on three twenty nine oh nine;

or admit how you know me,
all friends, old and new.

sing me your birthday wishes
in 5-7-5.

From everyone who misses,
My Birthday Wishes.

A thousand returns,
To desire what you may,
A very happy birthday.

We love you so much,
Like a monkey does banana,
Happy Birthday oh Jana!!!

Overachiever-
A mom who runs, reads, writes, sings:
Twenty-nine at heart.

College English Class-
Discussions with Dr. Brown,
I miss her, do you?

Now a Cyber Friend-
Do you actually exist?
I may never know.

Yippee for Birthdays!
It's time to celebrate YOU!
Mediocre? No.

bluesugarpoet said...

Girl, I've been running
in your footsteps since college!
YOU inspire ME!

(thanks for the awesome haikus! :)Dr. Brown, sadly, passed away about a month ago. She was a kick in the butt - even up to the day she finally let go, so I hear).

Dudley tradition
birthday cards are never "late"
it's the thought that counts

thirty-nine? ha, ha!
next you'll say you have four kids
--ton ami, Pierre

I am heartbroken
but I have a good excuse
I missed your birthday

Google sent me here
on three fifteen oh one one.
My best haiku. No.

Share a memory?
Or admit how I know you?
All friends, old and new?

Roast you or toast you?
Sing to you birthday wishes?
In 5-7-5?

In 5-7-5.
Written from across the world.
I like how you write.
