Jolly Janet

Jolly Janet
jokingly jests
jubilantly
admiring another's
alliterations
and acrostics
always
acknowledging
newcomers ...
never necessarily
needing nuances
never-the-less
entertaining
everyone endlessly ...
eventually
enlightening
those that
take time to
tirelessly tumble
through
today's turmoils
making many
milestones
more
memorable
and among
asking
advice
reassures
readers
relentlessly raving...
replying
in iridescent
illuminations
inquiring
eagerly ...
evoking emotions
eventually
egging endless
elation.

Mark Bohannan

Holly-No there is no one quite like her and I know I am blessed to have her as a friend.  Thank you much for stopping by and for the kind words.

Sudhir-Thank you my friend.  You always leave me with a smile.

Kethry-Thank you very much.  I will continue to write as long as there are those willing to read.

Kit-Yes she is very deserving my friend and you know that as well as I do.  She is truely what Passions is all about.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

snowpants-It's easy.  You get very little sleep and then call her and talk to her and by the time you are done it seems to be on the page.  Thank you much my friend.  Always nice to see your name here.

JM-Now I wouldn't go and do anything that would get YOU kicked out of here.  I am glad you liked it my friend and yes you should have known that with a one year anniversary that there would be something for you by me.  I was at a loss on what to do and write until you completely got me confused on the phone with your ramblings and then I knew. LOL  Luv to you too my friend.  

Sunshine-Thank you

Virginia-Thank you much.  They are nice when they come out right but I wasn't so sure about this one.  I am glad you liked it.

Martie-Not near as great as you my friend but one day I hope to be close.  Thank you so much.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful words both for this piece but mostly for the kindness you all share with my good friend.  As you all know, she is truely a treasure and most definitely could be the "Poster Girl" for Passions.  I truely appreciate your words as I know she does and I thank you much.
