For Sally

Perhaps it was the leaves turning green. Or, was it heather-blue skies above? May have been sunset choosing between ruffling red or apricot clouds with love. It could have been the lovely birdsong; quaint mockingbird singing his refrains, breeze hugging trees as it skipped along, raindrops gently kissing windowpanes. Whatever it was, caused me to forget your birthday--I'm filled now with shame. However, I feel spring had an effect. Those roses, I'm quite sure, are to blame!

Blame it on the days of wine and roses, perhaps. You fell asleep after all that wine... Seriously, the images you've created are delightful, Ann. :) gw

When absorbed in the beautiful scenes and sounds around, we tend to forget some of our obligations. When I am in the world of poetry, many a time I forget my daily chores. Beautiful Ann....
