Words as Gifts: A Poetic Birthday Celebration

 

Happy Birthday Marcia

 

In the realm of rhythm, she sets the pace,

Marcia, the maniac, who dances with grace.

With vibrant energy, she teaches the way,

My aerobics instructor, bringing fitness each day.

 

With spirit and passion, she takes the floor,

Inspiring us to move, to soar and explore.

Her dedication and love for dance always show,

Guiding us toward a brighter, healthier glow.

 

In tap shoes she glides, so perfect in motion,

Telling stories with each tap, is her secret potion.

Her feet create magic, rhythm, and sound.

Bringing life to a stage, where her dreams are found.

 

Today, on her birthday, let us celebrate her light,

Her friendship, her talent, shining ever so bright.

Aerobics instructor, tap dance queen,

In our hearts, Marcia, you reign supreme.

 

 

 

Your Light Shines Bright

 

Incredibly natural in your element,

precise and with such flair.

Endless joy is always evident,

after years of training

with so much care.

 

Every sense in me takes notice,

your smiling face constantly aglow.

How radiant your form,

you just don’t realize,

you must not know.

 

My mind eternally fascinated,

as you dance across the floor.

My eyes helplessly transfixed,

as you melt me to my core.

 

Any spotlight completely pointless,

any stage would be child’s play,

your spirit burning brightly

bids my heart to always stay.

 

 

 

Jamaica Me Crazy Pants

 

Time to sweat, work glutes and abs,

love our exercise daze.

Mambo cha-cha, zumba moves,

one more workout craze.

Step-touch right, gotta get that,

another encouraging glance.

Movin’ my feet, heart pumpin’ beat,

distracted by your crazy pants.

 

Rattlesnake skins, geometric prints,

hips sway then figure eight.

Red-hot squats, now check that pulse,

off the chart heart rate.

High impact thrills, frenetic pace,

cardio drills that optimize.

Extend then flex, dance and jive,

brain cells forget to re-organize.

 

Martial some arts, jog in place,

mesmerized by your fashion style.

Abstract designs, tropical themes,

shooting stars always make me smile.

Hovering plank, within my view,

a downward-facing dog inspiring me.

A high knee lunge, then add a twist,

still your crazy pants are all I see.

 

Time for cool down, muscles relax,

reflect on sensory overload.

Inhale deep breaths, stretch hands to toes,

with visions of pie a la mode.

Butterfly pose, I meditate,

fitness with fun is always the goal.

Working out with you, most certainly,

energizes both body and soul.
