Njeri Hunjeri Poet Narrative

I'Ve Sinned

He stood there joking with me
With his Christopher Walken pose, he also had that celebrity vibe going on
Retired doc, I swear he said he was like 84
         Years
          Old

I stood there, drooling over his accent
   -I have a thing for Italian accents
I like watching that YouTube show '**** Italian moms say' - I can't stop laughing from beginning to end
I have also watched mafia documentaries and movies 
     A lot
I know, I know 
     Good girl gone gangster 

"I like your accent", I said
"What accent?", he jokingly asked
"That one, Italian am guessing", I pretended to be unsure
"Am originally from Sicily", he said
"Oh", I said
"I like your accent too", he said
"What accent?", I asked
And we busted out laughing.

Say hi hello to my new friends

Are you talking to me?

Maybe we should now talk 'bout Italian food

Hannington Mumo March 16, 2015 at 12:42 AM Poetry is not like other literary genres...if novels can have suspense, then we expect even deeper semantic chasms in poetry. Your title, if my free-roaming mind can be trusted not to think licentious things, is on-spot. Sinning came after the Italian cuisines, perhaps? You must have had a meaning beyond the stated, and that's fine with poetry! Njeri Hunjeri March 16, 2015 at 3:37 PM yes! yes! thank you Hannington.:-)

Arthur Vaso March 15, 2015 at 9:46 PM Don't worry, Eve was first!!!! LOL Loved this Njeri Hunjeri March 16, 2015 at 3:36 PM Lol, thank you Arthur. and we are so many Eves:-)

Richard Lamoureux March 15, 2015 at 9:56 AM 7 all the way! I loved this from start to finish. How about "Delicious Italian" for the title? The title you chose feels disconnected from the writing. Either way this is spectacular writing! Njeri Hunjeri March 15, 2015 at 11:07 AM I like the title delicious Italian. It goes well with my Italian theme. I just noticed too that at the end I wrote both hi and hello. Instead of just hello. Thank you Rick for the 7 and the awesome comment
