Birthday Poems

After a couple dozen birthdays, you know how hard it is to be original. We’re sure that even Mr. Hallmark runs out of original things to say to his friends. And that’s when birthday quotes can come in extra handy. In a world of thousands of well wishes on Facebook, you can copy and paste a riveting quote from our database. Instead of a trite, "Happy birthday," you can dazzle them with something thoughtful, witty, reflective or downright sentimental. Why, even your friends in the birthday card writing profession will be impressed with your sentiments.

A Birthday Poem by Martin Dejnicki
Birthdays come and go each year,
Today is yours, so don't you fear.
Conversations fill the air,
We have joined you since we care.

Funny jokes and laughs out loud,
We will always be your crowd.
Many friends you haven't seen,
How long has it rea… [ Read More ]

Birthday Blessings by Joanna Fuchs
Instead of counting candles,
Or tallying the years,
Contemplate your blessings now,
As your birthday nears.
Consider special people
Who love you, and who care,
And others who've enriched your life
Just by being there.
Think about the memories <… [ Read More ]

438. Impromptu on Mrs. Riddell's Birthday by Robert Burns
OLD Winter, with his frosty beard,
Thus once to Jove his prayer preferred:
"What have I done of all the year,
To bear this hated doom severe?
My cheerless suns no pleasure know;
Night's horrid car drags, dreary slow;
My dismal months no joys are crowning,

Dylan Thomas
Poem On His Birthday by Dylan Thomas
In the mustardseed sun,
By full tilt river and switchback sea
Where the cormorants scud,
In his house on stilts high among beaks
And palavers of birds
This sandgrain day in the bent bay's grave
He celebrates and spurns
His driftwood thirty-fifth wind … [ Read More ]

201. Birthday Ode for 31st December, 1787 by Robert Burns
AFAR 1 the illustrious Exile roams,
Whom kingdoms on this day should hail;
An inmate in the casual shed,
On transient pity's bounty fed,
Haunted by busy memory's bitter tale!
Beasts of the forest have their savage homes,
But He, who should impe… [ Read More ]

On His Eightieth Birthday by Walter Landor
To my ninth decade I have tottered on,
And no soft arm bends now my steps to steady;
She, who once led me where she would, is gone,
So when he calls me, Death shall find me ready. [ Read More ]

The Birth by Paul Muldoon
Seven o'clock. The seventh day of the seventh month of the year.
No sooner have I got myself up in lime-green scrubs,
a sterile cap and mask,
and taken my place at the head of the table

than the windlass-woman ply their shears
and gralloch-grub

Sorry, I almost forgot, but I don't think

Birthdays by Robert Service
Let us have birthdays every day,
(I had the thought while I was shaving)
Because a birthday should be gay,
And full of grace and good behaving.
We can't have cakes and candles bright,
And presents are beyond our giving,
But let lt us cherish with delight

Birthday Death Memory
Robert Frost
The Birthplace by Robert Frost
Here further up the mountain slope
Than there was every any hope,
My father built, enclosed a spring,
Strung chains of wall round everything,
Subdued the growth of earth to grass,
And brought our various lives to pass.
A dozen girls and boys we were.

For K.R. on her Sixtieth Birthday by Richard Wilbur
Blow out the candles of your cake.
They will not leave you in the dark,
Who round with grace this dusky arc
Of the grand tour which souls must take.

You who have sounded William Blake,
And the still pool, to Plato's mark,
Blow out the candles of your cake.… [ Read More ]

Banned Birthday Poem by Author Unknown
I've been banned from having birthdays
A new rule has been made
Signed, sealed and delivered
By the local Fire Brigade!
They say that all those candles
Would create such a blaze
They'd have to come and put it out
And stay around for days !

A Birthday Poem by Ted Kooser
Just past dawn, the sun stands
with its heavy red head
in a black stanchion of trees,
waiting for someone to come
with his bucket
for the foamy white light,
and then a long day in the pasture.
I too spend my days grazing,
feasting on every green moment… [ Read More ]

TO BRENDA WILLIAMS ON HER FIFTIETH BIRTHDAY by Barry Tebb
The years become you as Oxford becomes you,

As you became Oxford through the protest years;

From Magdalen's grey gargoyles to its bridge in May,

From the cement buttresses of Wellington Square

To Balliol, Balliol in the rain.

Ninetieth Birthday by R. Thomas
You go up the long track
That will take a car, but is best walked
On slow foot, noting the lichen
That writes history on the page
Of the grey rock. Trees are about you
At first, but yield to the green bracken,
The nightjars house: you can hear it spin
