Topic: Birthday of Eva DJ Castaneda (February 03)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
She can hear Elvis Presley in her earphones,
A gramophone is playing on the table
There's a Chelsea poster on the wall,
And the forgotten black phone rings.
He wore flared trousers and grew a mustache
His cassette player sings: "Mr. Sandman",
The floor clock in the apartment is ticking,
And the movie goes with Audrey Hepburn.
It is always tuned to its own wave,
And he's an avid Castaneda fan,
They will meet in tobacco captivity,
And there will be love in the retro style.
Their meeting is like a distortion,
As if time has gone backwards,
Love turned on the imagination
And connected the unusual again.
He rode up to her in a Deville,
She dressed like Marilyn Monroe
They spent everything they had saved,
They got married quietly in the office.
Blonde with peroxide in her pocket,
And the dude with the cigar in his hand,
Found each other in a retro fog,
And together we went on the road to the dream.
It's your birthday today,
And I know we haven't spoke for long,
But I just wanted to let you know,
You've done no wrong.
You've been a great laugh,
And always listened to me,
Now it's my turn to give back to you,
And you've been the best that best can be.
Happy birthday on your day so special,
The day the lord came and blessed us,
With your presence in the world,
And with your friendship and trust.
Happy Birthday! :)
**dedicated to my cousins that i miss truly and love so much , p.j and royal

happy bday to u all from ur cuz audrey castaneda happy b-day 4-20-2010**
my little brother :)
Sticky fingers and a chocolate face
Broken toys and a broken vase
Cars and trucks here and there
Boats and crayons everywhere
Bats and balls strewn in the yard
Sweaty face from playing hard
Broken bones and bloody knees
Stings from ants and wasps and bees
Feet stomping on the floor
Fingerprints on the sliding door
A painful cry and a whimpering whine
A mischevious smile that seems to shine
Face being licked by the dog
Rolling around in the mud like a hog
Housing reptiles of all shapes and sizes
Always full of odd surprises
Tracking mud from shoes and clothes
Yet another bloody nose
Sneaking cookies from the cookie jar
Face streaked black with mud and tar
Ketchup stains on your new shirt
Brand new shoes covered with dirt
Sometimes you can be quite a bother
But I love you anyways because you're my little brother
dedicated to roel jr. castaneda
Life gave me a little brother
to teach me about life.
He loves me,
Aggravates me,
and gives me strength and strife.
Thank goodness for my brother
He is as special as can be
Don't mess with my little brother
- or you'll have to mess with me!
dedicated to roel jr. castaneda
we never planned this,
we never tried.
ur a sister, my sister;
and i still ask y.
all the fightin & noise
and pullin hair,
ur a sister, my sister;
and its just not fair.
we r sisters & sometimes
i regret it
yet bcuz of u,
i will never 4get it!
but ...
through our ups & our downs,
this much is true:
ur a sister, my sister;
and i still love u!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DEDICATED TO MY SISTER ADRIANNA CASTANEDA THAT I LUV SO MUCH
