Sunflower

Snuggled up close on a sofa for three
Until September on our TV
Nibbling Thornton’s and sipping champagne
Feet playing footsie on seat three again
Lost in the warmth of each other’s embrace
Only together is our proper place
We chat about when you and I became We
Each year another anniversary 
Reminds me how lucky one old man can be

Thanks Paula. If we’re as old as we feel, I’m about 27. My birth certificate is lies, all lies. Terry

So sweet, Terry. Quiet evenings like this one are certainly to be relished and appreciated. For some they are so rare!

Thanks Milt. I worked my way through about four movies before settling on ‘Until September’. Two of those movies fitted perfectly... until I realised they didn’t begin with ‘U’. Duh! Terry

I kept waiting for the punchline but this one isn't funny. Life is good until it ain't! Nicely done Terry. Good luck.

I’m never too sure about my ‘serious’ poems. Often, they’re met with a wall of silence and I presume I missed the spot. Sometimes I leave well alone and sometimes I delete them. Sorry I deprived you of a punchline... I’ll see what I can do. Thanks Daniel. Terry
