Happy Birthday To You, Margaret

Missing image

If I were witty enough,
It would not be so tough,
To wrap a Sonnet as a gift,
And put an iambic bow on it.

Or could get you a champagne
Full of Villanelle to entertain
And poured out in a tulip glass
To the exact syllables to suit your class.

And would have written a Triolet that rhymes,
To praise your poetic quality that outshines.
Would've written a ballad to depict your fame.
Or penned acrostic pearls be fitting your name

Owing to this glitch and my limited capability,
For not able to say in verse to your compatibility,
I've plucked some simple words from my heart to covey;
My mentor and friend, many happy returns of the day.

    You are so modest! You do know that you can write beautiful poems, and your rhymes always work well
    This poem you brought to Marg us simply lovely! She's indeed a terrific poetess and full of talent.
    Thanks for coming to the party my dear friend!

    Ranjeeta, I try to use simple language in my poems so it can be understood first hand without consulting a dictionary, I suppose you may not be aware of some poetry forms I mentioned, otherwise the main structure is written in a simple english

    I am the most talented poet on this site. I thought you knew that...the fact that I don't write poetry shouldn't dissuade you.

    You forgot that silly form she for some reason gets so excited about. What is it? A "Gook, Grook?" something like that. What she sees in it I'll never know, lol.

    You know, I like that your poem just comes out and says in a simple way how you feel. Sure it has some pretty bows (to steal from you) but there is a plain down to earth quality that seems more real than might otherwise.

    I'm done now.

    Fantastic

    I love this mina! You've mentioned all my favorite forms in your graceful couplets, and I'll certainly raise a tulip glass to you on my birthday. You are more than kind, this is very sweet, and I appreciate your gift.
