Better Than

Better than It’s better than chocolate cake drenched in whipped cream A day off to sleep in almost until noon A warm summer day near a slow moving stream The stars in the sky and a smiling moon The juiciest steak prepared medium rare Seeing my team win the championship Watching a kite as it floats in the air Making a milkshake and taking a sip A trip to the beach with a cooler of beer Skiing the slopes on a fresh coat of snow Expecting rain but then finding it clear It’s so much better I want you to know In case you do wonder what all of this means What you now see in the phrases above Nothing, not even my wildest dreams Could ever be better than being in love

Cool romantic flow this poem be, Chris. Rhymes that bounce, rhythmic phrases that move on a soulful groove. This poem has got big hearted swing, it's got the sweetest flavor of my favorite poetry ice cream. Such romantic joy you bring. Stellar poem, my friend. Love and peace.

Morning Mr. Chris. You bet "better than". It was marvelous and a nice poetic touch the deserts. And yes of course the beach, well I don't have to tell you of that expression. This is beautiful poetry in its entirety starting with the title. Hope the weekend was fine. Enjoy the morning and day.
