Happy Birthday Poems
- Clever -What are the best clever birthday poems for a card or eCard? The best are birthday poems that contain clever twists or turns of phrase (nothing too cryptic, of course).
For some ideas, check out the clever birthday poem examples below:
HAPPY AND YOUNG AT HEART
By Kevin NishmasYou're happy and young at heart,
Your energy knows no bounds,
You make us all look ancient,
It's time to nap and slow down.
You're full of piss and vinegar,
All set to spring into action,
We all feel old next to you,
Stop or you'll end up in traction.
We are not really complaining,
We're just a bunch of old farts,
We secretly wish we were you,
You're happy and young at heart.
A FRIEND LIKE YOU
By Kevin NishmasHappy birthday!
I have many friends,
But one above the rest,
That one is you,
You are simply the best.
It's a friend like you,
In good times and bad,
Who asks for nothing,
Yet offers a hand.
Wherever I go in life,
There's only one thing to do,
I must have a big heart,
And be a friend like you.
IF I KNEW YOU
By Nixon WatermanThis is a clever birthday poem because it brilliantly uses turns of phrase to show that we are all the same underneath, although we are unique individuals.
It's a beautiful birthday wish for someone special, perhaps your brother or sister who may not fully understand you...or vice versa.
Happy birthday!
"If I knew you and you knew me,
If both of us could clearly see,
And with an inner sight divine,
The meaning of your heart and mine.
I'm sure that we would differ less,
And clasp our hands in friendliness.
Our thoughts would pleasantly agree,
If I knew you and you knew me."
WELCOME TO THE METAL AGE
By Kevin NishmasWelcome to the metal age,
You have solid gold for teeth,
Brilliant silver for hair,
And steel joints underneath.
Your body is always aching,
That is not a reason to pout,
Be glad you still have stamina,
To blow all your candles out.
Happy Birthday Poems

Happy Birthday Poems
- Cute -What are the best cute birthday poems? Cute poems are, by nature, a very, very sweet way to wish "Happy Birthday" to someone very special.
That said, you should not be too cute with your birthday poems. Just a dash of cuteness goes a long way. Below are cute birthday poems to get you started:
WHAT A DAY
By Kevin NishmasHappy birthday!
What a day to be happy,
And smile the whole way through,
Today is your big birthday,
A special one just for you.
Blow out all your candles,
Make your wishes come true,

May your special day be special,

Happy Birthday Poems
- Funny -What are the best funny birthday poems? Firstly, funny poems do not need to be "laugh out loud" hilarious. Funny birthday poems merely need to elicit a giggle or two.
Your ultimate goal is to make the birthday boy or girl happy. With this objective in mind, glance at the poems below for inspiration:
IN MY DAY
By Kevin NishmasHAPPY BIRTHDAY!
When you start to see your youth fade,
And your looks have seen better days,
I'll be here to say you're sexy,
Even when your nose hair is gray.
You may not be over the hill,
But you say "in my day" too much,
When you're not clubbing at Costco,
You're napping right after brunch.
You may be older than you think,
But you still have lots more time,
Celebrate each and every day,
Just don't nod off before nine.
LONG IN THE TOOTH
By Kevin NishmasHAPPY BIRTHDAY!
You might say we're long in the tooth,
Eating chewy food is a nightmare,
We can't sink our teeth into a steak,
Because they will just stay there.
Our aches and pains are worse,
We feel and look like hell,
BENGAY is now our BFF,
And the best cure for old man smell.
Sleeping through the night is tricky,
It's now our Achilles' heel,
Taking a nap anywhere helps,
Except when we're behind the wheel.
We tend to forget names and faces,
Senior moments are now our friend,
We wish people wore name tags,
But we always forget to ask them.
MUSIC TO YOUR EARS
By Kevin NishmasHAPPY BIRTHDAY!
You know all the elevator tunes,
You hate what's on Billboard's charts,
You think today's music is pure trash,
You crave The Beatles like an old fart.
You don't know the names of bands,
Yet you still feel like a swinger,
Don't let folks call you a hippie,
Peace out and give them the finger.
THERE ARE WORSE THINGS
By Kevin NishmasSo what if you're getting older,
There are worse things to be,
Like a goofy, pimply teenager,
With zero self-esteem.
So what if you got a few wrinkles,
There are worse things to have,
Like a case of the twentysomethings,
And a room at Mom and Dad's.
To me, you're simply wonderful.
Everything about you is just right,
So have a happy birthday,
And let's party all night.
LIFE'S AS GOOD AS GOLD
By Kevin NishmasHappy birthday!
Wow, another birthday is here,
What can I really say?
You look pretty good,
Even with a touch of gray.
Your eyes are still so blue,
You're still so kind and mellow,
Your smile is just as infectious,
Even though your teeth are yellow.
Yes, this birthday is grand,
Your life's as good as gold,
But you can't fool Mother Nature,
You are still getting old.

WHAT I CAN SEE
By Kevin NishmasHappy birthday!
I wish you saw what I can see,
I see a heart so full of love,
I see eyes so hopeful and wise,
And I know what you're made of.
I wish you saw what I can see,
I see promise a mile long,
I see unvisited, distant strength,
And I know in you travels a song.
I wish you saw what I can see,
I see it's not yet real for you,
But I see what I see as your fate,
And I know one day you'll see it too.
EVERY MOMENT MATTERS
By Kevin NishmasHappy birthday!
Hope you have the best birthday,
With laughter that never fades,
Every moment matters,
That's how memories are made.
Wishing you joy and wonder,
Here's to your amazing health,
May you always see beauty,
There is more to life than wealth.
NOW'S A GREAT AGE
By Kevin NishmasHappy birthday!
Now's a great age to take chances,
And do all you want to do,
Your creativity knows no bounds,
What you need is right in you.
Your wisdom is wiser than ever,
Your spirit is bolder than bold,
Your humor is more humorous,
There's just no time to be old.
AS YOU GROW UP
By Kevin NishmasAs you grow up, may you find...
Hope before despair,
Passion before boredom,
Love before loss,
Joy before sorrow,
Peace before turmoil,
And only happy birthdays ever after.
YOU CAN DO IT
By Kevin NishmasI know you can do it,
If you would only try,
It's mind over matter,
There is no better high.
You must forget yourself,
And let go of what's dear,
You'll see beyond the noise,
You will conquer your fear.
If you're afraid to fail,
Know you are not alone,
Even the brave fight fear,
We all dread the unknown.
But you truly stand out,
The world needs what you bring,
When it's your turn to shine,
Reach out for the brass ring.
Climb the wall before you,
Build a bridge to cloud nine,
Unsteady ground you'll tread,
It will be worth your time.
Happy Birthday Poems
- Romantic -What are the best romantic birthday poems? My personal favorites are romantic poems that truly express what's in your heart. But there is one thing in common all romantic birthday poems share: the ability to set the right romantic mood.
Since our romantic feelings may shift over time, there's no one-size-fits-all romantic birthday poem. Below are examples that run the gamut from slightly romantic to full-blown sappy to give you a few ideas:
ALL THAT YOU DO
By Kevin NishmasDreaming of you is divine,
You give me so much pleasure,
I want to be with you now,
You are my special treasure.
May we celebrate all night,
I'm into all that you do,
Let's make today so steamy,
That's my birthday wish for you.
THIS CRAZY LOVE
By Kevin NishmasIt was a spark at first,
A glow I couldn't see,
This crazy love in me.
It soon became a fire,
A fierce flame so carefree,
Scorching my deep heartache,
This crazy love in me.
Now a blaze of sunshine,
A beam of warmth so true,
A slow, searing, kind burn,
This crazy love is you.
MY OBJECT OF BLISS
By Kevin Nishmas
Happy birthday, my love,
You're the castle around my heart,
Part fortress, part ivory tower,
'Til never do we part.
You crossed the moat of my soul,
And led me to parts unknown,
To an isle full of joy,
A middle age all our own.
For me, there's nothing between us,
Except warmth, love and laughter,
You're the dream beyond my walls,
My object of bliss forever after.
MY BEAUTIFUL BIRTHDAY BOY
By Kevin NishmasHappy birthday!
Sweet like a honey drop,
As loving as can be,
A heart the size of an ocean,
A soul filled with glee.
You're not just a siren song,
You're a lifelong symphony,
Your rhythm moves me,
To rise up, dance and sing.
I'm glad you were born today,
My beautiful birthday boy,
You make my life stunning,
And fill it with such joy.
Below is a verse I adapted from John Lennon's song, Across the Universe, which appears on the album Let It Be by The Beatles. when you read it, you'll know why I consider it one of the most romantic birthday messages on this site.
These lyrics will show your "special someone" the depth of your love for him or her...in an elegantly romantic way. Let the birthday Beatle-love-fest begin!

The best sentimental birthday poems evoke a sense of joy and nostalgia at the same time. Below are examples of sentimental birthday poems that should give you a good start:
MY BROTHER I CALL HOME
By Kevin NishmasYou arrived before me,
Forged a path all alone,
You were, you are, the first,
My brother I call home.
You were once so distant,
An island all your own,
You soon came into view,
My brother I call home.
We grew ever closer,
Fleeing the unknown,
Bridging every gap,
My brother I call home.
With no walls between us,
With paths yet to roam,
With you I will travel,
My brother I call home.
EVEN WHEN
By Kevin NishmasEven when I'm hanging by a thread,
And I don't want to let go at all,
I can still release my grip to fate,
Because I know you will catch my fall.
Even when I'm walking on thin ice,
And there's simply nowhere to run,
You take me to kinder, higher ground,
Where brave souls and wild hearts are one.
Even when I need to stand my ground,
And I only have one leg to stand on,
I lean on you for strength and faith,
Braving the struggle until it's gone.
Even when my cup has runneth over,
And I cannot take another drop,
You gladly give me your own glass,
Infused with love and filled to the top.
ONE GIFT YOU CANNOT BUY
By Kevin NishmasThere's one gift you cannot buy,
A buried treasure precious and true,
It's the gift of a close, kind friend,
Exactly what I have in you.
We've shared each other's joys,
And cried on each other's shoulders,
These are our precious moments,
That make us stronger, even bolder.
So I wish you "Happy birthday,"
With all my heart and soul,
We'll be best friends forever,
Two halves of one fabulous whole.
A PRECIOUS FLOWER
By Kevin NishmasYou're my little sister,
Younger only by birth,
Nobody is like you,
Nobody on this earth.
There's only one you,
You are a precious flower,
The find you least expect,
The bloom that empowers.
There's no need to change you,
You are as you should be,
You are love uncontained,
Boundless hope forever free.
You were born a blessing,
Beautiful from the start,
You're my little sister,
Evermore in my heart.
FEEL YOUR SPIRIT BURN
By Kevin NishmasYou live for the chase,
Keen to run all day long,
Free from the thought of rest,
You know you can do no wrong.
You savor each step of the way,
Bending to each twist and turn,
Your head's deep in the game,
You can feel your spirit burn.
Even close to the finish line,
Fierce enough to win the race,
Your heart's set on running,
You live for the chase.
BLESSED, LOVED & CAREFREE
By Kevin NishmasYour special day comes once a year,
It's 24 hours of celebrating you,
I'm not sure about most things,
But this much I know is true.
Your birthday is a gift of love,
Some believe it's heaven sent,
I think it's a gift you give yourself,
A day you do all you've dreamt.
So I wish you "happy birthday,"
Because you deserve to be,
Every moment all day long,
Blessed, loved and carefree.
WHEN I WISH YOU
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY"By Kevin Nishmas
When I wish you "happy birthday,"
There's so much more I want to say,
Though it's hard to utter the words,
Nothing's going to stop me today.
When I wish you "happy birthday,"
What I mean is "I love you,"
You're more than the world to me,
I'm so thankful for all you do.
When I wish you "happy birthday,"
It's because you make me proud,
Now that I've put down these words,
I just want to scream them out loud.
TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
By Kevin NishmasAnother year has passed,
It's your birthday once more,
You should feel very special,
And let your spirit soar.
Celebrate every moment,
There's no time to be blue,
Today is your birthday,
Today is all about you.
May you always find joy,
North, south, east and west,
Happy, happy birthday to you,
I wish you the very best.
Hints & Tips
The more you learn about happy birthday poems — and how to write or choose them — the better your choice will be for your loved ones celebrating their birthday today. With this goal in mind, take a quick look at the tips and hints below.
How do you write happy birthday poems?
Out of all the birthday messages you can send to a love one, happy birthday poems are the safest. Why? Two reasons.
First, happy birthday poems are safe because it's just about impossible to hurt somebody's feelings with this type of birthday message. How many people do you know who would get upset over a cheerful birthday poem — under normal circumstances? I don't know any. So happy birthday poems are virtually a sure bet.
Secondly, happy birthday poems are safe because they are 100% frown proof. Packed with "feel good" birthday messages, these birthday verses can make anybody smile, even illicit a chuckle or two. I like to think of them as the McDonald's of birthday messages — deliciously heartfelt and simple.
The simple, heartwarming messages of happy birthday poems are what make them incredibly suitable for many types of birthday girls and boys, including friends, colleagues, clients, acquaintances and children.
Happy birthday poems are even ideal for members of your immediate and extended family, whether or not you're close to them, but who expect to receive a birthday wish from you.
For these reasons, happy birthday poems are virtually a sure bet — virtually because there's a slim chance that you might not make the birthday girl or boy happy with this kind of birthday message. What type of person would dislike happy poems?
• Your boyfriend, girlfriend, wife or husband who should really receive a romantic poem for his or her birthday. For your significant other, a happy poem is the most impersonal birthday verse you can choose (since it does not express your deep feelings for the birthday boy or girl).
• Friends and family who hate poetry of any kind or anything that rhymes.
• Someone who is mourning over the death of a loved one (a happy poem may be considered an insensitive gesture in this case, unless you know for a fact that the birthday boy or girl would be delighted to receive one).
Once you've determined that happy birthday poems are the way to go, selecting the right one is easy. All you need to consider is the level of "happiness" you want in the poem you choose or write.
When you come right down to it, there are really just three levels of happiness:
• Happy
• Very happy
• Crazy happy
I would avoid "crazy happy" because it may be too far-out for the birthday gal or guy. So you actually have only two choices: happy and very happy. How can you tell the difference? That's easy.
Bottom line: Choose happy birthday poems that you know will bring a smile to the face of someone special.
