December Birthdays

Hello Poetry Lovers

Even though we are looking at a New Year, I thought as we’re still in December – just, I’d share my recent birthday poem penned by my lovely and talented friend, Trisha Broomfield. 

Not only is it beautifully written, it also sums me up to a tee! Great insight there, Trisha and thank you again so much. Please read on, because I think you will agree

Birthday Poem

This cold weather’s not for me 

I’m looking for me best cardi

but Dobby’s got her paws on it 

despite the fact it doesn’t fit. 

She sleeping in me best handbag

I’d better go and have a fag.

I write a lot about past times

love haibuns, triolets and eye rhymes. 

You know that Julie was a slag. 

I’d better have another fag. 

This bleep bleep housework is a bore

I’ve got to wash me kitchen floor 

You know where I would like to be ?

me feet up with a G & T. 

Of creativity I’m a hive

I make friends’ poems come alive

I’m a Lovely and I’m Booming 

I see success for us is looming 

I’ll write us up, I do reviews,

now what’s the very latest news?

Wasn’t that such a terrific piece?! I will treasure that for the rest of my birthdays to come. And yes, watch out for us Booming Lovelies in 2024! 

Thanks for tuning in, Poetry Lovers, I will indeed see you next year!
