Best Friend by Ivy Jones

Best Friend

The most perfect day just happened to me.

There was a bench, sun, smell of spring, and he.

They could hear the beach roar of waves crashing down

On top of one another for hours.

There was a light breeze to help cool them down.

The sand in her toes felt exceptional

And his hand in hers completed the day.

The most perfect day just happened to me.

There were balloons, ribbons, and streamers there

For the big surprise on her special day.

I helped organize her secret party.

She deserved everything to be perfect

And seeing the smile on her face showed

That she was happy on her special day.

The most perfect day just happened to me.

Church bells chimed, rang, and rung to celebrate

The event of the season. The colors

Were pearl, peach, and lavender shimmering

From each corner of the church hall and off

The dress, more beautiful to see on her

Than just looking at the photo before.

Her groom was so happy and so was she

They were marrying each other for life.

The most perfect day just happened to me.

There was screaming and yelling from the room

I never thought they would make it back out.

Hours later they called us into the

Room, after waiting all night it was done

She was tired and sweating from pushing.

Now a little pink blanket draws all eyes.

Poem of the day: The Most Perfect Hill by Lisa Jarnot

On this most perfect hill

with these most perfect dogs

are these most perfect people

and this most perfect fog

In this most perfect fog

that is the middle of the sea

inside the perfect middle of

the things inside that swing

In this most perfect rhyme

that takes up what it sees,

with perfect shelter from the

rain as perfect as can be,

In this most perfect day

at the apex of the sun

runs this most perfect

frog song that is roiling

from the mud

In these most perfect habits

of the waving of the trees,

through this imperfect language

rides a perfect brilliancy.
