Friends and fellow poets!  Draw near and harken unto me!  This is the sixteenth birthday of Katie, Goddess of the Green Gray Eyes!  Katie Eichner, who is registered a member of us here as Silverkatie, and who has a Poetry Homepage on this site under Modern Poets, where she is my neighbor!  Sweet sixteen and altogether lovely!  Happy, happy birthday, my dear and cherished friend!  All my love, always, your admiring fellow poet, +Steve

Dear Steven,

I hope this finds you well. Indeed, it is Katie's birthday! She joins me on 16! I've told her of this post in an e-mail to her... I believe she is awaiting her presents:)

Happy 16th Katie! Hope you have the best birthday ever!
All my love, Dara

Thank you all so much! I did, in fact, have a fabulous birthday, and now that I have my learner's permit I'm one step closer to a little bit more freedom... to roam as I please, at least.
All my love to you,
SK
