Poem for her 983

The storms of summer

 

The cabin was secure we had a rock cave nearby

Our spring water came from there

The card game was still afoot

When the reports said a Gale was blowing

It was fun

I liked stormss

The fire wood pile was stocked

The food stores handy

Water was Ice cold year around

We used the cave as the summer fridge

Happy Birthday Babe,

 

Charles.

Poem for her 982

Away for the week

 

I came back to the cabin

Having been gone for a week

The blue book had a blank page

Then drawings

Two flowers pressed

And lipstick in a kiss

I kissed her for a day

It took that long it seemed

May was just around the corner

White coat in the elevator

Kissing between floors

Kissing during our card game

Then the snow fell

And first kiss of the new Year

All that day long of her lips 

On mine


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 981

Leaves

Colors galore

All on a white backdrop

This year again

The leaf collection

The colors many

The kinds glowing

Garden herbs scenting the cabin

Her face

Hands in photos


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.



Poem for her 980

 Fall

The cabin was chilly when we got back

The fire wasn't cold yet

So I found the glowing ashes

Soon the heat scared off the chill

That and the long winter blanket

Hot mugs of tea

And a card game


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 977

 Photo Album


The pages were many

In many books

Photos of her

Hands with flowers

Side long glances

Things we saw

Places we'd go

Everywhere a sunshine

Her


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.



Poem for her 976

Blue Moon


One of those rare moon nights

She was in the photo

She was in all the photos

Some just a slice of face

Others the whole force

Of her

All a glow


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 975

Fall chill

 


They liked the card table 

It was over by the door to the cheese room

Using our cave for aging cheese

Was a great option

Years for some cheeses

Months for others

Just a card game today

As leaves turn colors

 

 

Happy Birthday Babe

Charles

Poem for her 974

Summer heat

It was cool in the cave

Where a spring flowed from

We also stored things there out of the icy weather

It was cool in summer and warmer in winter

We were sitting playing cards 

We had planning to do

The cave was great for summer planning


Happy Birthday Babe,


Charles.
