mix together a
loving intent to create
festive celebrate.
For you, magic carpet float,
voyage above cold;
fly with fresh-made hot breakfast —
warm belly birthday.

The 7 words chosen (7 are required for the Kindku form) are mix, create, festive, float, voyage, breakfast, and birthday. Since today is Dear Poet, Björn’s, birthday, I chose to write him a Happy Birthday poem.
