Long Tiramisu Poems

"Dream 1: 4 Weeks in Positano"



Kisses long linger warm lips tasted intense
so sweet like cured Valencia Oranges
lips liquored triple sec not dry drunk on love
softly grazed, then held long

slow, deep, warm and wet

The story is...

brownian

       haiku number one

round and round
my thoughts and the fan...
full of air

plane up in air
can hear it-
touch the sky, why can't I?

The road drones as I run away,
one eye ahead, one on the rearview.
I squint and strain, blue-white beams on my tail.
Twin beams, staring, keeping distant pace.
	You say, "It's been five years and we barely know...

to words
to poetry 

to hearts
touching 
to smiles
reaching eyes

I am grateful,
I am blessed,
for the friendships formed

of chapbooks and poetry books
to reading books, watching movies

of eating to cooking
…of chocolate,...

Have you had a dinner overlooking Rome?
A quiet, garden setting, where you two are alone?

Darkened bushes, candlelit table, with tiny lights all aglow,
romanticize the setting, as we all know.
 
Start with a glass of a...

My daughter's getting married
To a super guy called Tom,
It's really fast approaching,
It won't be very long.

The wedding dress is sorted,
The venue and the flowers,
The music and the fireworks,

Chilled Pinot Grigio and Chianti
on each side of the long table,
twenty seats for twenty guests;
Antipasto with zesty dressing...
colorful vegetables with chunks
of sharp provolone and hard salami...
to be served with crunchy bread,
the kind that grandmother used...

Our final night in Montreal,
To take a break from fries,
We saw a nice Italian place
We thought we’d patronize.

We ordered salad, beer and wine
And, perfect for our sharing,
An interesting pizza
Which they took their time preparing.

When it...

We stood outside and read the sign:
Two pizzas plus for twenty-nine.
The plus was for a bottle, red,
To sip with food which we’d be fed.

Delicious meal and what a deal!
Can such a bargain be so real?
