The Poet is Bowled Over!

Life is strange; the pun is apt

Stunned like a mullet I am – fact!

Two souls have homed in on my verse;

This recognition is a first!

 

To start, a friend from theatre days

Who feels that “Ups and Downs” * displays

Her state of mind for birthday bash

At Seventy she’ll make a splash!

 

Then young cousin, in far Adelaide

Puts writing talents on parade;

Elijah chooses for this task

My dedication** from times past.

 

I’m stunned, delighted and bemused

How disparate people are enthused …

This brace of poems makes the grade;

I put my best smile on parade!
