Your parents would much rather receive a nice, warm prose note--be it ever so ineloquent-- that you wrote to express your sincere sentiments than an elegant, witty, well-crafted poem composed by a stranger. Trust me on this. (or don't trust me and ask them.)

At least not when the poem is written by someone else. If OP wanted to send a message to her congressperson, say, or the letter carrier, meileh. How deeply emotional and meaningful does that need to be? But her own parents on their anniversary? Can anything be colder and more deceptive than having a total stranger compose the message--and then passing it off as her own? Which she would do, right? How likely is she to tell them straight out "I couldn't think what to say so I had somebody else--whom I don't know and neither do you--write a poem for me?
