Old Flame


Today's napowrimo prompt from readwritepoem asked us to write about an old flame...
I called an old flame
today
but the words
came out wrong.
Twenty years of
talking
And we still
haven’t learned.
I guess that’s what
happens
when your old flame,
your husband,
and your first love
are one
and the
same.

  1. Oh, this hit the nail right on the head!

    "Twenty years of
    talking
    And we still
    haven’t learned."

    Sigh. Me, either! ;)

  3. Sweet. I cannot imagine being and staying married to your first love! That must mean so much to your boys.

    Lydia-I'm not sure my boys give it much thought now, but I think when they are older they will appreciate it. (At least I hope so).
    Claire-glad I made you smile.
    Annie-Thanks. And glad your mom is doing better. I've been thinking good thoughts for both of you...
