My Fourth

fluttering my lashes
on a bright and early morn
sun rays leaking through the panes
waking me up for the fourth
my day of birth is here
tangled hair all messed and haggard
clawing, I climb out of bed
down the stairs I staggered
frappuchino and a chocolate chip bomb
a pre meal you could say
then out for breakfast at the corner
the perfect way to start my day
I wore an orchid skirt and a snow white top
hoping to impress
drawing attention to the curves of my body
you liked the way I dressed
for the special day, a most appropriate present
you gave me the gift of time
a small-banded watch with a pretty green face
an outfit to match, and it was all mine
another secret no one knows
you granted me protection
pleasure for heather to feel the best
that was your selection
this Fourth of July went down with a bang
my words are most sincere
Independance day was not so independant
as we joined together and will remember for the rest of our years

    I'm so upset with you Heather!! Even reading this I still am not completely positive what the present was am I right about the bases? lol God will you just tell me!?! Anyway I loooved this write I agree with The Dog Man, its like a poetic diary and I loved every bit of it I read another persons poems and they are kind of the same, like a diary... I'm thinking of doing that every day or like twice a week write a poem about my day and then I could make a book or w/e lol not that you care lol but this was a wonderful write I really really liked it, its personal and happy and all about you it was wonderful... keep it up Heather!
