Hi Carly, I'm taking a deeper look at your uplifting "Happy Birthday WDC" because I followed you at I Write. I've started this three times and kept getting interrupted, sorry it is a little late.

First glance, the title is specifically for one recipient and yet the poem could be for anyone on WDC celebrating the event. Visually the poem has whimsy, centered, quatrains separated by a refrain. Attractive on the page.

You use a nonce form, an uneven rhythm written in 4 quatrains separated by a refrain and the last quatrain ends with that refrain. Rhyme xxaa B xxcc B xxdd B xxbB. Nice pattern and cleverly designed to meet the 19 line prompt requirement.

The word choices appropriate for a birthday greeting, no real surprises but I loved the "don't cha know".

You might want to check L13 "We're built a community" should be "We've built a community" or if you were trying to avoid repetition of the beginning of L12 it could be "We built community"

I did enjoy reading this fun poem.
