Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Happy Anniversary

I wanted to write you a 
love poem.  Then thought,
most love poems nauseatingly
lame.  Recycled beautiful,
luscious, adorably cookie-cutter all
the same.  Not singular,  as Hollywood
Gable and Lombard!  More like, 
Hallmark~ just fill in the name.
With that in mind, I bought you
a rose, that will wither and die…
on the front seat of a new Alfa
Romeo, to continue park with me
or freely fly.  Happy Anniversary.

Gershon Wolf December 7, 2025 at 7:31 PM After all, what would that Alfa Romeo be without the rose on its dash?! Joseph P. DiMino December 8, 2025 at 6:28 AM No less a heck of a sports' car. Thank you, Gershon. Just a poem. Don't have one.
