City Lights Bookstore Memoirs

     A San Francisco Haiku Quartet



           Oh San Francisco
           Beat poets Ferlinghetti
           North Beach was our city

           Hushed conversations
           Rich coffees and biscotti
           Smothered in rich fog

           Our French cigarettes
           Then under table footsies
           Moonlit hills our home

           Cable cars singing
           Golden Gate from our window
           Heaven and stars..ours


              {In Memory of Ralph}

Kai Michael Neumann Date: 5/14/2020 5:19:00 AM This is a wonderful story. A fine tribute. Do you still live in San Francisco? I have not been there for nearly forty years. Lived in Los Gatos for a year as a High School student and went to the Golden Gate City as often as I could. Now I live in a small Pueblo in Spain. Eloped 13 years ago and never looked back. Kind wishes to you and take good care, Kai Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 5/14/2020 5:48:00 PM Kai~ this was way long ago. My husband died at 35 and is buried in Marin County. But never did I regret eloping. I left the BayArea...went back to Chicago....arg! I finally returned and lived in SF in 75~ glorious place then.i live in the San Joaquin Valley now. So you live in Spain! Awesome, my friend.have a terrific evening...Panagiota xxoo
