I thought that this was a well written poem. Your flow was great, as were your rhymes. There was a sing song quality to your poem that made it fun and easy to read. Happy Birthday, SANTHA. Best of luck

What a delightful Merry-go-Rhyme and a great Happy Birthday Santha/Sanke, Debi. This was a so wonderful and your words included her husband, Kumar. The picture was fantastic, the Taj Mahal, an India landmark. Blessings n Hugs!

You are so sweet to honor Sanku with a birthday poem. I'm sure this has blessed her to no end! Beautifully penned and illustrated just for her in your signature Merry~Go~Rhyme style.

Happy Birthday, Santha! I pray you have a wonderful birthday, and that you're blessed with many good years ahead!

Sending you both my very best. :)) :))

Another lovely birthday poem, and a chance to make a Merry-go-Rhyme - well done! I can imagine all the Indian birthday cakes and sweeties being cooked and consumed for Santha and her family - what better excuse for a feast? So happy birthday Santha, and kudos to Debi. Julie xx

A very nice poem for Santha, and you have written well of her personal characteristics. She will be delightfully surprised to receive this personalised poem for her special day.

May 5th is "Cinco de Mayo" here in Texas, but I, based upon your wonderful tribute, have added Santha to my salute list for the first round of Margaritas. Buena Suarte! Enjoyed it all and wish I could join for a great plate of Rogan Josh and a Kingfisher beer.

Hi Debi, this is a beautiful birthday card in a poem. Your poem reads and flows well and has good rhyming within. As always, your heart and soul shines through in everything that you write. Of special note:

An English teacher and much more
She comes from India
She loves her God, her faith will soar
With her I am in awe

(This is the essence of Santha ~ Sanku.)

This is a birthday poem that any one would be thrilled to get. You've penned another Merry-go-Round goodie. Great photo choice.
Well done. A pleasure to read. This poem made me smile. Xo. M

Nice poem! You've captured Santha beautifully! It's 11:30 PM here, on Thursday. Still, like you, I'm so happy to read these birthday wishes for our fellow Fanstorian and a poetess I'm just beginning to know a bit. You've done a smashing job, Debi.

Happy Birthday to Sanku!

Karenina
