Even though she does not list it in her profile, I have it on excellent authority that yesterday was our dear Reisa's birthday. Well of course no one could have known, so no one put up a thread. I will start this thread to my dear friend and fine poet as a belated happy birthday wish.
Happy Birthday Riesa
Would you like another of these as a present?
Or do you want to paint one yourself:
And we won't say how many candles go on the cake:
LET THERE BE LIGHT
"Love follows knowledge." – St. Catherine of Siena

Many happy returns with your loved ones, Riesa!
PS: Virgil, thanks for starting this thread!

Happy birthday Riesa!!
SSSSIMPLY _SHREWD
For Riesa
I use my pen to paint a picture upon a canvas white as snow,
The shadows formed from letters that I type as I envision forms.
Should there be roses fair upon the cheeks, a wreath upon the brow?
Is the skin as soft as rose petals, or has it weathered constant storms?
What color is this maiden's hair, is it close-cropped or flowing long?
The eyes that meet mine from the page what color are those orbs?
The nose, is it Greek, Roman, Pug, or what? Which one belongs?
And those laughing lips and pearly teeth can keep a guy absorbed.
What costume shall my lady wear to set her off so perfectly?
Shall she wear a frilly frock, or would she feel more at home in jeans?
What colors would be best for her, the best that they should be?
Somewhere inside this sonnet lies your perfect picture, don't you see?
So look at it from time to time, and maybe you will see it one day.
But don't hold your breath, dear Riesa. Have a Happy Birthday!

Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Yaaaay, happy birthday!!

thanks guys. yay! a Pen poem all of my own.
and no more donkeys, please God. especially since I just noticed the little jack chasing around his sister for the first time today, he's only 4 months old, but I guess it's all ready time for the vet to get out his snippers.
"Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house, they are company and don't let me catch you remarking on their ways like you were so high and mighty."
happy birthday our poet lady
Happy Birthday Riesa, I hope that you have had a great one!
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
Happy B'Day, Reisa
Happy Birthday, Riesa!
There is no darkness, there is no light, there is only Lasagne!
Happy Birthday!

I hope you had a good birthday, Riesa!Maybe what you could use instead of another donkey is a weekend getaway, perhaps a spa.
the luminous grass of the prairie hides
feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
but weighty and unmovable
As black Dakota hills. ~ Riesa
Getaway is the key word there.Maybe what you could use instead of another donkey is a weekend getaway, perhaps a spa.
sigh.
actually, I think I may, I think I might!
Thanks, all.

It's astonishing how close our birthdays are, isn't it, Riesa? Libras shall take over the world!
