Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Transient Love

Transient Love

I sat on a cliff
overlooking the sea
high above the surf
tasting the salty edge

Tides are a mix
of flavors, both sweet
and sour, columns one
and two….


Truck Stop

I know hot and spicy, and 
here you bring me cold and
bland

The chef just quit
she tearfully informed me
the saddest 
loveliest blue eyes

Fitted with an apron
love was back on the
menu….
