Notes About The Poem

Special Delivery

I set out to make a romantic Valentine’s dinner
The table is set with our finest crystal champagne glasses,
Silver cutlery glistens like the moonlight on a still lake
and a delicious aroma drifts from my kitchen window

Suddenly the doorbell rings
I open the door to find a handsome stranger on the doorstep
He is holding out a massive bouquet of beautiful red roses
I blush scarlet and lean forward to accept them

Then he says…

I hope you don’t mind taking these in love…
I popped a card through your neighbour’s door saying I’d leave them here!
