I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')

Celebrating Sanaa


She wishes to make the world beautiful
And uses the weaving of words –
Not, perhaps, her first language, but one 
Adopted in olden ways she makes new
And rapidly masters, becoming adept.

Right now the world has circled the sun
In joyous return to the date of her birth.
Zealously we accept her poetic invitation,
Very glad to know her and wish for her – in verse,
In all ways: a Happy, splendid, beauteous Birthday!



Sanna Rizvi, who blogs at A Dash of Sunny and hosts weekly prompt nights there, this week invites fellow-poets to celebrate her birthday with poetic wishes. Not a problem; she has become a much-loved member of the poetic blogosphere!  Find more birthday poems here.
