Happy Poetry Friday!

BIRTHDAY THANKS
(from me to you…)
Hope you
helped yourself
to some cake,
nibbled a bit
of banana boat float,
sang with birdies,
bubbled with fish,
and
dreamed in
nature’s
natural
goodness…

And heck, we can’t part without singing Happy Birthday, with a little help from Paul McCartney…

Oh, I did help myself to some cake. Yum! Those singing birdies are the best, though. Happy Birthday to you! I’m wishing you lots of great ideas for words and art this coming year.
Thanks Linda, I’ll fly with your wishes!
Happy Happy Poetry Friday Birthday! I hope you GET plenty of cards and sell lots, too!
Thanks Mary Lee! When my hands are busy prepping card orders, my head fills with words…
Happy Birthday, Michelle! I love that you use so much pink and purple in your art. These are lovely and I hope business is brisk.
Hi Janice, purple is a favorite of mine, and I like when I can slip pink in too, thanks!
Happy Birthday! What a joyous collection of cards!! Especially love the first Father’s Day drawing. Thanks for the cake and the banana boat float. 🙂
Happy Birthday, Michelle! Your amber swimming birthday card is lovely – orange fish are a personal favorite of mine. Love the tiny Father’s day poem as well. I hope you are being spoiled and toasted on your special day. *cheers!*
Happy Birthday, Michelle, and thanks for the invitation to your virtual party. Everything is beautifully decorated and waiting for your guests who would love to dip their fingers in your luscious cake. I am particularly happy to dream in nature’s natural goodness. The little birdies with their party hats look like they are having a great time preparing a birthday party. I think your Father’s Day card is definitely one to cheer any Daddy’s heart. A toast to you, my friend.
Happy birthday, Michelle! Your cards are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us! xo
Happy birthday, Michelle! It is my son’s birthday too! Beautiful artwork!
It’s YOUR birthday, but we get the presents! Thanks for sharing so much joy. Happy happy birthday!
A day late to your party, Michelle, but I see you saved me some cake. Thanks! 😀 An assortment of wonderful wishes to you, my friend!
Never to late to 🎈 🎉 party, 🎊 and thanks for your wishes, I may use one for this current painful episode we are experiencing… hoping for change without more violence.
These are beautiful!!! The caterpillar, strawberry cake, and pinks especially drew me in. Happy birthday,Michelle!
Thanks Laura, sending you some virtual 🎂 🤗 and lots of pink, xo.
Thank you for sharing your special day with us, Michelle! Did you have some cake with a bird or two, maybe a fish? You have a great selection of cards!
Hi Tabatha, that sounds delightful—We spent most of the day together gardening, thanks from me and nature!🦜🌱🦅🌸🐠 🦋🐝
Happy Birthday, Michelle. Your cards are all so delightful. Hope your day was special and full of brightness.
