For KatieMae1977

Katie's All Saints Birthday

by Debi Pick Marquette


From Halloween to All Saints Day, her real name’s Kathetine

She's Katiemae1977 short poem queen

And all of us at FanStory call her Katie instead  

She is named after KatieMae, a song from Grateful Dead



Her music education is where she had her degree

A retired music teacher, but she's grand in any key 

Some only dream about meeting their famous singing groups

But all she taught were her famous, and they were all her troupes   



She plays piano but she can play any instrument 

She once sang back up for Paul Anka in a large event 

She also sang in the Cleveland Opera Theatre 

I bet her mom and younger brother were so proud of her



She has been on and off FanStory since 2009

But under names she had before no longer would define

She learned haiku and shorter poems in a poetry class

She writes them now with skill and sometimes just bit of sass



One day you'll publish children's books, and we can hardly wait

You love the kids and have your own way to communicate

You're from Cleveland, Ohio, Rock N Roll, and Hall of Fame 

 So play piano, write and sing,; by now they know your name 



 Katie, you are so talented, we hope this time you'll stay

We love you and you're one of us; have a Happy Birthday!

I wrote this in a Halloween blizzard power outage yesterday, with not much charge left on iPads or iPhone to use for cellular WiFi. I ran out and in a 62 degree F. in the house.
Now it is 4 AM and the temp says 58 degrees and we are still without power. I'm writing this from under all my blankets and just little bit of charge left on iPhone. Katie, Looks like your poem is my latest Halloween Blizzard post, after just writing about the last one from 1991, LOL.

If you would like a tribute/birthday poem written, (makes no difference if you had one already or not) please PM me and let me know the date. I would be happy to do one for you or for one of your loved ones
