Dan Cwiak Poet Couplet

Rome-Antic Dinner

Have you had a dinner overlooking Rome?
A quiet, garden setting, where you two are alone?

Darkened bushes, candlelit table, with tiny lights all aglow,
romanticize the setting, as we all know.
 
Start with a glass of a fine red wine,
aged just right, and sweet as the vine.

A little Antipasto is what I certainly would say,
Cheeses, Salami, Pepperoni, and Flatbreads all go a long way. 

A Caesar Salad prepared at your table side and done, 
by a young Brazzi look alike, with a certainty of perfection.
 
The glass of a fine white wine will next set the pace,
changing the evening, while staying in place.
 
The Entree ordered is a delicious Piece of Sole,
large enough to share, baked to its flaky goodness in whole.

Asparagus Spears, Broccoli, or Italian Beans simmered with soy,
could all be accepted as Side Dishes with our fish to enjoy.

Tiramisu for her, Creme Brule' for me with its golden crown,
with an Ice Wine to wash these tasty Desserts down.

Then a Latte or Cappuccino might just do,
with some Creme Sherry to finish the mood.

A short romantic walk to the Trevi 'neath Rome's idyllic moon,
means that our dinner has ended all too soon. 

Our "Special Evening" however, is only done,
When we later make love to each other...uniting as one.

Poet Destroyer A October 26, 2015 at 2:08 AM Dan, I would like it very much if you call me LINDA, --PD seems kind of odd, coming from someone I admire very much. But, if you want to see me as PD, fine. Thank you for the reply on my comment. LINDA Dan Cwiak October 26, 2015 at 3:46 AM Thanks, Linda. I appreciate the comments that you make on my work very much. I only referenced PD because I didn't have any other name associated with you. Forgive me if I sometimes may still refer to you as PD. I still don't know everyone, so I respond to their screen names. I'll try to remember, but at my age...lol Poet Destroyer A October 26, 2015 at 2:09 AM Besides, I only sign off as Linda, when I;m comfortable with that certain someone. LINDA <--- you see :)

Poet Destroyer A October 25, 2015 at 11:33 PM Hi Dan, I like the creative title. :) I like the ending fire as one. Awesome swirling passions, to satisfy & subdue each other's dinner plate. splendid write. LINDA Dan Cwiak October 26, 2015 at 2:06 AM Thanks Linda. I have always referred to you as P D, does this mean we're on a first name basis? lol I always appreciate your comments as you well know.

Street Cries October 25, 2015 at 11:26 PM Very nice thanks for sharing Dan Cwiak October 26, 2015 at 2:04 AM You're welcome...Thanks for the read and your comments.

Lin Lane October 25, 2015 at 7:02 AM Very romantic, very appetizing, very fulfilling in "every" way. Standing at the Trevi Fountain, under the moon....sigh. I think my heart is beating a bit too fast. lol Sweet write, Dan. Dan Cwiak October 25, 2015 at 11:04 AM Thanks, Lin. The last time we were in Rome was 2000, and it was the beginning of a wonderful 28 days in Europe. My wife and I did this balcony dinner, and I will always remember the walk to Trevi afterward. (Sigh)...Now you've got me thinking about it.
