A very special day is here
Because it doesn’t happen much
Cupid gets to play again
Deciding whose heart to touch
Every four years it comes around
For some it is quite thrilling
Getting ready for the moment
Hoping that their partner’s willing!
It takes a lot of courage and
Just a little bit of planning
Keeping so many secrets
Leading to misunderstanding
Making sure the moment’s right
Now what was I going to say?
Oh my God, I’ve lost my nerve
Perhaps another day
Quitting now is stupid
Really, it has to be tonight
Sitting here together
The setting is just right
Under the gleaming moonlight,
Velvet softness of the sky
Will you marry me I ask?
Xcitement fills the air
Yes, I was hoping you would ask me
Zealous cheering everywhere!
Well done, Judy! Very nice! You really should publish a book of your poetry. 🙂

I think it’s terrific! I self-published my Clemmie Cat book, and I know what you mean. There’s a lot to organize. I know it will be wonderful. Best wishes! 🙂

Lovely and cheery poem, clever as always with a touch of humor. I’m sure many men are fans of getting married on leap year that way they only have to remember their anniversary every 4 years. 😉

Oh, so sweet! You can laugh at me but I did not know that the February 29th was meant as a day for love and proposal. I first read it in Ritu’s story and now in your poem.
