9 am

[everyadventure]

Sunshine thick as honey
and we're caught in amber light
ignoring the house as it rumbles to life.

We're upstairs, a world away
in a swirl of sheets and white heat
playing at newlyweds for a day...

A knock at our door;
I cuss and rise, but you pull me in
with a grin, murmuring between kisses,
"It must be housekeeping."

Yes, it must be,
because today I'm 19
and nobody's mother…

[Jack of Hearts]

Like the opening line quite a bit.

Like the opening 13 lines quite a bit.

[Twota]

Same as hill. :D

[Jerrybaldy]

Sounds like a slice of heaven Miss A. ( it takes a good poet to go back to being 19 ;) )

[Delta40]

Very carefree with a sunny disposition.

[PrinceMyshkin]

I wish I had a better grasp of the emotional intention of this but it shines as a recollection of a not fully understood moment (as if any moment were ever fully understood).

[paperleaves]

LOL hill, totally agree with you :)

[Hawkman]

Very, very good. :)

Live and be well - H

[beautiful_heart]

This is a nice poem. I really like it. :-)

[everyadventure]

@Hill, I actually sat here and counted the lines to see which ones you didn't like! :rolleyes:

[ShadowsCool]

I like the poem very much. Especially the line
with amber light.
