Your Not So Funny Face

Dimples worn upon your cheeks those early days when we would meet... Slowly morphed, and were then replaced by parenthesis, that would surround your face your mouth, your forehead, and you were bound with worried frowns They were not there when first we met It is my bet, and I would gage the consequence that comes with age.........or........ perhaps in fault, I'll estimate, the end result of many years of marriage? !!! A crease in your brow as deep as a ocean from worries grown and worries known since knowing me! I have a notion your forehead betrays unhinged emotions with lines you display from every commotion! The wrinkles you bear..., the tinge of gray hair..., I may have put there! In spite of my care in spite of my flair my honest intentions, while paying attention were part of my charm and devotion !!

I like this poem very much, Carrie. It is skillfully crafted with marvelous imagery--and the theme? Ah yes, time and the consequence of it. it's a big theme, but you handle it so well :) T was a pleasure to read. Stop by my crib, if you get the chance. Hugs // mel // :)
