Chris Green Poet Sonnet

Anywhere If I'M With You

Anywhere if I’m with you

She asked me where I’d like to go
If money didn’t matter
I said I didn’t really know
My mind began to scatter

Toronto, Athens, maybe France
Aruba sounded fine
Casablanca, such romance
Though Italy has wine

London, Dublin, Amsterdam
Malta, New York City
Acapulco, Nottingham
All of them are pretty

But then I said my answer true
It’s anywhere if I’m with you

CayCay Godwin February 22, 2017 at 4:35 AM Reading, I warmed to the sincere virtues offered in each place on your traveling dream list. I then grinned at the romantic ending. I visualized it as a romantic flirt generating tender and mutual warming smiles, followed by a very enjoyable and intimate ... discussion to determine the 'where.' Hugs ... CayCay Chris Green February 22, 2017 at 8:11 AM Thanks so very much my friend. Narrowing that list down won't be easy but it sure will be fun. :) I appreciate your kindness CayCay.
