Anniversary Thoughts

Love becomes quiet
As the years accumulate
As its roots deepen
A tree becomes more stable
Capable of enduring

Natal Anniversary

A simple note for your natal anniversary
Would be no more then simply just cursory.
Yes, a word or two to wish to you
A happy birthday just wouldn't do
So I simply wrote for you this little verse, you see?

Short anniversary poem by Lillie Williams | Go to this short poem

I'm Sorry

I’m Sorry

I am sorry that I missed
Your anniversary, and 
I’m sorry I wasn’t there
I offer this card with love
To show you that I care

I know this card is late
And somehow over due
But this doesn’t stop me
From wishing happy
Anniversary to you


Short anniversary poem by John Coopey | Go to this short poem

Anniversary Card

I splashed out on this greetings card,
It cost me 50p,
I thought that you were worth it,
For putting up with me.


But yours, I know, will cost far more,
(Perhaps a quid or two), 
But that’s because I’m worth far more,
For putting up with you.

Always Remember 9-11

Today 11th of September
Second anniversary
Of the terrorist attacks on America
The attacks that lead us to war
To war on terrorism
A lot of people died that day
The date was 9-11-01
That is one day nobody will ever forget
We will always remember 9-11-01

Anniversary Roses

A floral fragrance, sweet perfume
It lingers here within this room
As flowers in spring, surely bloom
Still, none compare to you

Your scent, it floats on a breeze
It finds me then it weakens knees
So wonderful, always meant to please
I love you, yes I do


Short anniversary poem by Steve Eng | Go to this short poem

All Hallow’s Eve Epilogue


You say this little book of verse
Is stranger that the rest you’ve seen?
Remember—nothing’s ever worse
Than being born on Hallowe’en.

A poet’s birthday shouldn’t be
A holiday to raise the dead,
And yet my anniversary
Is when the greedy ghouls are fed.


Short anniversary poem by Andrea Dietrich | Go to this short poem

Lavender Roses

Leading to our room. . .
fragrant petals you had strewn -
        lavender roses.
Their hue was that of the sky
when passion first bloomed for us.

Lavender roses -
      your anniversary gift
for our fortieth.
Where the path of blossoms ends. . . 
      we recreate fantasies.

Silver Anniversary

Silver Anniversary 


There beyond the shrub
the sun medallions on the grass
around a python and boar,
the python winding.

Through binoculars I see
the python work so slow.
The boar now knows

what I learned long ago.
To go this way
takes years.

Short anniversary poem by Mindy Craig | Go to this short poem

Your always loved

Today is the one year anniversary
since you have left us
you are always loved
and we miss you very much
I can't believe you are gone
it is like a nightmare
and I can't wake up
I wait by the phone
just waiting for you to call
but I realize you are not calling
I miss you grandma.


Short anniversary poem by Safari Bizenga | Go to this short poem

Our Love

Our love is our mystery;
It leads us to its discovery;
Let us follow it, like a good story;
Let us celebrate it, like an anniversary.

Our love is far from perfect;
It strives for what is correct;
Let us nourish it, never leave it neglected;
Let us cherish it, keep it protected.


Short anniversary poem by ANGEL SNEAD | Go to this short poem

10TH ANNIVERSARY

AS YOU TAKE MY HAND IN YOUR HAND
HERE BEFORE FAMILY AND FRIENDS WE BOTH STAND
AS I TELL HOW AMAZING IT IS TO LOVE YOU AND HAVE YOU FOREVER AS MY MAN

THOUGH DADDY, HE HAD HIS DOUBTS
AND MOMMA, SHE HAD HER FEARS
NOW, BOTH STAND PROUD AND REJOICE AS WE CELEBRATE OUR 10TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR


Short anniversary poem by Jill Martin | Go to this short poem

Near Me

Be still.
I can hear you
in
eyelashes resting
    on untasted cheek.
within
a tiny hand clutching
    calloused finger.
inside
the curling petal
      of a spent anniversary rose.
beyond
sifting sand measuring
      remaining time.
I cannot see you,
      but I hear you everywhere.

Short anniversary poem by Francine Roberts | Go to this short poem

Will You Dance With Me

"Will you dance with me?"
It was our first dance,
I knew at a glance
That we were meant to be.

"Will you dance with me?"
It was our wedding day,
In his arms I would stay.
His smile was all I could see.

"Will you dance with me?"
We are slower now
But we remember how.
It's our golden anniversary.


Short anniversary poem by Deneen White | Go to this short poem

Life

For every tear that falls
For every heart that breaks
For every melody that's sung
For every instrument played
For every sad thought
For every moment lost
For every forgotten anniversary
For every I'm sorry
For every mistake
For every love that's lost
There is always tomorrow
To make up for yesterday

Anniversary Song

Tiny buds of green
bursting open in the spring
will drink up the golden sun ~
At dawn I awoke
seeing your face beside me
overflowing with young love

Even the seasons
have contrived to turn the page
without an apology ~
Falling from a tree
with just a small whispered breath
are all the years behind us





Short anniversary poem by Lindsay Laurie | Go to this short poem

Anniversary

Today they are with you,
Tomorrow they are gone,
In the days that follow
Somehow life goes on.

But tears that fell like rain,
When souls are torn apart,
In time are gently frozen	
In the corners of the heart.

So quickly goes a week,
A month will disappear,
And then the tears return.
…The anniversary is here.


Short anniversary poem by Michael J. Falotico | Go to this short poem

Two Hearts Embrace


When the rain kissed the sun…
Our lives just begun…
As the stars caressed the moon…
Two hearts played in tune…
Patient walls that slowly fell…
Opened doors inside a shell…
Time moves underneath our lives with grace…
Only stronger does our love embrace…


written as an anniversary card for Rosanna..









Short anniversary poem by Jemmy Farmer | Go to this short poem

No Breath of Joy (Freeverse)

one candle lit 
set apart
for my tears will not apologize
I am dead but alive

no amount of time can pass
from this anniversary to the next
the heartless affects of years bring no ease
no air, no breath of joy

AIDS stole my heart that day
a year ago
I can’t hold you anymore
my adorable son
arms like my heart
empty

.


Short anniversary poem by Brian Strand | Go to this short poem

A romancical

we painted rainbows
you and I,
'cross our golden sky;
one by one the years
rolled away,
but a vow,once made,
still lives on,
brightly,as before;
this pot of treasure
worth much more than gold;
riches,untold
to sustain us,as
we grow old;
this love,grows not cold   

Note:Kathy and I celebrate our 50th anniversary this 
month


Short anniversary poem by Michael Benkhen | Go to this short poem

Befallen Slave

Befallen slave,
la ractera,
the child of night,
corrupt.

Upon whip's handle,
laceration,
feeds the shelves,
the cradle starved.

Cyphera encountus,
abacus is nay appalled
...with corpse's heart;
lest the starving wallet beat.

St. Valentine's anniversary
covertly taints it's favorite treat.




- Is this poem too cryptic??


Short anniversary poem by Phyllis Babcock | Go to this short poem

Forty

Who would have known time flew so fast
The first forty years are now in the past
Today is a ruby of a day
Then next comes golden, climbing it's way.
Forty years together as man and wife
Times of happiness, special moments in life
All in all we have come a long way
That's why I am sending my love today.



 Happy 40th Anniversary to my Husband

Pleasures by the Seashore

Pleasures await you by the seashore,
And in the coming months
Invest in your family; today and tomorrow,
Pleasures await you by the seashore.
Your first choice will be the wisest to follow;
Do not put all your stocks in the market.
Pleasures await you by the seashore
And in the coming months...

Happy 4th Anniversary

Happy Anniversary

That I have loved before,
Is that I have never known love.

That I have felt joy before,
Is that I could never compare.

That my heart could soar,
Is that I never did leave the earth.

That I have your love, and more,
Is that I continue to breathe.

Stoic

My husband gave me a new Poetry Soup account and wrote this poem for me for our 4th anniversary.



Short anniversary poem by constance johnson | Go to this short poem

Eleven Years Strong

Many people dream of having what you share...

Everlasting
Love within
Each other!
Verisimilar love &
Enthusiastic promises of "Death Do Us Part"
Never-ending passion

Yearning of
Extraordinary
Amatory of
Real
Satisfaction of compromised love!

But only few stick together throughout the journey....

                                          HAPPY ANNIVERSARY


Short anniversary poem by linda smith | Go to this short poem

Happy Anniversary

I speculated in my head
what sort of token should I give,
to the One I love the most,
my dearest friend, partner, soulmate,
on this special day.
I could not decide
upon a single day that would show
my deepest thoughts, love and desire.
And so I pen these careful words
on a two cent piece of paper
to show my greatest gift,
my love for you.
Happy Anniversary, Baby.


Short anniversary poem by Kimmy Holmes | Go to this short poem

One more time

Ok, I'll play it again
we'll dance one more time 
That's us
always needing one more time

I'ts late, we're drunk on ourselves
and on Vodka
I would feel guilty if I cared
but at this moment, I feel 
well
I just feel
and that's so very nice

You are as lovely
and you smell as good
as you always did
as you first did

Happy Anniversary
Now let's go to bed



Short anniversary poem by Satish Verma | Go to this short poem

IN CLOUDS

You walk on burning embers
like a black stone
to meet the end before beginning
on empty landscape.   

What was the need
to cross a saviour ?
Death had the wedding anniversary
in a garden -   

full of blessings for the sky
to enter the round seed of thought. 
After the explosion, there were
severed heads of two smiling teens.

Don Adams

(Dedicated to Don Adams who died September 25, 2005.)

You soared to fame in the sixties as Maxwell Smart.
You had a lot of talent and a very big heart.
You died on my parents 40th wedding anniversary.
When you died, millions of people were saddened and sorry.
You also did the voice of Inspector Gadget, I loved that cartoon.
You lived a long life but you were still taken from us too soon.

One Of Gods Little Angels

     On this the first anniversary of your birth

Loved ones gather around to share this blessed

                                    day

    Mya Lee Ann you are truly a gift from above

        A gift that fills many hearts and lives

  A ray of sunshine to be shared among many

Thankful we are to God every day for sending us

                        Our little angel

The Ultimate Birthday

As the snow falls we sit by the fire
Thinking what a beautiful sight to see
Shimmering lights all around
Children's eyes all aglow
Bows, ribbons and wrapping too
All these things for me and you
From God above to show his love
On this the day
The anniversary of his son's birth
So as we open our gifts
And spend time with family and friends
Let us give thanks to God our Father
For giving his only son for you and me


Short anniversary poem by Joyce Johnson | Go to this short poem

The Calendar

I check the calendar with fear.
I always do this time of year.

I dread the anniversary day, 
The time when He took you away.
 
God sent his angels down at night,
To bear you up in silent flight.

I wasn’t there to say goodbye.
I turn the calendar and cry.

I’d like to skip these days of pain,
But every year they come again.

I  cannot run from  loneliness, 
The date is  every where I guess.

Wooden Anniversary

Wooden Anniversary


She uncradles the phone with a lyric
for someone who might be calling
if I weren't calling again from work,

who would be calling, she says,
if five years ago I hadn't 
promised her me. 

Five years ago she believed me
and now she has children, four,
a house, my calls each noon.

Five years ago she lied to herself
as I napped on her parents' porch,
silent yet screaming the truth.

Short anniversary poem by crys hightower | Go to this short poem

happy anniversary

I hope…

You guys are more in love today than yesterday 
That you only grow closer as the hairs gray

That you always hold hands and exchange giddy glances
And when no ones looking, you steal secret dances

It’s like you said, there will never be enough time 
So cherish each and every moment as life’s clocks chime

So reflect and rejoice over your life and loves journey
And from all your children, have a happy anniversary!


Short anniversary poem by Christy Solis | Go to this short poem

Happy Anniversary

Today is the eleventh day
A month ago I heard you say
"Christy wanna be mine"
I smiled and said "yes anytime"
From the time we first met
I love you and still I bet
Your part of my happyness
My baby of kindness
I hug and kiss you in my dreams every night
With a touch of your hand to wake me up at the light
I protect your heart every minute
Keep it close and don't hurt it
Happy Anniversary baby
For this month is only the beginning

Short anniversary poem by Patricia Garcia Howard Bramble | Go to this short poem

Happy Anniversary (I love You)

Since I have meet you
I have discovered that two is better than one
When you are happy,I am happy.

When you are sad,I am sad
With you,I have the courage to follow my dreams
With you,I am not afraid to confront my fears.

Each day, I look forward to being with you
Just knowing you will be there for me
Makes me realise how fortunate I am to have found someone like you.

In you I have found joy
With you, I am complete.

Murder Of The Soul

Why would he choose a blue rose?
Heaven it's sickly color
I will pretend it's pretty 
For our anniversary

Oh! I understand his thoughts
Cobalt Blue my favorite___
How I enjoy my pink rose
You know one on the trellis

He did not know I was sad
He never picked up on clues
When he brought the blue rose home
Clueless or did he plan this

Plan to feed the depression
So that I would get in deep 
Deeper into the despair
Despair that leads to my death

An Anniversary Song

Court of Love
An Anniversary Song 
Answers In A Game Of Questions 
After The Sensations
The Midnight Hour
Increases Thy Power
Thy Love Heightened from above
Coming before thee
Naked...Bare...Raw
In your Court of Love
Found Guilty
You sentence thee
To a lifetime of passion
By The River
We Go 
A care ne'er to take
Our love we partake
An Anniversary Song
Forever to be sung
