A Birthday Night Out

Tall and slender,
she graced the noisy restaurant
draped in Madonna blue.

Her laughter sparkled.
Her pale skin revealed
a filigree of venous lace.

Her eyes bubbled, as she
poured the veuve clicquot,
and read aloud the words of wit
penned by her wild and woolly brothers.

Tonight my daughter charmed.
Bright as the shooting star
that exploded
the day of her birth.

i like it, it remembers the joy of having been born long time ago

Bright as the shooting star
that exploded
the day of her birth

An exquisite image to be remembered. Paul Valery, a poet, said that a poem is a holday of mind. This certainly is.
