Shh... Don'tTell Nan (yet) - Justin Needs Your Help...

This morning, half awake, I heard a noise unknown to me,
I thought I was still dreaming, but it was reality.
A voice resounded through the 'Stute,  demanding to create
A poem for Nancy, 'cause her Birthday's on the 28th .
.
"A poem for Nancy Ness?" I cried, "I rather would go blind!
First Lady of these pages blue! - you surely lost your mind!
How will I ever find the words to tell her what she means
To all the poets here at PIP - Nan is the Queen of queens!

The queen of hearts and even more the queen of poetry,
To even try to equal that would be insanity!
And tell me where to find the words to thank her for the time
She puts into the Workshop, teaching rhythm, form and rhyme?

Oh please give me a break, it's perfect she deserves, no less,
And I am known to turn a poem into a witty mess."
"Ok, you've made your point, but on a poem I must insist,
So go and ask your fellow poets kindly to assist,

'Cause each might have some words to write, some free verse, some in rhyme
And if you do it right away, you might be just in time
To please this special Lady with a poem the 28th ;
A Birthday gift from all of you, now go and have some fate!"

So poets here I stand and ask for help in my despair,
For writing Nan a Justin poem seems anything but fair.
I end my plea with wishing Nan: "Good Health and Happiness,
And Happy Birthday dearest friend, we love you Nancy Ness.

Some poems defy improvement
They stand well as they are.
Much like this moving tribute
To a Piptalk star.

Happy Birthday Nan

There is a nice lady named Nan
She’s friend to woman or man
The Queen of queens
Held in high esteem
Since PIP began


HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAN!!!

Thanks for the reminder written with poetic grace.

Well Justin Genius, you got here just in time with a beautiful tribute to our Queen lady Nanniness.

I'll write her a little something the 28th.

I like this. I'll try to put together
something for the 28th, too. This is a really
nice thing to do for Teacher Nan.  
I hope she has a very Happy Birthday, too.

A Justintime poem for Nan?
Me, one of those #1 fans?
Surely you do mean to please
the gal who writes with so much ease,
and we'll keep this secret that you've planned!

A birthday poem for teacher Nan,
Ah heck, sure, I don't give a damn.
I'll make a fool of myself in rhyme,
For Nan, I'd do that any old time!  

The Queen of Passions deserves to be,
On a pedestal for her birthday you see.
I've seen the hours she gives without thought,
And hey, this is cheaper than any card bought!      

Count me in and I'll try my best,
I always try to hang in with the rest.
I will do something for our Grande Dame,
Justin Genius thanks for inviting me to this game.

Where She Is

Where berry bogs in silence lay
And mist rolls slowly off the bay
Where roads come to a sudden end
That’s where I go to meet a friend

Along the shores of old Cape Cod
Where you can walk alone with God
And then around an unknown bend
She’s waiting there, a loving friend

Where seabirds cry and fog horns moan
A dreary song of things unknown
Through thick of fog the voices blend
With whispers of a poet friend

And now the season of her birth
Announced by voices of the earth
In winds that filled the Mayflower’s sails
In echoes of a whalers tales

I hear the sounds through misty haze
Of laughter from those well lived days
And I will soon embark again
And ride the pathway to a friend

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NANCY NESS!
Love and hugs
Liz

A Birthday Filled With Joy
for a Special Lady and Friend


A brilliant sunset
A butterfly
A cool Cape breeze
A cloudless sky

A moonlit night
A Christmas morn
A birthday party
A baby born

A robin's song
An apple pie
A cup of tea
A lullaby

A newborn kitten
A breaking dawn
A springtime picnic
A fresh cut lawn

A sunny day
A daffodil
A snowy peak
A rolling hill

Be the joy great or small
Fleeting or without end
All life's joys are doubled
When shared with you,
My friend!!

Hugs for a very Happy Birthday, Nan.
Love you lots, Marti

So Justin Kace she doesn't know
We'll keep this secret thread
We must make sure she doesn't go
Out partying ahead

With Justin Genius it's Insayne
They're such a motley crew
The group of them would be inane
That's Justine Uff now too...

A lady of integrity
She has style and she has grace
Her words are so uplifting
Bringing a smile to light my face

I wish for you much happiness
On this very special day
As I send my heartfelt thoughts
And my love across the way

To Dear Nan........

I hope you have a wonderful birthday
that is filled with much love and happiness.

To a person admired much,
Not so much for her wealth,
But for her gifted talents,
And for her warm hosiptality.
To even a stranger
Who know only a little or two,
She touches many unnamed folks.
To this we celebrate,
To this we now celebrate,
The mark of the day you were born.

A birthday present for sweet Nan?
Why, I know just the thing!
Not fancy car nor brand new yacht
And nope... no diamond ring...
But something to use every day
She moderates this place -
A brand spanking new eraser,
Our indiscretions to erase!

I hope it's a happy one, Nan!!!

A sonnet is what I would like to write,
Since that's the form that gives you most delight,
But I'm not Shakespeare, or a Sonneteer,
Nor am I Robert Burns, or Balladeer.
I called upon the Doc to help me please,
'Cause Doctor Moose writes sonnets with such ease,
And to my shame this rhyme scheme is a mess,
But Doc's out on a date with GyspiNess.
I hoped to find a nut to spice this verse
And asked a free verse from the Crachet Nurse,
But she replied: "Before the 28th
I have to iron all the jackets strai(gh)t."
Dear Nan, apologies from Lady Red
'Cause it's just "Happy Birthday Nan" instead.


Happy Birthday Nan!

Poetry Fairy with a magic wand,
She flutters over our pages blue.
She rhymes with ease and words fly from her pen,
And she tries to show us what to do.

Some of us get the "dunce"'s hat for rhyme,
Our meter doesn't make an ounce of sense.
But she tells us that we'll be just fine,
And pulls us gently off the playground fence.

She does her best for everyone in here,
A smile, a laugh, a helping hand for all,
And now she celebrates another year,
I join in shouting out a good wish call.

I wish you happy celebrations, Nan!
In Pip we are your greatest fans!

I did my very best with this sonnet for you Nan, I hope the da-dums we did in class have stuck in my head by now. Even if not, I hope you have a very happy birthday and thank you for all you do in Passions!  
luv, Liz xxx

TO NAN MY LOVE


TO MY SWEET NAN

My harem holds but one sweet dove
The one and only that I love
The erogenous of my sense
And the awe of my intense

The very frankincense and myrrh
And the spirit of my stir
She is the mist, the dew of dawn
She is the very light of morn.

The subtle of my admire
The shuttle of my desire
The total of my consommé
The soul and goal of émigré

The inner core of treasures store
A glimpse into the evermore
The romance of naiveté
Mist and mystery of its display

And where she goes, I will go
Like the echoes of a rondo

Thank you for seeing when I needed help with the graphics and helping me when I didn't even know that you knew. That's just one little example. I thank you, sweet Lady.

~* Happy Birthday To Nan *~
29 Again!

                 

She’s up and at it  
With the crack of dawn
Surfing the forums
As she paints a face on.

Heads out to school
To teach or bore them
Rushes home again,
To clean up each forum.

Around dinnertime
She right back again
In the halls of Passions
Keeping things all sane.

Her nifty eraser
Has snuffed big men out,
But being mean isn’t
What our Nan is about.

She kind, and gentle
Helps anyone at all,
Picks no favorites
In Passion’s Hall.

She sure is one mean
Poetry writing machine,
And the best darn
Da-dummer I've ever seen.

Well today’s her birthday,
Let's shout it through the hall,
Happy Birthday Nanners
With love from us ALL!

               

Thank you for all that you do and all that you are,
but most of all, thank you for being my friend!

close but no cigar
dum-da
  

Oh, and was it okay to take your picture

Birthdays are made up of cherished memories, times of joy,
and magical hopes for what the future may bring.
Time is a stairway the soul climbs
on a pathway to the stars.
Each year is built on hope, strengthened by faith,
and made richer by love and friendship.
On this special day, may you feel the warmth of friendship,
the miracle of love, and may your heart overflow with a wealth of dreams.
Happy Birthday to a beautiful soul.

O' what tortures doth thee press Naniness?
Hast thou bee's swarm hidden in thy bonnet,
As thou dost perplex with thy wordiness?
Bardess, what creature this, evil sonnet?
That doth confound poetic neophyte.
As did Moses, lead to thy promised land,
With thy learned teachings, show me bard's light,
So I might scribe as doth thou bardess hand.
I fear I sink in ocean of despair,
As from mine head, with trembling hand I pull,
What doth remain, what once was known as hair,
I beg of thee, as runneth out of mine bull,
I close with this, in all seriousness,
Happy Birthday, poetic Queen Nan Ness.

  Happy Birthday  
To our Nanciness



You're the apple of our eyes
You are Passions golden prize
Your wisdom, wit, and poetry
Makes us laugh, and cry--and see!

May the coming year be a joyous one!

Loves 'n hugs,

Linda

I've missed the date
I'm running late
To let the lady know

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!

*mumbling under breath* If that nurse cratcket hadn't had me locked in solitary confinment I would have been here.

*grumble growl*

I have heard of Miss Nan, the teacher of poetic rule.
As a Freshman, I have not yet sat in her class at Passions school.
Gosh, I hope she doesn't crack my knuckles for being tardy.
For it seems, I was remiss and missed her birthday party.

Happy Birthday, I am sorry it's belated,
Patricia

Nan,

There was a rose that bloomed in May
as flowers are wont to do,
and everything about that rose,
reminded me of you.
She was so sweet, just as you are
Her beauty had no peer,
Her charm was irresistible,
and truly oh so rare.


I'm sorry I was late for your birthday party. Hope you enjoyed your day and I wish you many happy returns.

Now I guess a suitable tribute to a lady who is acknowledged by everyone to be so wonderful, is to finish that poem. It has been lounging in my mind for years waiting for (I guess) the right time. Methinks I may have found it.
