On 15 July 2009 a new thread was created on Planet Rybak, a newborn then. It was the thread called “Fans own poems and lyrics”, made by Marianne Saietz. During the last year this thread has inspired many Facebookies to express their feelings by creating hundreds of excellent poems! It has also given birth to four SONG BOOKS released by the Facebookies so far, and counting! It has been the earliest sign of the world-famous Facebookies creativity!
On 15 July 2010 we are celebrating its birthday. You are all invited to leave a rhyme, a limerick, a poem, anything 🙂

Sample poem, by Marianne:
SLEEP
And finally, the fans will sleep And no one will the facebook keep The latest topic now must wait The wild ideas can hesitate The cleaning-people sweeps the floor clean up the links and threads and more The lights go out and all is shade And even words stay up too late
*** ANNIVERSARY POEM ***
By Yannis
This great day has finally come!
Today this thread is having birthday.
And even though I am gone apart,
I promised to be here on Thursday.
It was founded by our beloved Viking
and it has become the home of Muse.
I made my first poem here, this is striking,
before I couldn’t even change a fuse¹.
The famous Facebookies creativity
was proven through poems beyond doubt.
It brought us to higher levels of activity.
That’s what Greek words² are about!
So, I am giving my wishes to this place,
that the Muse will never let it dry.
May new poems be created by its base
if only this time for the right guy³.

¹ This is only poetic licence, I could change a fuse.
² “Poem” comes from the Greek “ποίημα” (“poiema” = creation).

Happy birthday poetry thread. Irena, your poem is fantastic. What about a video?
Wow, Irena! This is so touching poem!:)))
Happy Birthday, poetical thread! :)))
Happy Birthday, my poetical friends and FaceBookies!
What suits better to express my feelings on this day than a song -- and here it comes: from me to you!
“My very first post”
(music by Alexander Rybak, lyrics by Irena Bay)
Deep in my heart
There’s a small hidden room
And you know that you hold the key
Life will go on, we’ll grow old with the years
But something will stay here with me
The treasure I found here can not be described
Who would have thought it exists
But there is a secret that all of us know
Thank heavens I found what I missed
Yes, there is a secret that all of us know:
Our friendship with this smurfy twist
There may be
Smart guys and hot guys – who are Norsker than he
And ten times the charmer than he’ll ever be
But one thing, FaceBookies, you sure didn’t miss
My very first post
Need I say more?
The feeling is pure
My friends, you are one of a kind
Though the time will go on
And the seasons will change
You always be there on my mind
All of the things you have brought to my world
Gave wings to my most hidden dreams
Unleashed and enhanced the poet in me
You showed that life’s more that it seems
You opened the door to my own Wonderland
This Alice was born in your hand
Our world here
may seem surreal -- they will not undestand
dimensions of imagination and will
The rules and all forms are exploding, the thrill
of daydreams fullfilled
Deep in your mind there’s confusion, you ask
Should I return to the day
Where I walk ’round in my everyday’s tasks
Locking my heart far away
Don’t forget, dear
You got only one shot
You live only now, so don’t fear
If you found yourself here reflected in us
That is a reason to cheer
Let’s sprinkle the stardust, let magic begin
Let’s dance with the smurf’s violin
We raise up
Fabrics of colors unknown to their eyes
Strawberry music swirls round in the skies
Words with the scent of the very first kiss
Our fantasy’s bliss
HAAAAPPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!:))))))))
Yannis, you’re genious! This video is just great!:)
