Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on March 13, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Len Roberts! Another trip around the sun and your poetic magic hasn't faded—you’re still pulling The Disappearing Trick on aging. Thankfully, unlike your Trouble-Making Finch, birthdays won’t stir up too much mischief—hopefully just enough to inspire another masterpiece!

From Counting the Black Angels to earning accolades like the National Poetry Series Award for Black Wings in 1989, you've transformed life's quirks into profound verses we treasure. May you keep "flying high" with literary success while gracefully avoiding those pesky writer’s ink stains.

Here's wishing that this birthday—and every coming year—is bursting with rhyme-worthy adventures!
