Mickeybear, I missed you being there, but I know you were with me in spirit. And our poem was very well-received, I'm happy to say!
I'll post the poem here, to share with those of you who couldn't make it to the Sweet Sixteens bash:
"Sweet Sixteens", a sixteen-line poem presented with love and purrs from Marilyn MonREOW and Mickey Mantle
Sixteen years ago or more they fit
Curled up into a hand
Such energy, they couldn't sit
For long: the wee firebrands!
Twelve years ago or more they lived
Their lives as young adults
With exuberance and purrs to give,
Athletic prowess to exult.
Four years ago or more they grew
Calmer, contemplative
Quiet wisdom felt quite new
To those who'd been so sportive.
Today, the Sweet Sixteens (or more),
Know love and living intertwine
And daily from their hearts outpour
Dear joy for life divine.

Now that I'm home, I'm going to work on a Villanelle for my Mickeybear, to present to him when he gets back. And guess what else I did today... I played Box Wars with my little brother, MaoMao! *giggle*

That party was really awesome. It was nice to meet you there. I really enjoyed the poem reading. Too bad Mickey couldn't make it.
Ooh. I love villanelles! 'Do not go gently into that good night...' that's a villanelle, isn't it? But they're so tricky! I'm sure you'll do an awesome job, though.
Hi Marilyn,
It was a wonderful weekend and very special...Hugs And Purrs Ariel
I really love the Sweet Sixteens poem. It made me feel a little bit melancholy.
Thank you for the wonderful week end! It was so great of you to teleport over to my place! We had so much FUN!

Love
You're looking lovely today, Marilyn.
