A Long Overdue Birthday Present for You Thresa!

Here are 5 attempts at poetry to HoNoR one who ApPreCiaTeS a good LiTerArY work...Though your BiRthDaY was a bit ago, and I am delinquent in posting this PrEsEnT, I hope you will enjoy hearing some of the many ways your life has AdDeD to mine as much as I enjoyed thinking about it!

Poem #1: NaMe PoEm

Thank you for noticing my early TV obsession,

kicking my BuTt off the couch,

and taking me to many a DaNciNg LesSoN.

Home Make-Overs are your specialty.
From FaIrIeS, and PoEmS to BaRbiEs, I adore all of the rooms
you have created especially for me.

Restaurants like Pappasito's and Beverly Hills Cafe are some of our favorite places.

Thank you dear Thresa for giving me a LoVe of delicious cuisine

and FoOd RuLes to follow while StuFfiNg our faces!

Each ChRiStmAs is filled with MaGiCaL fun.

From the PiNbaLl MaChInE to the MaRshMaLloW guns,

when you're around, there's always a SpEcIaL gift for everyone.

Suggesting spectacular MoViEs and BoOkS could be your profession.

Without you in our lives,

we would surely not have such an incredible LiTeRaTuRe collection.

All of these things and many more that you do,

make it a joy to love and appreciate you!

Poem #2: CinQuAin

Thresa

creative, thoughtful,

giving, learning, uniting,

welcome, surprised, amused, known

Boss

Poem #3: HaiKu
The following Haiku addresses a deeper human experience as Haiku's often do. For this Haiku, I've chosen a human experience that Thresa has perfected: ShOpPiNg

ShoPpiNg for DreSsEs

SpArKleS and BloSsOmS abound

PrInCeSs you make me

Thank you Thresa for the many times you have used your ExPeRtiSe to help the WarDroBe of myself and many others! When I wrote this poem, I was thinking specifically about the time you helped me buy my dress for my JuNiOr PrOm...I felt like a PriNceSs, and it was in that dress, that my PriNcE ChaRmInG began to sweep me off of my feet!

Poem #4: A DiAmAnTe of two of my favorite memories with you!

NYC

magical, cultural

exploring , shopping, wandering

Broadway, Christmas, Ribbons, Blossoms

twirling, enchanting, sparkling,

princess, pink

Wedding

Poem #5: LimEricK

Several of my AbSoLuTe favorite things to eat in this world are prepared by the one and only you! For those who haven't tried these DeLiGhTs, I can assure you my attempt at poetry does not do them the justice they deserve...you just have to taste 'em to experience the full pleasure they bring to the palate!

Your chocolate chip cookies are second to none

Multiple chips in my mouth oh such fun!

That white chicken chili

Makes taste buds go silly.

I just can't bear saying, "All done."

The End

There you have it! FiVe poems all about YOU! There may or may not be a significance to the number five...I'll never tell! But for the final time until next May I wish you a very Happy Birthday Thresa! Thank you for all of the wonderful ways you have blessed me and many others in your life thus far, and I wish you many more years to come!

Love you,

Katie
