Vino

Vino
Vinny
There was no doubt I was seeing double
Vinny poured another glass
I actually think it was whiskey
There we sat, at the back of the Angelos Steak and Kill
The joke wasn’t lost on many
The joint was dark and filled with smoke
Each booth offering up its own unique...

What’s fair is fair

I walked into Macys Department Store the other day
thinking I’d buy a few items for the summer
I entered on the first floor and was met by
counter after counter of cosmetics and perfume
with finely made up women in fancy smocks 
just waiting to...

            SPIRITS OF EASTERS PAST
 
On Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate
Christ rising from the dead.
I loved Easter as a child, it was as special
as Christmas and went to my head.

What if there was a passage way down to the ocean

Tucked away within the wall an eroded cave

Cool breeze always in motion as azure, Turquoise Ocean  swirls

Breathing in deep reflecting a show of rainbow mist as waves break the cliff face

bake the goodies
bake the snacks
snack tray covered

light up tree
tree the ornaments
tree the Angel
angel hair the mantle
angel blare the stereo

The average person laughs 13 times a day
I laugh a lot more often than that
In fact I probably hold the world record
Maybe three or four times that in fact

A katydid hears through holes in its hind legs
You really must be trying to jazz me
What kind...

I made a small declutter vow
To get myself unstuck
That every day I’ll toss one thing 
And so far, I’m in luck.

My travel guides from years ago
To places I have been
Were easy things for me to trash,
A good place to begin.

Some macramé for hanging plants,
A box...

I wish I could sit ‘round the corner,
And take in all of the clamor;
I’d hear laughter and conversations,
I would hear what really matters!

I would hear dear familiar voices,
Distinctive laughs known know right away.
Dinnerware clanging with silverware,
With the smells of Thanksgiving Day!!!

I would thank my God...

To all wo crave turkey...good appetite and good health!
Utilize your skills in creating charm in a bright dining room. 
Round up the best ideas for success, ask if you need help.
Kidding yourself is absurd, get all the help from friends.
Enamor yourself with dinnerware and silverware...

The news was put out by flyers
I see they've already removed the tires
I wonder if any of these people really have any money
But they say you catch more flies with honey
Everybody agrees not to buy anything right away so the prices will drop

From  her thick, littered journal
Notes of passion  burn with love
Against clangs of  dinnerware---
Till hours roam  into near morn
Her spouse digging  through  work’s pile.
Upstairs, she jots  tender  lines

Dreaming  of intimate nights .

filled with finest dinnerware,
Some contain jokers.
