The First And The Best! Poem by Denis Martindale

It's our poetry that reminds us that we don't
actually walk around talking in such
eloquent and descriptive language as this.

We are quite flippant in everyday speech,
but it's in using our best writing skills
that we deliberately pick and choose
from our vocabulary to full advantage.

So it permeates the style, the presentation,
the quintessential heart of our emotions
and the blessings of all our senses brought to bear.

It's as if we're savouring every single second,
because we feel fully alive, and that, of course,
is just because we're falling in love, as if this were,
the first and the best time of them all...

Falling in love is sometimes Autumn-atic...
yet whatever the season that love is born again,
we should embrace it with the deepest affection,
show we're truly thankful, every time, because,
in case you didn't know it, or have forgotten,
love is truly lovely... any time of the year...
