Birthday sweet
Flowers
every day
for the week before,
my office looked like
a floral shop with
vases of roses dotting
every surface.
It got to be kind of
embarrassing how much
he was spoiling me
but I adored it.
I'd never been cherished
this much
ever.
We had dinner with
one of my sisters and her
husband on the big day.
She showed up with a huge
helium balloon of a Valkyrie opera
singer that shrieked the Hallelujah
chorus every time the breeze from
a blink of someone's eyelashes
touched it.
I was so happy and loved
I glowed in the dark.

ReplyDeleteThis seems lighter (none the worse for that!) than some of the rather meatier poems on your blog. I find your range impressive and the blog rewarding. I shall return for a longer browse ere long!
ReplyDeleteThis is sweet! Oh to be showered with love! I see why this was memorable. Thanks for contributing your beautiful memory to my Free Write Friday! Hope to see you next weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful! Glowing in the dark is a wonderful feeling.
