Written for Quadrille Monday dVerse Poets Pub; De Jackson is
asking us to create a 44-word poem using the word “Friday”.
My poem is a Dectina Refrain:
1st line is 1 syllable, 2nd line is 2 syllables
3rd line is 3 syllables, and so on for 9 lines;
the 10th line is comprised of the first four lines
as one stand-alone sentence.
Our
Friday
night dinner
we wait all week
to sit on the couch
and eat sexy pizza
with cheese like hot melted love,
gooey and deliciously good,
and we drink tall glasses of red wine.
Our Friday night dinner we wait all week

In answer to your question, I’ll say this: To have a happy & healthy 52-year-long relationship, a little creativity comes in handy. 😊

Thanks! It certainly doesn’t feel like that much time has gone by and, of course, neither of us looks any older! Three quarters of my life has been with my amazing man.
