A Perfect Day

13/02/2021 – Poem a Day Compilation



Is there such a thing as a perfect day?

Is it just something that people say?



You might want the great outdoors,

But that perfection is simply yours.



Mine might be very different,

So, don’t be so vociferant.



I might want the rainy weather,

Perfect for snuggling up together.



You might crave the city lights,

The sparkle and shine of crazy nights.



I might prefer reading under covers,

Wondering if characters are friends or lovers.



You might want adventure and daring

Coming to together in the perfect pairing.



While I might need something more sedate,

Maybe watching a movie while staying up late.



You might rather steak and chips

Or buffalo wings with various dips.



I might be more partial to a seafood platter

Or crepes that could not get any flatter.



But no matter what it is we do

I know it’s perfect if it’s with you.

Opposites

I wanted to stay in and watch a movie.

You wanted to go out clubbing.

We went out to the cinema.



I like wide open spaces.

You like the city life.

We bought a unit overlooking the park.



I wanted to cook an omelette.

You wanted a five-star dining experience.

We used the good plates and had candles.



I like lazy Sunday mornings.

You like running a dawn.

We each did our own thing.



I wanted to get a kitten.

You wanted to get a dog.

We got both, and a turtle, too.



I like intimate barbeques.

You like huge parties.

We had a huge barbecue in the park.



I needed to be brought out of my shell.

You needed to be brought down to earth.

We needed each other.
