The Things I Love

Creating a romantic poem in the streets of Rome
Reading a book tucked away in a comfy nook
Eating ice cream in the middle of my dream
Arriving on time when it didn’t cost a dime
Traveling to exotic places to meet new friendly faces
Invigorating spa while drinking margaritas through a straw
Visiting an art gallery instead of laboring for my salary
Inventing clever toys to give away to girls and boys
These are just a few of the many things I love 
You should see me when I’ve had a beer dangling from my chandelier

I like this a lot! Especially the IVY. Spa and margaritas sound good although we usually have Bud Coppers. I've never been to an art gallery but I'd agree, about anything is better than laboring for your salary! Last line tops it off. Well done my friend!...........pat

This one has the zing and happiness that I like to see in all poems, Line. It dances and skips and hops and shouts its loveliness.
