Gershon Wolf Poet Alliteration

Long Leisurely Lunch

Lazy, long, leisurely lunch,
    Lolling, laughing, lingering,
     O'er lamb-stew, linguini 'n lager.

   In Louisville, Los Angeles, Las Vegas,
    London, Lisbon, or Lyon;
     At Los Olivos, Las Palmas, La Paloma,
      La Scala, La Baguette, or La Castilla:

   Let lunch lie palatially on your palate,
    Let lunch slowly settle in your limbs,
     Let lunch last always:
      Let it lustrate and luminate
       Life lived long and lived well.

Line Gauthier February 27, 2018 at 9:55 AM Delightful alliterations. Well done, Gershon. Gershon Wolf February 27, 2018 at 11:08 AM Thank you, as always, for checking it out and for your encouragement!!! :) Gershon P.S. You know, I left out "Let's do lunch" from this one. Then again, maybe that's a good thing...
