The Proposal

Just the two of us

Down on one knee (so I can reach you)

“Baby girl, will you be my Valentine?”

I’ll take that loud purr as a yes!

‘We’ll have treats for dinner

And playtime for desert.”

She gazes at me with her big, adoring eyes,

And I fall in love all over again.

This micro-poem has been written for the Vocal Challenge ‘Love in 50 Words’.

My baby girl, Grizabella, is the only one I want to spend Valentine’s Day with, hence her proposal. I’m happy to say, she said yes 😊

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
