H. G. Roorda apologizes,
I normally wouldn’t do this, but it’s year three; and I’d hate to disappoint him now.
This isn’t a normal poem; I only wrote two words. The rest are stolen from John Donne, Emily Dickinson, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Robert Frost. Is this a valid form of poetry? No, probably not. But perhaps it will broaden your knowledge. Before using Google, you might try your hand at discerning who wrote what:
There is one, yes I have one
On winter afternoons.
Oh, to vex me, “He may be small”
Only compared to stars and moon.
Happy birthday, Nick.

Happy Birthday, Nick! And Huh? about the poem.
Happy Birthday, Nick! Are you legal now?
I’m going to guess the winter afternoons are Frost and that vexing is Dickinson. But ooh, I don’t know. She could have written any of those lines, really.
