The day will not go unmarked:
A tribute in kind of light
Blocks out the dark loneliness and holds fast.
The delight of the unpermitted,
A secret sense of sweet pleasure
Dissolves on the tongue:
Who is to see
This succulent treat for me?

About pensitivity101
I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes!
We have recently lost our beloved dog Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney, and now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of my GSD so had hers done too.
From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives.
We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
I love this poem, it is indeed a treat for both the eyes and the heart!
I love cupcakes with the swirly topping.
Definitely a treat Di! A beautiful poem my friend. Thanks
Glad you liked it Sadje.
🙏👍
