Tim Ryerson Poet Tanka

One Scene From One Movie

Wife yells out the door
"Don't forget the cannoli
and DON'T BACK OVER THE KIDS!"
'Alright, already!'
Another day on the job
(Gotta go murder some guy)


Richard Castellano (Clemenza) 'Leave the gun, take the cannoli' in
The Godfather Pt. I

Monterey Sirak March 4, 2014 at 6:37 AM This is great. So imaginative. Maybe you should host a contest to condense scenes from favorite movies into poems. I love the concept.
