<p>I normally wouldn&#8217;t do this, but it&#8217;s year three; and I&#8217;d hate to disappoint him now.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;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?

Only compared to stars and moon.</em></p>
<p>Happy birthday, Nick.</p>
