Poem I wrote in 2008

I'm trying to clean up my computer folders and I am looking through old word docs that I have written. I have a couple of poems and a wide variety of other things I have written. So the next couple of blogs here are old by a few years...I am just copy/paste all of the writings that I want to share on this blog. I have in mind that some day when Kara is older she can refer back to this blog and read through what her momma wrote about. Assuming this blog site will be around and also have all my postings still stored online...I sure hope Kara likes these when she is older.

A Man & a Woman in the Bookstore Café

Observational poem by: Martiel Hay

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

He gazes into her eyes

As she rattles on about something insignificant

He is mesmerized by her smile

And the green shade of eye shadow she has on

She leans forward in her seat

Anticipating his next word

He discreetly glances at his watch

The spark is dying down…

As he sips his hazelnut latte

She says something funny

Catching his attention

Still not sure how this blind date is going

He hopes to leave holding hands

She’s starting to get the first date jitters

And nervously tares her café napkin

As their date is coming to an end

They leave together from the bookstore café

Not holding hands

But just as good friends

To be continued…
