Birthday Cake

In front of your door
I paced,
Stooped down and retied
My shoelace,
13- the number
That was glazed,
Rung your doorbell since your keys
Had been replaced.

Once the door opens
In a haste,
And you'll stare at it
In amaze,
With a motive of
A nutcase,
I'll smash a birthday cake
Right in your face.

Thank you for your warm welcome! Well, my name is Julia and I'm from Malaysia. I'm turning 17 this August and poetry is a newfound interest of mine. Thanks for wanting to be my friend! *hugs back*

Julia,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@"

Thank you for your warm welcome, Linda! I have read a poem of yours and certainly do hope that I can write as brilliantly as you one day! I'm unsure of my poetic skills since I'm still a newbie! Looking forward to familiarize myself with more your poems in the near future :D xxxJulia
