A Birthday Poem
It rained on my birthday,
Showers of gifts
I felt gray,
All the thrift-stores were closed
It was a Sabbath,
My greeting card was set aflame
I made my wish,
The sky was all the cake I ate
The Southern Crux,
Was a cluster of candles
25 years of torture,
Atleast,today there were no paperplate cuts
It rained on my birthday,
The sky was baked
Showers of gifts
I felt gray,
All the thrift-stores were closed
It was a Sabbath,
My greeting card was set aflame
I made my wish,
The sky was all the cake I ate
The Southern Crux,
Was a cluster of candles
25 years of torture,
Atleast,today there were no paperplate cuts
It rained on my birthday,
The sky was baked

Just read first seven of your poems. Your command of words and how you
hook them together interests me. Confidant, assured, not afraid to
experiment; and, more importantly, not afraid of the kind of excess I
just happen to like.
I liked this poem especially*, am following you to see what happens,
should be interesting.
