M. L. Kiser Poet Free verse

Bella Cucina

Penne and spinach
with walnuts and gorgonzola
on top...ummmmmm.
All the fresh garden salad,
you can eat
and garlic bread sticks, too.

Black forest, cherry cheesecake,
with cherry syrup
rolling down the sides,
of a plate drizzled
the liquid chocolate.

Murals of flowery scenes
and music to set your mood;
old Italy permeates the senses,
while you dine in this place.
Bella cucina;
Such beautiful food!

Vita e bellissimo
quando hai cibo bellissimo.

Life is very beautiful, 
when you have beautiful food.
