Today, I’m participating, as I do every week, in Poetic Thursday, hosted by Pam and her ‘boys” at Two Spoiled Cats.
This is the photo Pam provided for inspiration this week. Isn’t it magical?
And here’s my poem:
Birthday Cruise
The water’s like glass, so let’s ‘sail’ away,
just ‘round the harbor, not out to the bay.
A magical night we’ll spend out here
on a cruise to celebrate another year.
This is a perfect place to watch the sun set;
the start of an evening we won’t ever forget.
Later, we’ll keep our eyes to the skies,
and watch for the “Strawberry Moon” to rise.
It’s a birthday boat with a ‘candle’ on top;
my wish? That, for a moment, time would just stop.
A night that’s as special as it can be,
spent with my love. Happy Birthday to me.
This was an especially fun poem to write… for my birthday!
~These Days Of Mine~
these days of mine 
Great job on the poem this week and you made it “all yours” since it’s your birthday today. Hope it’s a magical day – as magical as this photo we found for everyone to use this week!
Hugs, Pam
Perfectly, magically done!
It is magical, indeed and happy birthday 🎉
Very nice … and very appropriate ! .. & another great opening line – going out, but not too far – just the harbor .. that’s the way to do it sometimes ! Happy Birthday !
You deserve a magical birthday indeed, my friend!
I loved every word. So fitting and perfect.
How wonderful!!! A Birthday poem for you – it’s perfect – even including the Strawberry Moon. Hope to see it tonight. Happy Birthday to you!
