My Birthday Party
MY BIRTHDAY PARTY
Once,
I invited some special friends
to my tea party,
I made cheese, cress and tomato sandwiches,
blueberry yogurt and a pot of jasmine tea.
I spread a white linen table cloth I’d embroidered with flowers one evening when
I was alone,
I placed a blue vase covered with purple flowers and bluebirds
on the table,
. . . prepared some words for a poem to read to my friends,
I waited by my window all evening, then waited some more,
. . . but nobody came,
I died a little more that night.
Tom McFerran.
