Tall and slender, <br />she graced the noisy restaurant <br />draped in Madonna blue. <br /> <br />Her laughter sparkled. <br />Her pale skin revealed <br />a filigree of venous lace. <br /> <br />Her eyes bubbled, as she <br />poured the veuve clicquot, <br />and read aloud the words of wit <br />penned by her wild and woolly brothers. <br /> <br />Tonight my daughter charmed. <br />Bright as the shooting star <br />that exploded <br />the day of her birth.<br /><br />Alison Cassidy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-birthday-night-out/
