ANNIVERSARY … Maureen Clifford © The #ScribblyBark Poet


Looking through photographs of the past
I found a picture of her
on the page,
standing in the garden
beneath pewter coloured clouds
after summer storms had passed.

She had grace and charm
dressed so elegantly, wearing pearl earrings
and a pearl necklace – her ‘something old’
as she proudly displaying her wedding ring.

A touch of romance was in the air.
Friend and family were all smiling and happy
and birdsong surrounded us
drifting in on sweet scented breezes
fragranced by wattle and eucalyptus.

And today – forty years later
she still has grace and charm.
My lady is still beautiful – and I will replace
those pearls with rubies.

Ah Maureen! I have really missed your poetry!

This is a truly romantic tale. Beautiful images all through. I felt I could see her, your descriptions were so vivid.

I hope we will see more of you - you have been missed!

Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.
Laugh loud & often - it's medicinal.
Write from the heart - it's therapeutic.
Beauty comes from within - the outer is just skin!
