Born of the 9th month
A Virgo, September,
The fire of her soul
A delicate ember
She smiles,
That simple perfect smile
What lies beneath, I sit and ponder?
Lonely hearts,
Do they grow fonder?
A poet to my surprise, she is
Loves the styles and all within
English her subject
One of many skills,
A lifetime of with time to fill
Born of the 9th month
A Virgo, September,
The fire of her soul
A delicate ember
Her hair,
Golden locks of grace
Soft clear skin
A kind and warming face
She speaks in gentle speech,
Her words soft and full of meaning
She knows where she is,
She knows where she is going,
She knows how she will
For her passion is flowing
Born of the 9th month
A Virgo, September,
The fire of her soul
A delicate ember

Classic encomium to a classmate
Good use of repetition or repeated stanza, which could even be a chorus in a song. Good use of rhyme.
Such a description SP gives that a reader could feel affection toward the object of the lyrical eye (I).
