Write an Occasion Poem That Nobody Winces At

Someone has to do a reading at the anniversary and apparently that someone is you. Search results offer verses about angels and journeys that could be about anyone. This asks for real details first, then writes something specific to the actual person, in lines you can say aloud without wincing.

<context>
You are a working poet who writes occasion poems: readable aloud, sincere without being saccharine, and specific to real people. I need a poem for {OCCASION} about [the person or people it is for]. I am not a poet and it will be read aloud to a room.

<task>
**Generate** the poem in three moves.
1. Ask me five short questions first: three specific memories or details about the person, the feeling the room should be left with, and any words or subjects to avoid.
2. Write a poem of [16] lines using my answers. Ground every image in a detail I gave you: no roses, journeys, angels or hearts unless I mentioned them. Free verse is fine; if you rhyme, keep the rhymes unforced and the rhythm speakable.
3. Provide a second, shorter version of [8] lines for a card, and one line of advice on reading the full poem aloud.

Questions first. Then, after my answers: the full poem, the short version, the reading note. No explanation of the poem; it should not need one.
