Best Aisles Poems

My Lady of the Aisles walks so headily between the texts.
Her switch is but a libracation,
Within the words laid down and spread before Us.Such passion there was found in reams. A first edition,  pressing, hardcover of what we dare not say.She came at once...

Glistening counters of cooing concoctions packing covers of clever collisions. 

Rising towers of tasty temptation tricking triumphs too shortly forgotten.

Outstanding plumage of promised perfection packed perfectly into plump plastic pods.

Colorful rivers of ripening ribbons and rounds rolled out into rails.

Elevated sparkles of sweet saturation soothing...

Dedicated to Daddy, Mom, Bro and Pooh

We tried no sad good-bye ...
