Notes About The Poem
The first line of this poem is a metaphor for Valentine's Day. That is when my husband and I first met.
Late Winter Surprise
Heart-shaped box of chocolates, late Winter surprise.
See sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes.
She knows him now, all too well, every inch of him.
This sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes.
A straight and narrow arrow flew from Cupid’s bowstring.
Struck sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes.
He had to open them then - cause and effect of love.
This sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes.
She was unexpected, for his fancy was charming.
Grins sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes.
On the date set, another sailor came to make claim.
Shocked sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes.
Oh poor boy…poor, poor sailor boy was a contestant.
Watch sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes.
Wouldn’t you know it…yes…his heart, branded by a poet.
Her sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes.
