Mystery
illuminated
by the spotlight of the moon
or the sun of late afternoon
related
in private eye novella
or under a garden umbrella
complicated
by disarming clues
following a lighted fuse
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
designated
to challenge reader sleuths
to determine subtle truths
to find within these lines
the subject who brightly shines
to solve the mystery within
a tribute to a friend therein
one who flies on magic carpet
aiming high as on a rocket
one who shares her open heart
bares her soul in poetic art
one who creates a magic garden
or a mystical forest glen
one who shares her love and emotion
softly, quietly without commotion
one with attributes of a castle queen
a true lady wherever she is seen
one who gives of herself lovingly
who shares her opinions willingly
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
So reader, here is your task
this lady to unmask
to wish her the very best
on occasion of her birthday fest.
Since May 30th is upon us, do not tary
in leaving your wishes for _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _!
(Now revealed as mysteryLadyMary.)
In a list
Words come alive when answered in kind.

Wonderfully Worded.
I love dedication pieces, always sharing the love makes the world a better place.. Seeing the good in others, and sharing, and letting them know they are a blessing to us. Thanks for sharing you, and your kind heart.
Peace, Timothy ..

Timothy,
too often words go unsaid,
people go unheralded,
so when the occasion
presents itself,
I take advantage.
On that note,
I must say that you
are one of the blessings
of being a member at AP.

This is a nice verse for a friend, and thank you for revealing her to us, as I have not had the pleasure of meeting her.
There is a little transposition, perhaps: "softly, quitely"
-
-
Thank you, Margaret, for spotting that!
I totally missed it!
Mary writes pieces of great variety, from love and emotion,
to reminiscences, to inspirational rhymes.
Nice to see you here.

Aesthete...Beautiful imagery show...each better than the other...all great artwork...

Thank you, Mary.
The possibilities appear infinite,

labors of applying layers of color,
I can play and play with the toys
in Photobucket!!!Another new challenge
to take on!!!!

Happy Birthday to ________
So is she going to read is? Comment on this?
MariGoes is a bit of a sleuth, not surprised she figured it out. I had to go back to the poem you mentioned in your comment to Mariza, because well, I'm not very observant.
Ask her if she'll share her cake with me, I haven't had a snack in a week...ME, Mr. Snack! Sorry, I always seem to turn my comments into being about me.
A cute poem, but you made me work...ME, Mr. Lazy! Hey, I can be both!
-
-
Sir Ima C...You certainly can have a piece of my cake, shared along with the other well wishers...Mr Snack, it is a three layer chocolate with fudge icing, yummy, yum...my favorite...join the fun...MLM
-
Hah. Methinks you protest too much,
for you will work to find an answer,
uncover a clue, solve the puzzle---
for that is your nature!!!
Mr. Snack? I have a little jar of
Ghirardelli chocolate chips right
under the flat screen----reach,
reach, reach over and help yourself!
I'm sure the birthday girl will stop in
and commend you on your efforts, as I do!

Who is this lady
you gracefully paint
with tender colours
involved by mystery
moon and rays of setting sun
not yesterday, or today
but tomorrow her face will shine
like candles celebrating her life
Lovely and warm as always,
you

If you peek back at "Possibility Knocks"
you will see a hint in replies...
Thank you, Mari.
Aesthete -

Ah, but if read carefully the letters in my comment, you'll see I think I know who she is.
-
-
Aha! And there she is!!!!!

You saw it. Now I can edit and let others try to find out who she is.
