, good descriptive writing and sensory appeal. I can feel the love in your Birthday poem.)
So on this day, I sing hip-hip-hip hooray to our beloved Jan, and to you, Debi, for remembering and marking this special day.
Debi, six stars for you today, and for Jan, all the stars that twinkle in the sky on this very special day. Well done. A poem from the heart to a beautiful person. Xo. Margaret ~ LateBloomer

Thank you so very much Margaret. I wasn't sure this would be quite as well received as it has been, but I guess we never know about any of our posts. However your review was so very detailed, and wonderful that I no longer doubt. Thank you for your very kind words and such a beautiful wish for Jan as well. And thank you so much for the gift of six stars. They are all so very much appreciated.. Happy Thanksgiving my beautiful friend.
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, On This Date Jan was Born, cinches it, Jannypan was born on this day some thirty-nine years ago or so. So happy she has so many folks sending her HB notes.

Thank you Bill for all your lovely words for our Jan and I think maybe I should have just used that message from your review and left it at 39. You can't lose with that my friend.

What a thoughtful thing to do Debi, it's so good to see you and Gary up an about, and writing as well as ever, and hopefully with God's blessing and help you'll be as good as newly young. This is a fabulously written kind and thoughtful tribute to Jan, a deserved, near Kyrielle, well done, blessings Roy

Thanks so much Roy. You are so incredibly sweet and I know Jan will appreciate your lovely comments as much as I do. Thanks again my dear friend! And also, I know that many from other countries or even some here in the states, don't celebrate Thanksgiving. So let me just tell you that I am so very thankful for our friendship. It truly means so much to me.
God Bless you and may He keep you and yours safe through the holiday season.

Well done dear friend
