“Happy Thirty-One, Sara Peters!” (+ “Happy 264, Wolfgang Goethe!”) [by Anthony Madrid via Facebook]

SARA PETERS  (8/28)

Sara Peters, thirty-one:
Stop the winds and block the sun.
Golf-cart Goethe, somewhat more:
He’s two hundred sixty-four.

German poet, sing a burst:
Sara Peters’ thirty-first.
Schwester von dem ersten Licht:
Werther’s song in meter strict.

Noon on August twenty-eight
Prompts Madrid to cogitate.
Sara Peters, priest and nun!
Stop the winds and block the sun.
