fragrant gardenias,
                     steaming cafe au lait
                     jazz, a seagull flies.

get divorced every other day
In between they elope
with just toothpaste and soap
afraid what their parents might say

A good relic

San Francisco Earthquake

I want to sleep
With the windows open
On a night that believes 
In winter winds and falling snow
I want to taste your dreams
On a California bed
King sized on the Richter scale

Premium Member The Charge Up San Juan Hill

Teddy Roosevelt carried a big stick
Walking softly 'till he had to move quick
  He charged up San Juan Hill
  Thinking, 'Who'll foot the bill?' 
He made it into a Hollywood flick

Day joys fleeter.

Liberty At the San Diego Zoo

Sailors go to the San Diego zoo,

looking for pretty girls who go there too.

Sugared monkeys a good time,

always tossing plenty grime,

by reaching behind and throwing at you!

The Way San Francisco Lived

Who has the bread
and the word, has everything...
But what is left to be complete...?
Some essential things:
share,
 offer,
donate a little of oneself...
So everyone will have everything
in fair portions... !

Fruit Cocktail: From the San Diego Suite By Ronald S Porter

Apricot nectar, I licked from her lips,
suckled the dew like honey
from melon ripe breast
and in time did savor
the heady heavenly flavor
of passion's fruit in all the rest
and night birds
beyond the window

...sang a new song.

Premium Member Too Fishy Here

This place smells nasty to me
Any place I’d rather be
Fisherman Wharf, yes, I know.
Fresh everything caught below.

Pungency of fish galore
Smell I truly do abhor
Shrimp tastes too fishy for me.
To Midwest I’d rather be.
