Sonnets from the hubby this Friday 56

I came across William Zink's writing in his touching book Pieta, and with it, I was given Homage: Sonnets from the Husband. How many of us would *swoon* to have the hubby write to us?

It's a pity that copies of this book are so limited. Zink is a wonderful writer, and he offers this slim, no- fuss volume to his wife (of course) with this: 

Without adornment, in simple black and white,
I offer these sonnets to you, my wife, as both mirror
and looking glass. What more can man offer than
to stand naked, earnest in intent, available for scrutiny,
before his one true love?

(Ok, you can breathe now :) ) I like to flip through this book before I go to sleep, and imagine myself on the receiving end of each. 

So, do you want to join this meme? Friday 56 is easy:

• Grab a book, any book. 
• Turn to page 56. 
• Find any sentence that grabs you. (Yes, I cheat sometimes and put a little more than a sentence!) 
• Post it. 
• Add your (url) post in Freda's Voice Linky.

Have a wonderful weekend, lovelies!
