Because Isa's seventh birthday was so long ago,
Isabelle, grown up at eight, is now much older.
Though the passage of days may sometimes seem slow,
Too soon, nine will be peeping over her shoulder.

I won't write a poem.
I decline to alliterate.
I distrust all rhythm.
I would rather be an inmate.

so don't you be blue.
There is always, always

Siamak wrote indicating he liked a particular rendition of the happy birthday tune
that violinist Bruce Dukov plays.
You can hear that rendition by going to
