Notes About The Poem

The Silent KISS Poetry Contest

The Silent KISS

A surprise silent kiss is to be cherished.  – by poet.,

It was evidently inescapable.
     Certainly I did not expect it at the time.

The railway station was over crowded
I was patiently waiting for my sister to arrive.
           She was supposed to wear a purple dress.
           So when I saw the dress I assumed
My sister had finally arrived. I hurried
And gave her one big hug and a silent kiss.

Where upon the stranger turned and uttered a yell.
She was not my sister and I had grabbed someone else.
        For a moment no one dared to breathe or move.
        I looked at her beautiful face, finely chiseled,
"Well, well, well," she said. "You owe me big, a dinner tonight."
I smiled. We agreed on an Italian diner.
We ordered oysters, followed by a grilled swordfish.
And a tiramisu, laced with a famous Barolo.
     It was incredible how we became so fine friends.

We agreed on meeting again. As we came to part
     I took her in my arms and it was a long silent kiss.

How romantic! The movies couldn't do it better than your poem did. Yours went from fine friends to a long silent kiss so I'm thinking more than fine friends! Loved the menu, the entire story, but, tell me, how is the sister, who picked her up? Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Delightful Victor; you are truly a romantic like the movies -- Gable and...I forget her name. A time when theater was entertaining, and wonderfully heartfelt. Great write!

It's way too friendly of her to just go on a date with a stranger just like that. Brilliant writing! Had me grinning :)

Well, I don't recommend meeting gals this way as it usually ends up with a slap across the cheek or a night in jail, but in this case it worked out. Serendipity? Time will tell
