Mark Riedel Poet Free verse

Sharing a Sunday Afternoon

with my multicolored
bundle of
     charismatic joy

Running back and forth

              to and fro,

putting her "babies" to sleep,

"Wow, everybody's sleeping
Oh, I'm sooo happy!"
(she announces so simply)

     with blankets and covers
              on each one -

     so ritualistic 
             and real to her

             dropping them like
                                         luggage
                                         at La Guardia
on a shining Sunday afternoon

without apprehension or slightest
             care of tomorrow,

                                       Monday Morning
