Poem 1
On the balcony,
fork and knife in hand,
ready to command
this lush field.
***
White pillars,
every five increments,
set the entrance
for the view
of the lush green hue
in this field.
***
You're in a white dress,
I'm in a blazer --
black as a Robin's nest --
as the watermelon vines
curl around the wooden trellices
in time...
***
... to the beat
of the shape
of this Tuscany escape.
Like the back of a sauce bottle!
