Pink Tulips

HEAD DOODLING BACK


He had left
pink tulips 
nonchalantly perched 
near the still steaming coffee pot.

(sentimental – but not gushy)

And they greeted me 
in gobsmacked giggles.

(apparently, they were in on the joke)

Then I noticed: 
he had sliced a cinnamon bagel in two 
and placed each half in the toaster, 
ready to go.

I smiled – out loud – 
and whispered:  Flirt!

  6. I think I may remember this one from the old blog? A delight to read it again as it is adorable. Both the gestures of the courter and the thoughts and words of the recipient!

    1. Thanks Jennifer. Yep - Pink Tulips was posted a while back on my Head Doodles Blog. I do pull out, one of my oldies from time to time and repost, since - for the longest time - you were my only follower. I've sure appreciated your support over the years!
