Happy Birthday, Viv!

1 Dec

Our lovely Viv is 75 today!

Happy Birthday!

Viv is still in hospital but on the mend and desperate to access the internet.

To celebrate her birthday, I have written a simple senryu, to complement the one she wrote yesterday, in her hospital bed, on the spot and over the phone to her daughter, who posted it on Viv’s blog.

Viv has been alive
for seventy-five years.  I
am glad she is here.

Visit her blog and
push her numbers up to
80k.  Make her day.

Happy Birthday, Viv!  We miss you.

For more Six Word Saturdays, go here.

    At first I thought I had clicked onto the wrong blog (it doesn’t take much to confuse me) when I saw your festive theme! Very Christmassy! 🙂
    Get well wishes to Viv from me too.

    Thanks for the update. Lovely poetic tribute, too. I’m heading over now.

    As for your blog’s new look: it’s nice, but….Christmasy. This grinch will merely tolerate for the season.

    Oh wonderful – glad to hear she is feeling better. I was missing her submissions to the poetry challenge.
    I am risking the loss of Maltesers to say Love, love, love the Festive Look!

I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch.
