To Anne, On Her Seventieth Birthday Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

To Anne, On Her Seventieth Birthday

Rating: 5.0


The scent of the dying flowers
Has overtaken the room
And I cannot bring myself to get rid of them
Because they remind me of you
And yr kindness
I sit alone typing poetry
As I always do when you are away
Thinking of the adventures in the city
And the late-night phone calls
We're old enough to be mothers
But act like teenagers trying to find ourselves
Still, we feel like that when we are together
You are my sister-in-arms
And we'll continue to fight for the right
To party
