Birthdays are for counting!




Birthdays


Simple things
bring you back

like the night
we celebrated

Your dreaded
50th birthday

After dinner
my love gift

Your eyes pop
seeing the pin

Small diamond
seven amethysts

A wider smile
said Thank You

Then you squinted
and asked seriously

Where were you
ten years ago

Back when I
hit Big FORTY



F William Broome 2008

What a wonderful write...a special moments captured within the heart, soul, and mind. For me the big 30 was much more difficult than the 40...I think after the forty hurdle in life, we have matured and become wiser and learned to appreciate and love every day that we are given...great write my friend!
Blessings from Ky.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
