A Toast
by V. Blakewords are cheap,
but i am weak,
and i've not much else to offer.
so here’s to last night,
for helping you forget everything
you hoped not to remember today,
that you might raise a glass to tomorrow,
for waking up with a reason
to wake up. 01/25/2010 Author's Note: Poemuary entry #25.

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 03/06/11 at 02:21 PM But YOUR words are never cheap. Always there to provoke me to pay the price of dwelling thoughtfully in your meaning. Well done, Vince. |
