Happy Birthday Sue Cardwell
\nby cricketjeff on January 4, 2010.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nIn a town just outside Tonbridge in a sleepy part of Kent
\nIt’s the Birthday of a friend of mine of soft poetic bent
\nI think she’s over thirty but that’s all I’m going to say
\nAs we wouldn’t want a rumour to disrupt her special day<\/p>\n
She is good at many genres and the queen of happy-sad
\nTearing sobs from men of iron when she writes about a Dad
\nShe delights her many followers in free verse or in rhyme
\nNot reading all her output is a heinous AP crime<\/p>\n
She will scribble down a sonnet or a longer lyric verse
\nAnd her comments will be apposite and never rude or terse
\nSo please raise a glass beside me to this poet with a clue
\nFrom the poets on AllPoetry here’s “Happy Birthday Sue”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
