invitation to
a poets’ party
yes, i’ll come!
where? what
better place than
Boboli’s garden;
grounds of the
Pitti Palace, in
fair Florence,
heart of the
renaissance.
hanging out
at “the Pub”,
d’Verse Poets,
is part of my
personal poetic
renaissance;
fair garden of
wordsmiths,
each statuesque,
monumental in
creative voice.
here i can
find “The (an)
Abundance” of
poetic ideas,
original online
fruits of writers
dedicated to
sculpting marble
thoughts into words
to share veritable
bounty of beauty.
raise your hand
clink the glass
give a toast (of
bronze wheat,
golden corn or
ripened vine)
to salute the
“pub tenders”,
party hosts who
serve all a happy
3rd anniversary!

Although
it may seem
customary for
a girl to prefer
a dozen roses,
he decided to
defy tradition
by offering her
a lovely chain
of fresh daisies.
His unique gift
gently struck
a heart’s chord
which brought
forward a burst
of affection as
she stepped
close enough
to exchange a
petaled kiss.

tootle down backroads
in their restored shine;
red, white, and chrome

out for slow sunset drive
on mid-summer’s evening
thru antiqued countryside.

approaching thunder
rural towns and farms flooded
pouring rain again
power of lightning
splits mature tree to toothpicks
exploding the air
winds bending treetops
scanning skies for dark funnels
praying there’s no hail
after summer storm passes
a double rainbow appears
