Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #354
This Birthday
by Belinda Roddie
This birthday was a nice one, all in all;
it didn't need to be extravagant
for me to be happy and have a ball,
and the festivities were hardly scant.
I enjoyed the weather and gladly sipped
a milkshake with my wife beside the bay,
and after we had made a couple trips
to the store, she and I had dinner made,
which we consumed while watching a fun show
on Netflix. The presents also were lovely
that I received, and don't worry, I know
I'll have to send out thank you cards. For me,
a quiet birthday was all that I'd need,
with love sent from both friends and family.
