Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #190
Grandma Left Me
by Belinda Roddie
Grandma left me out of her will because
I didn't marry the man she wanted
me to marry. He looked like Santa Claus,
from the beard to a nose so fat and red,
it looked like a tomato. Besides, we
became good friends, and he said he never
could imagine himself being with me
as a soulmate. I didn't mind; we were
happy that way. And I found someone who
made me feel warm and quite special as a
spouse, someone who just showed out of the blue
as I waited for my train one dull day.
So I didn't get some of Grandma's things -
I'll gladly exchange them for wedding rings.
