AGE IS JUST A NUMBER

By Kevin Nishmas

Your age is just a number,
It’s really not all that big,
You have seen a few decades,
Since you were just a kid.

But you don't look your age,
You beat the middle age spread,
Your face glows like 1,000 stars,
And you can still turn heads.

Best wishes and happy birthday!

MY SCOOBY SNACK

By Deandré Haughton
Guest Poet

You're like a Scooby snack,
And I'm your Scooby-Doo,
You're trapped in a haunted house,
And I want to save you,
I know I can find you fast,
I just have to follow the clues,
Because you're my Scooby snack,
And I'm your Scooby-Doo. 

Happy birthday to Rooooo!

STILL YOUNG AT HEART

By Kevin Nishmas

All those nasty birthday cards,
That make fun of older folk,
Don't they know you're fragile?
They really shouldn't joke.

Sure, you may lack iron,
And vitamins A and D,
But you're still young at heart,
Younger than I'll ever be. 

Happy birthday!

THE BIRTHDAY SONG

You're another year older,
The calendar must be wrong,
But it's that time once again,
Time to sing the "Birthday" song.

One day you may forget it,
And it will seem all brand new,
When that day finally comes,
I'll gladly sing it to you! 

Happy birthday!

Hints & Tips

How do you write cute birthday poems?

The best cute birthday poems can appeal to anyone, even people you wouldn't expect to like anything cute. 

With cute birthday poems, though, you need to determine the right dose of cuteness for you, since you need to like the birthday message you're going to send, and the birthday boy or girl, since too much cuteness tends to turn off certain people.

Cute birthday poems, by themselves, make nice birthday gifts for anyone. Look at it this way: nobody can deny that babies, kittens and puppies are cute. Millions of photos all over the web attest to this fact. Birthday poems can also be cute, which makes them excellent birthday keepsakes.

But cute birthday poems can sometimes be too cute — and therein lies the problem. With photos, it's easier to capture the "cuteness" factor. With cute birthday poems, the "cuteness" factor must be captured in words. That's no easy feat.

Cute birthday poems, at their best, have the right mix of sweet and adorable words. By "right" I mean the right level of cuteness. Basically, there are three levels: cute, super cute and OMG cute.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words...

This is "Cute"

This is "Super Cute"

This is "OMG Cute"

Each cuteness level can either trigger the “aww so cute” response or the gagging reflex in the birthday boy or girl, so only choose the cuteness level when you're sure it’s the right one for you and the birthday girl or boy.

Bottom line: Don't be too cute with your cute birthday poems. You'll be cute enough if you just express how you feel about the birthday boy or girl in sweet, whimsical way. My advice for writing a winner? Just trust your inner cuteness barometer. It will tell you how much cuteness is the right dose for your cute birthday poems.
