Poem Title:
Poem
[Capitalized words are titles of some delightful poems by Sam Kauffman, each followed by a line from that poem] How Can This Be - a thousand pieces of brokenness, fit perfectly again Agapanthus - the season's sweet love letter, dainty flowers of azure or white Psalm Of Joy - then witness life return from a stony grave Poetry Is - poetry wears the words of smiles and tears Yosemite's Ephemeral Autumn Falls - autumn's gossamer Bridal Veil Black Opal - unrestrained fiery infatuation of effervescent excitement Itch, Twitch, Glitch, Witch - my arms are just too short to reach this little itch Redeeming Faith - steps out on ledges where we fear to go Thanksgiving Blessings - a grace note in soaring gratitude Hannah's Plea - a bonding of spirits joins our hands as mother and son Dance Party In Summer - meadows slowly waltz, forests polka with raindrops And We Call It - sprinkles, drizzles, mists and downpours; RAIN! You Were There - refreshed by hope splashing as a sparkling fountain The Language of Blue - muted voices in sapphire soprano rhapsodies Oceana - to cover up her turquoise evening gown with capes of fog so thick Skeletons Of Lace - autumn's leaves decorate lanes with discarded artistry Abigail's Spring - sun starved shadow, warming the winter's wildness Mindful - tingling in the presence of every dappled infinite breath Keeper of Wishes - I hold your wishes close, a nebula bouquet Acorn - tiny child born of my desire to encourage a new life Underneath a Moonlit Sky - celestial sisters point to a guiding star For My Children - a secret hidden, a joy to hear at the dawn of your life Fragile Rose - breath of moonlight's silver shadows teeming Music - Notes of music falling flat upon their sharps Agape - reflecting the sunrise of heaven, flowing from Agape Nova - mountain stars, give me your dreams, diamonds that twinkle to wear for a ring A hearty happy birthday (Dec 3rd) to a special lady and dear friend, the one and only Sam Kauffman... from your first entry at Poetry Soup (For My Children), right up to the current Best New Poem (The Language of Blue) and beyond, you have been a ray of light at our beloved site, always inspiring, always uplifting, always a friend: Premier poet, ardent appreciator, gardening guru, faithful friend, skilled singer, avid author, marvelous musician, sports superfan, exuberant encourager, creation connoisseur, devoted disciple... hope you have a wonderful birthday!
