Long Birthday Poems

Intentions  
   
as intentions go    
was to list 47 things  
I Loved about you most  
   
Compassionate nature    
empathic vibration, gentle  
patience laced in wisdom    
   
I could go on . . .    
about your dedication    
to creative arts and Us    
   
I could sing accolades    
regarding your commitment    
chivalrous honor thereof    
   
A brave Spirit    
in face of adversity  
calm resolve settling it    
   
There aren't enough    
adjectives...

Those distant days we made our own have literally flown by
and the several years which inevitably they’ve given rise
to have harmoniously coalesced into an enterprisingly
beautiful and kaleidoscopic reservoir of supremely
rich, fondly enlivening and unquestionably note
worthily charming and enduring memories of
you and me. Memories that on reliving them in my mind
their energizing experiences instantaneously and rather

It was Henry Elephant’s birthday, his anticipation was growing
He was buzzing about the birthday party he was throwing
Henry sprung out of bed and was super excited
He picked up the list of all the friends he’d invited
Simon Peregrine was the first person he went to call for
After a while, Simon’s Mum came to the door

“He’s not coming out he’s been a naughty young peregrine
He’s only gone and got himself addicted to heroin
He won’t do the dishes and he won’t cut the grass
He just sits in his room shooting smack in his ass
His actions...

Early friday morning an envelope
Dropped onto Edith's welcome mat
Inside was a Birthday Party Invite
Adorned by a picture of a siamese cat

The party was to celebrate the birthday
Of Edith's old nemesis, Mary
They'd never really got on
So the invite made her quite wary

Edith recognised the hand-writing
Of Mary's daughter Jill
Who had often taken time off work
To look after her mother when she was ill

The party was on monday night
At the local social club
Edith couldn't understand why that was the venue ...

I’m Bibi the Ladybug
a cute little one,
I have dazzling colors
that shine in the sun.

Today is so special,”
said a grinning Bibi,
"I’m having a birthday,
today I'll be three!

My friends planned a party
they all will be there,
I have to look fabulous
but what will I wear?

I'll put on some jewelry
and red high-heel shoes,
I’ll wear lots of make-up,
how much should I use?”

When Bibi was done
she just wasn’t the same,
she changed her whole look
and even her name.
