TANKA TUESDAY POETRY CHALLENGE no 51





breakfast brought in bed

with a bunch of red roses 

s'pose we can all dream 

ardor and desire after

forty years is unlikely

  4. I think I might sit down with my wife tomorrow and reminisce about our early years. That might be a better way to 'celebrate' this day.
