Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Chance Encounter

Great sunrise this morning
This time I was able to snag
A few rays, put them in my
Upper shirt pocket, to carry
About.  Right off, a driver
Cut me off...reached in, withdrew
And smiled.  Boss canceled
My day off – a rush job that
Had to be completed, I withdrew
Another.  By the end of the day
They were all gone – Ah, moon-
Light, another opportunity! We
Met~ and the night beamed!
