Happy Birthday, Kelly!

a poem for Kelly Scheppers.....long may we read one another's words!

She is a versified vixen

an enchanting minstrel 

who strums syllables of sensuality

as easily as she manages bittersweet memories

on this, the anniversary of her birth, 

Keats will smile and Marilyn will curtsy

while a spectrum of suspended notes and echoes 

meant for only her

pirouettes gracefully to western shores

butterflies will flit to her tune

raindrops dare not fall and the sun will shine brightly

till tonight when the man on the moon blows a kiss

          to Kelly

a friend who means so much.  

 

Happy Birthday, Kelly!

Many more in good health!

I'm a little late to the party, but I can't imagine it's over... not where you two are involved! What a sweet and sensual reflection of a dear poet who adds so much to this trend of global warming. Lifting my glass... Cheers! Here's to another year of fire! :)

what a combination, Keats and Marilyn, love it.

"strums syllables of sensuality" great alliteration, and she surely does that.

nicely done,

and happy birthday to Kelly!

Kelly has written many poems about Keats and Marilyn Monroe. She and I have known each other on the poetry sites since 2002.....she is a talented writer. Thanks for the review, Jacob. Lydi**
