Ramblings of a Northern Girl — PD in Poetry 2024 — Week 14 — Unwanted Anniversary
Nine unpredictable years since you collided with my world.
There is much that I could bemoan,
There are scathing words that would not be polite,
Yet today, I choose a different trajectory.
There are bright new flowers bursting through the hard ground,
A day for eating popcorn, taking in the wisdom of Kung Fu Panda,
Smiling at the pain of a repeated week 7 of Couch to 5K,
These are the things I purposefully celebrate,
Nine years to the day the Parky train rode into town.
Destination still unknown, but I kinda like it that way.
