You are the child, now grown,
You cheerfully giggle and play alone.
Hypnotized by the rhythmic cadence of Mother's voice.
And adored with  hugs, kisses and soft tickles to rejoice.

You are the toddler, always falling,
With pearly tears to meet mommy’s catching
exploring dark and hidden places, forever reaching.
A bathed kitten in fishbowl,  And a paper boat in flooded kitchen.

You are the school child, still learning,
In principal’s corner you got extra lesson
the word "Why?" imprinted on your psyche.
And “whatever” grows something spiky

You are the teen, hormones flaring,
Out of chrysalis, you are flying.
Engulfed equally by love and lover's grief.
Churned your sorrow to ice-cream for relief

You are the adult, living life,
Of happy, sad and much strife
discovering joy and pain anew every day.
And a RON-Strip to guide your logic way.

You are the man,
With grand plan
You are a poet.
In  universal span

But where is the ink?????

Happy Birthday, dear Ron. Thank you for the PIPtalk.

any way, 100 years is not that long and neither that old

I indeed borrowed your verses.

Here it is again ~ January 24.
Poor ole Ron can't get out the door!
His poor old joints must creak and ache,
Snow piled high like icing on a cake.

Snowed in on his birthday ~ of all the days,
No signs of melting or warm sunny rays.
No mail they say is getting in or out.
I heard the lake is full of frozen trout!

Shucks, I had a gift for his birthday too,
Now I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
I'll have to keep his present now I guess.
I wanted it anyway, I really must confess.

I know!

I'll send him a kiss and a big hug too,
To warm his innards and lips of blue.
Wish him a birthday that's simply grand,
Even if that's not exactly what I planned.

I forgot to mail his card for the 100th time!
This is my apology put in a little rhyme.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RON!

MAUH!

Thank you for being the gracious benefactor of this wonderful site, and mostly for just being you!

Nan ... that was beautiful (and so are you!)

Happy Birthday Ron!

So many times, I think of you,
Your kind and caring ways ...
This house you built in pages blue,
Where every poet plays.

I think of visits, chats, and talks,
Your wise and gifted style,
And each time that I think of you,
It always brings a smile.

It’s been too long - I miss you Ron,
I hope you know I’m here,
I’m never far away in thought
From those whom I hold dear.

Happy Birthday Ron! I hope you have a wonderful day! If you ever feel like saying hello ... please give me a shout! I miss you!

Best wishes and grrrreat big {{{hugs}}}

Even computer dummies like me
Can navigate here easily
Feasting on forums of talent
Till my heart and soul are content

Appreciating all you do
To offer these pages of blue,
I ask the Lord that you’ll be blessed
With a birthday that’s the happiest.

A birthday's but another way
To tell you why you're getting gray
and why your joints so often squeak
and why you wheeze each time you speak.

A birthday's but another way
To say your days of making hay
Are fading with the setting sun
As are your ways of having fun.

Now Scrabble is the way you score
Instead of ways you did before.
Hot seats give way to rocking chairs
And response to all is, "Hey, who cares?!"

A birthday's just another way
To wave our youthful days away.
But, still, I give a rousing cheer
That you have made it one more year!

There once was a man
Who issued a call
To a mixed group of people
Poets them all

He built up a web page
Donated his time
For the poets to post
All their rhythm and rhyme

He called it net poets
Little did he know
How big it would get
Or how quick it would grow

He created a haven
A place full of friends
Where all were accepted
And talent had no ends

That same “little” site
He worked hard to create
Now numbers its members
Eleven Thousand to date

He’s given us guidance
Listened to us groan
But most of all he’s made us
A place of our own

Were we can feel safe
To express all our feelings
And meet some new friends
Who’ll help though our healings

So on this, his Birthday
I’d just like to say
Thank you Ron Carnell
And Happy Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MAN

He took off the blue sky

he lined it with thick and thin night

He flatted sun and moon

He got all stars modified

and he became the lightening!!!!

Ron, I don't want to get electrified.

Thank you for creating and maintaining PiP - for not only those who have been here for some time, but also for those of us more recent members.

Happy Birthday (late) and I hope you have a snowmobile for all that snow they are all referring to.

Ron, because of you, pip has become a second home to me! I have made many friends and this site has been the source of inspiration for me to have written over 1,200 poems! Trust me! They would never have come into being if it weren't vicariously through you! I love this place ~ and you!

God bless you for all that you do to keep this a happy, well-run home for us all to enjoy!

May this year be one of vibrant good health, prosperity, bounty, productivity, harmony and joy!

Nan ~ this was a beautiful post in honour of 'Father Ron'. lol

Ron, I am giving you a humongous, birthday hug 'n a kiss on your cheek! (the one on your face! Mind you, I'm so appreciative of everything that you do, that I'd even kiss your southern one if you wanted me to! lol
