Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Love Walked In

Love walked in, and took a bow —
Certain I was, for not a familiar face,
Surely it must be in the wrong place…

I mean, where have you been so long?

Up till now, not a Blooming Trace!

Nowhere when needed most, my heart
Forlorn with a canyon space – reconciled 
To the fact that with a Soul-mate I was not blessed 
From birth -- 

But, if you can cut the lawn, and do
General Home repair, Then~ Welcome Love,
I will Declare!

sara Etgen-Baker April 7, 2026 at 5:07 PM appreciate the humor and wit intwined with love. Nicely penned Joseph P. DiMino April 8, 2026 at 4:55 AM Hi Sara; fun to write. Blessings my friend.

Silent One April 3, 2026 at 9:50 AM Oh the complexities of love... I see you come to some kind of contentment at the end... your always make me smile.. Hope you are well my friend.. Joseph P. DiMino April 4, 2026 at 6:44 AM Thank you, Si; what the hay, a little humor never hurts. Sometimes difficult to see any humor in what is going on in the world, all the pain a suffering...but I try. I use to enjoy watching comedians on television, but so few are funny anymore. People have lost their minds.

Valsa George April 1, 2026 at 9:53 PM Love walks in at the most unexpected times, when we have abandoned all hopes of happy times. Your half witty tone is delightful, dear Joe. Joseph P. DiMino April 1, 2026 at 10:04 PM Laughter helps us deal with heartburn. I try. Thank you, my friend. Have a wonderful Easter!

Karen Jones March 30, 2026 at 2:12 PM lol this made me giggle Joe! Cute! Joseph P. DiMino March 30, 2026 at 5:11 PM Then I am happy! Thank you, Karen. Blessings.

Sara Kendrick March 30, 2026 at 1:28 PM I like what this one says. LOL..I need someone able to do both. My grandsons are trying to help plus our oldest daughter and her husband. So much is falling apart here, but I know God is going to supply what I need in more ways than one. I had a cousin a few years back whose wife died and he said every single woman around would bring him casseroles and do things for him if he would keep their cars running. LOL..Sara K Sara Kendrick March 31, 2026 at 4:14 AM My husband would be busy trying to provide a living for us and I got where I could temporarily fix some things, but eventually someone would have to do a permanent or semi-permanent job in getting it done. I used to fix a little wire on the workings of the commode with a gem clip. LOL. Eventually really when my husband was taken sick, my sons-in-law had to put in all new parts. Sara K Joseph P. DiMino March 30, 2026 at 5:18 PM Love it! Practical -- I remember the old Red Green comedy TV shows -- where he would fix, create almost anything needed around the house using duct tape. He always said, I may not be handsome, but I am handy. Funny stuff.

CayCay Godwin March 30, 2026 at 12:19 PM Clever, well written and delivered, this was a lot of fun to read. I sorely needed the grin. Thank you, Joe. Joseph P. DiMino March 30, 2026 at 12:30 PM Hi CayCay -- written just for fun, to lighten the day a bit. Can't be all gloom and doom, though the world is a mess. Thank you. Blessings.

Gershon Wolf March 29, 2026 at 8:54 PM Heh-heh. Focus on those basics, eh?... btw, that's what I say! :) gw Joseph P. DiMino March 29, 2026 at 10:25 PM Hi Gershon; what the heck -- to also cook and do laundry would be pushing it. Have a great writing week my friend. Blessings.
