A Sonnet for my hunney on his birthday
Posted on March 31st, 2010 by kimc
Unlike my oldest daughter, I am not a poet and have never really tried to be one. I do, on occasion, enjoy poetry, but the deeper sorts leave me lost.
I think we all know the first line of the sonnet below, but parts just didn't click in my brain so I've taken a few liberties, in the hopes that my sweet husband will recognize my own feeble influence in the results below.
I offer my apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
A Birthday Sonnet for my Beloved
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.I love thee to the depth and breadth and heightOf the chocolate you bring each night,For the coffee flavored Hagan Daaz.I love thee to the level of every day'snoise level, as high as the jet-engine thundering in flight.I love thy silly faces, as men strive for right;I love thy passion, thy sweet words of praise.I love thee with a passion put to useIn ten labors past, and another in May.I love thee like the drunkard loveth his booze,ever loving you more, --- I love thee with the breath,Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,I shall but love thee better after death.
