Long Croissants Poems

The Avenue of Gastronomic Delight

Down the broad avenue called Gastronomic Delight
City life gathers when twilight awakens;

In eateries, drive-ins, greasy spoons and taverns – jumpin’ joints jumpin’
Like Snoopy with his dish doing the suppertime dance;

Lured by...

Sunlight at dawn as the day starts to break,
Open the blinds to let in the new day and,
Smile as the sunshine confirms they’re awake.
Croissants for breakfast with strong filter coffee,
Shower...

It is night yet in the West
   and the planes land between listlessly burning tarmac lamps
   stealthy fingers scurrying through diadems of neons  halogens and amber

Just like a germinating node,
so are the childishly preened pudenda load.
Ecstasy in fluffs of dew are bestowed
as croissants for neonate are getting bold.
 
Silky gazelle of a nymphet endowed with
sacra enshrouded in rotund paunch.

About mermaids, evil step mothers and 
servants whose childhoods were unfair,

The birds understand us, it’s true,
They understand us better than men,
Observe the grey heron when it is afraid,
listen to the Robin
Who asks to play with you,
Go for the lint
She doesn’t want any wrong notes,
The birds...

To give wings to my muse
Release the...

The most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
In the summer of June 2003,
I met her once in gay Paree.
We had lunch near the Eiffel Tower,
Which lasted more than half an...

Many years ago, to find his one true love
To have his life with her once more

Homemade sugar-laden donuts, hot out of the frying vat,

Sweetened graham cracker crust key lime pie with a sprig garnish,

Pack the car and drive to Houston town.  
Make delivery of food and clothes,
Bandages and diapers; meeting wants.

Long lines move slow, who...

Searching for some croissants and tea
What he found caused quite a stir 
As a rhinoceros head was mounted to the wall
He decided to devise...

Her dishes were plain, blue and...

Let the moon dream,
In our night sky,
So your sigh,
May caress its stars,

Ballerina, in the rainbow hours,
Your sighs bloom,
Like the roses,
Elegant, sweet, and rugged,
Glowing upon your veranda,

Within the summer,
and autumn shores,
Your sighs,
Gently flow with the waves,
Its...
