Five years it’s been - at least that and a day Since paths converged upon a "Cyber Sea." We bantered in poetic respartee, And you approved of "Serendipity." "How Long" from then a friendship past compare. No matter what encounters might present, A masquerade set out upon a dare, Or taking time to breathe a lilac’s scent. Miata rides for just dessert’s partake, A midnight Scrabble tryst on summer’s eve, The hummingbirds beside the River Lake… Whatever else you might have up your sleeve… My gratitude is just that YOU are YOU I wish a Happy Birthday to you too…   |

A Sonnett is something new It is not something I often do but for your birthday and 'cause your such a great guy I shall put pen to parchment and give it a try a world you've given us a place to laugh and cry a blue haven to sore within and the chance to fly it reveals the heart of you this wonderful thing that you do - Hugs and Happy Birthday!  SusanIf I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |

Only Nan would ask for a sonnet-add-along! Sheesh. I offer up my five minute best: I did not come to stay I hid myself amidst the curlicue of fancy script and poems writ behind the masque of I did what I could I do and I chalked the end of quill as you sat behind the screen well hid--in clutch of clouds as sky. Order in the game of odds as angles played the English word tempting to just scoff and chip in wait of the mistakes to score. yet there is a tigress grin sharpening the nails to curve arching of the back in purr and I lick my paw for more. Lest there be some knowledge of an understanding missed- know that I have grown herein the comfort of a bear in clasp and should I not acknowledge thanks, for certain I would be remiss: I came. I played. I stayed. I grew. For that, I leave this kiss. Shelter from the storm, I laugh, as I type well-worn cliche': A circle, from a triad grew - you've worn the edge away. Happy Birthday Ron. With hugs and gratitude. |

Write sonnets? Nay, Sire For that I have no desire Wincing pains too much Though I leave my gratitude For a sonnet-poet-dude |

There are two books that reflect many thoughts As we share the words of friends far and wide. A place to go to, when life needs a lift sought Knowing good/bad/happy/sad is inside. Those of us who've befriended each other Have you to thank for a place to reside Where understanding of brother to brother Allows each to be whom we are, not denied. The meetings of many, more wished in hand Proves that family though distant to some Shares what they will with their hearts, never planned Typing away with their fingers and thumb. All in all this is a birthday wish Ron Blue page of poets reflecting upon...  Maureen |

Nan, that was wonderful! The additional poems are terrific as well.  I'm afraid I don't have a sonnet to offer, but I do wish you the happiest of days Ron!  Best Happy Birthday wishes and hugs, /Kit |

Nan can ask for sonnets until she turns bright blue. I can’t write a sonnet, so here is what I will do. I’ll do the best I can, as that is what you’d ask, Then saying, “Happy Birthday,” is not so hard a task! That is the beauty of this place, and its owner too, No expectations here ~ just do the best that you can do. Happy Birthday Ron (Sharon style) |

A sonnetized brain, I do not own Just offering friendship in this blue home. For many days and nights did I wander and roam Till I chanced upon the hearth of the Pipsters dome Wher'ere I journey, upon land and sea I carry this blue notebook along with me To read and learn, to feel and sigh My love for Passions shall never die And I thank you, dear wizard For gifting thousands, plus me An opportunity to meet and play In a warm cozy home that offers safety From all the storms that have tossed and turned From Pips, dear Ron, there is much I’ve learned *HAPPY BIRTHDAY* |

To dream and hold the hand of time before and live again the wants of evening share A shaft of light that once we might explore and go beyond the realm of those who dare. To have a place amongst the blackened skies beyond the tail of comet’s in their flight. To grasp and hold that what receives the eyes and twirls the heaven’s in eternal night. Alas, but send to us thy lofted speech and leave upon the earth thy gift ye gave. For of the world thy wisdom ye beseech as boldly go the hearts of passion’s brave. And when the year does come again in cheer our hearts shall sing and feel of thee most dear. Happy Bday Ron...be well and blessed with many more.... |
