A Poem for Thursday

The Two Sisters.

two sisters

stand

side by side

smiling at me

cherry blossom

falling

like pink snowflakes
they

coat the grey pavement

with colour

in the monotone world
of the fifties.

they
 reared me

hauled me up

wiped my nose

straitened my parting

told me

"stand up tall".


I've put this in a bit early as I don't want to miss the dVerse OpenLinkNight Week 42
Anyway the Thursday in the title is there, as I was born on a Thursday!
