Blessed day

he pushed me harder 
i squealed, Higher! 

he chased me around the ground
i shouted in glee, won the round 

he huffed & puffed until he greyish ill   
i was carried away by his charm,  still   

  a cool chick, he still calls me    
laughing , we walked home 

together, blessed with angels,
the best life. 




Today happens to be our wedding anniversary.  


Author's Note:    This post is for Poetry Jam hosted by Bug.  The theme is to imagine what our life will be at age 67 and using a form we don't normally use (I tried to rhyme).  What a challenge ~

Shared with Flash Fiction 55:  Tell a story in 55 words. G-Man, joining you this time.

    Congratulations on your anniversary! You did a sweet job on that challenge. I like to see old couples and imagine they've been married happily for decades.

    Trust me, being robustly chased is no longer my idea of fun, but I do love the thought behind it, which can still be expressed without the panting and needing to sit down and cool off for twenty minutes. ;_) Loved your 55.

    I hope my hubby still chases me at that age and stage of our lives (and I hope I still want him to catch me - lol)

    Perfect 55.
