HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, MAKENZIE VEGA! (WRITTEN BY AXEL LILY IN 2007)
Behind movie marquees, On TV screens. Preteen gal lore
One thirty or Two hour(s) long pieces of art. More
Spread high two wings of yours, Alaska and Labrador
Rocky horror show and Roller skates. Great heavens!
Thirsty thirteen coming up. Sometimes at sixes and sevens
Sincere Sirius! Fourteen for teen on Mount Evans
Lips are sealed, leaps concealed. Hips bud in heaps, lifted to the kite
You walk and run on the main boulevard all starry night
Gifts from your posers; this bear hug. Presented tight
Cool, calm and collected. But swing and slide with pix on a mack
Prim and proper, You've got harried auburn locks- the color of Mak
The Rockies: You will fly high with speed faster than a Mach
Posh and plush sunlit botanical garden. So green and lush!
A sincere and serious chick. West Coastal gold rush
Tetragrammaton's Santa Fe rock echoes back the thrush!

Footnote 8)'thrush' should be understood only as a cute little bird in this poem. All the meanings of 'thrush' as medical terms do not fit into this poem, and those meanings necessary to be ignored are totally discarded here. This sort of problem does not result from the poet's any intentional mischieves but from certain defects in the system of English vocabulary. English is not a pure language. The structure of English is unique and English does not even actually belong to Germanic subfamily in Euro language family. Together with Germanic, Latin, Slavic, etc., English is one of separate subfamilies in European language family. In terms of vocabulary, English is a halfLatin and halfNordic- small imports from other Germanic, too- language also with lots of derivations from Greek and Celtic subfamily groups. Axel Lily
PS As a linguist, I have pointed out that English/Anglo should be classified as a separate subfamily in European language family because it went through remarkable structural changes unlike most Continental languages. Secondly, Nordic languages can also be grouped as Nordic subfamily separately from Germanic subfamily. Unlike ordinary linguists claim, English is based more on Scandinavian languages and has also been more influenced by these than on and by Western, Central and Eastern Germanic languages. European language family can be assorted into Anglo, Latin, Nordic, Greek, Baltic,Celtic, Slavic, Germanic, Armenian, Albanian, etc., though not absolutely. Iberian languages have lots of Semitic and American Indio elements. Second European language family can be assorted into Finno, Hungarian, Turko/Tartar,-may include Basque and Caucasian(including Georgian)- etc. Ukrainans and Armenians were white army against Soviets who are mostly diverse type of Chinese including Chinese Moslems and Koreans among Great Russian speakers.
