Gin and Tonic Magic

Was making dinner for my honey, mine. I realized, alas, I added far too much thyme. He whispered, “you are thinking way too much of rhyme!” Quickly I filled us glasses, with ice-cold tonic, gin and lime. That softened him and he softly whispered, “Well, I guess after all, it’s no big crime.” He was my love, so invitingly delicious and ever so sublime. A peek for you, into my love-life’s, poetic summertime! 7/22/2022 ~ 1 ~

Very clever, funny + engaging. Nothing like dinner time, one's mate, a beverage + a little seasoning to spice one's muse into action. Well done! Brian

Linda…they might! It’s a balancing act, methinks. Not that simple to pen coherent poems..comment and do what your family needs done. Family should come first, always. The site will be here tomorrow. Plus you must care for you. And pets if you have any. And relaxation is a must.nice to see you today. Have a pleasant evening, Panagiota xxx

Hi Panagiota, Loved this wonderful write. Well, I have my humour for this evening. I loved the rhyming and the story in equal amounts. An excellent piece. Hugs always ..... Mike. XX

You don't worry about commenting, my friend. You get feeling better. That is what is important ..... Mike. XX

My dear Mike! I rarely try humor, I certainly was not advocating for liquor. The scene just came to my imagination, equal amounts is an appropriate and true evaluation of this poem. I apologize for not commenting to your poetry… I am not feeling well today, yuk. Just trying to sleep and get better. Thank you and I wish you the very best. Panagiota xxx

Oh i love this, the panorama of a peek, the poetry is superb, not only clever, and a touch of humour, but truly interesting also.

Thank you, Harry. I could not have summed it up as well as you did! It takes a true poet like you to see all those qualities. Add the music of the Gershwins to this..you have me on a roll! Many thanks, Panagiota xxx

Yes, Andrea! I love music and poetry. They have much in common. Watching an old movie of the Gershwin brothers. Awesome…music and rhymed poetry make my heart sing! Thank you. Panagiota xxx

Pangie, ice-cold tonic, gin and lime in summertime sounds sublime, too much thyme and rhyme, who cares when one’s having a wonderful time… Belle x

Belle…deserves a COTD..,wonderfully poetic comment and delightful for this poet to read. I think lyrically,so big smiles from this humble poet to read. Panagiota xxx

Hey, Paula. It’s so nice to know it was fun! That means I achieved my goal! Love makes eating a true delight…my family is in Reno! No, not gambling! Grandson pitching in baseball tournaments …they already won four games. Yaa! Panagiota xxx
