But dining on lobster requires deft finesse without humiliating you!

If I Were A Stone

If I were a stone…without a doubt I would be a lovely marbled granite…
the center of attention in a newly updated kitchen.

All eyes would be upon me…the first choice of decorators...

Watching leaves cartwheel down
we meet at the bench
tucked under the trees, in the park

Unable to speak
I am feeling a squeeze in my breast
My emotions are clenched

It might as  well be another late afternoon
when new moon rises, bathed in honeydew

The fans are wild and crazy -
It’s the name of the game…
The game that’s most watched on the planet!

awakens taste with beguiling smiles
a platter of kindness
wrapped in delicate crepes
lips that promise
