Meeting For Lunch

How delightful to sit at a table
Out-of-doors with a friend having lunch,
Catching up on the latest since last time,
Trading stories between every munch.

With a breeze and a sun-block umbrella,
Watching all types of people pass by,
It’s the loveliest way of connecting
And I guess you can understand why.

Sidewalk cafes were always popular in Paris, but the big difference between NYC and Paris is the perfume drifting by . . . . Enjoyed, and may you enjoy many more such outings! Aloha!

Just say NO to ZOOM!... Great to reconnect, as you've poetically illustrated, ilene!

I certainly do understand why, Ilene. So nice to be able to sit outside and leisurely chat with friends. In fact, I plan to do just that this evening when I dine with my niece. I loved your poem. I hope you also will do it again many times before the sun gets overpowering.
