Friends remind me on

Facebook of my birthday

My spouse celebrated with me

At Bortlotti’s excellent cake

And ice cream parlour with

Its stylish interior related

To Art Deco with Italian flair.

Reflecting back 79 years

It seems that the scribe in me

Has to survive to tell the tale.

Hopefully challenging tasks

For drawings

Paintings and novels

Will still come to fruition

While my spouse has a mission

To find a free space

Exhibiting the paintings of the

Artist ZG

My Muse looks over my shoulder

I feel gentleness

Love and sensuality

All she promised to send as her

Spirit to me.
