Happy birthday! I'll pretend I have dyslexia and with you a happy 36! I wish that would work for me. Well, it could if I were approaching a second childhood lol. Good luck in the contest.

I love the youthfulness of this picture and poem. Your vitality shows in both the illustration and words of your work.

I wonder why you put 'sixty three' in quotations? Is that a fictitious age?

I really enjoyed reading your poem. Thank you for sharing it!
