Birthday B

On this darling day, some sixty two years ago was born 
a golden girl with glory, glee & glow; christened Dane-
Ann, a nice & noble name... I  know, garnished with 
grace and great gifts as she gently  grow. Now a 
woman, so wise, worthy & wonderful, a christain so 
committed, calm, colorful & careful, a mother so 
meek, mild, mindful & merciful, and a grandma so 
great, glorious, glamourous &  graceful. She' blessed 
with beauty, brawns, bliss & brains. Her green garden is 
garnished with golden gains, She's simple, selfless & 
sincere...no stains; she's passionate, patriotic & 
pleasant...no pains.  A poetess with a passionate pen, 
painting on  pleasant pages who's indellible ink 
inscribes immortal images; her solemn, sweet songs...
soothe saintly sages, weilding wealthy words...weightier 
than wages.  HappyBIRTHDAY to you Dane. Many happy 
returns of the day, Lon life & prosperity! Hip, Hip, Hip:-
)  Hurray!! To my great mentor Dane-Ann Smith 
Johnsen on  her 62 nd Birthday!

Your words are beautiful. They seem to come naturally to you. Is that the case? When you create a poem, is it from imagination, personal experience or maybe a combination? Is your work usually spontaneous or do you have to put a lot of thought into it? Im trying to learn from those who have experience. "My Dismal Reality" just sort of spilled out. That's rare in my case but when it occurs, I enjoy it tremendously. I would appreciate any advice you can give me. Thank you

What a way to pay tribute to Dane Ann, with lovely alliteration that gives a lyrical quality, Adeleke. I wish many happy returns of the day to Dane
