Poem - Day 15

Do I?

My brother is

and I rejoice,

but puzzle at

the brouhaha

My sister said

she might not wait

another year

past 39

My other sister

wanted to

but couldn’t in

our sunburnt land

My son observed

you don’t have to

just fall in love

like mum and dad

My parents’

lasted 26

but now they aren’t

on speaking terms

My book revealed

at 40-odd

Miss Potter did

for 30 years

I resolved

if we survive

three decades

maybe

we should

too
