Lucky Guess

05/09/2020 -  Poem a Day Compilation



Our first date was to a fancy restaurant.

I arrived before you and took the liberty

Of ordering a drink for you

        “Espresso Martini? How did you know?”

“Lucky guess,” I replied with a grin.



For our second date, I suggested a movie.

They were showing classics at the local cinema

And this week it was Labyrinth.

        “My favourite. How did you know?”

“Lucky guess,” I replied with a smile.



On our third date, I bought you flowers

From a stand in the park,

Red carnations tied with a bow.

        “My birth flower. How did you know?”

“Lucky guess,” I replied with a laugh.



During the fourth date, I dared propose

With a ring of gold studded with garnets,

And I wondered, out loud for all to hear,

“How did I end up with a woman like you?”

        “Just lucky, I guess,” you replied with a wink.
