Happy, Happy, Rhina. You were the first one who greeted me and made me feel welcome when I stumbled into a local workshop about twenty years ago,
and have continued as an aid and inspiration. Your joy in poetry is contagious.

Happy birthday to a poet whose work will always be important to me. Hers are poems I go back to often, often. I've been wishing Rhina happiness on this birthday on every forum I can, and I'm glad to see a thread here, too.

Happy Birthday, Rhina!
To Rhina, with fond memories of our conversations at various conferences,
May this be the happiest of all birthdays for you. I'll always treasure my copy of Agua de Dos Ríos, and I promise my Spanish will get better!

Her poetry is amazing, and although I have never met her, her influence shines out across the internet. I wish there had been a better creative commons licence image of her so that I could have included her in the card.

Happy birthday, Rhina. I love your poems and translations, but you are, in yourself, even more wonderful.

Happy Birthday, dear Rhina, from across the Pond!
I was trying (but failed) to include a picture in this post of the solar ornament of Queen Elizabeth 'waving', that you nearly won at the end of the panel I hosted at West Chester a few years ago. ( Here's a link to a similar picture.)
I'm sure Her Majesty would also like me to send her good wishes to you; she's only a few years older herself, and both of you are inspirational women!
I hope you've had a fabulous day.
Jayne
