First Entry?
You CHEAP BASTARD!
Why don’t you buy me
a CITY OF ROSES?!
My heart decomposes
At the endless proposes
you throw at me.
When you took me to CHICAGO
(WINDY CITY) CHILI is how I felt
in my pants,
As you tried to take a stance
at the lack of romance
that is in your pockets.
(This poem does not reflect the kind of person I am =P)
Very creative. No judgement made^^
On the Subway
Treading lightly on the shiny tiles we go
Just the two of us, making this wonderful underground trip
Sit down in the subway, mind already starts to wander
Bring up all the wonderful things on offer
At that little shop just around the corner
Perhaps we’ll have the Eggceptional Omelet this time
Finished off with a delightful pie of key lime
The size of that Andrew Jackson still haunts my mind.
The hiss of the doors brings me back to reality
Overshot our stop, such was my fantasy
Guess the food will have to wait a little while longer
To have the honour of sating my hunger
Nice!
Coffee, free refills
Eggs, toast, jam, fresh from the back
Beauty is fleeting
short and to the point
Cobalt blue skies over the City of roses
Sweet tobacco flows when aroma breezes
From the Fifi La Rue starts a melody
Then two hearts melt!
on an eternal balcony
Fires of creations
Rainbows of emotions
Joys of dreams
Rolling in the motions
Simple breakfast at Tartine’s
my Valentine,
Can this be our routine?
Now this one is not so interesting. Only one menu item [chocolate] and maybe too short to get any kind of rhythm going and also too self promoting.
Chef Garrett
I deleted the chocolate spammer^^
Chocolate and spam… not a wonderful thought
I know that to get through to you, my Valentine,
I must get a diamond for my Clementine
On this Chili Windy City day,
Your turning Della Mae rosy
My cozy joy — radiant, piercing, loving.
I understand you, frightful Andy Jackson,
Oh how you flatter
Maybe we get fatter
In the high rise Biscuit where you live,
Your opera of drippings and whippings
Boils my City of White Roses with sumptous oompah!
…(…To Tartines for my Clementine)
I await you
Like a city of roses
Impatient and cold, like the
Chicago Windy City Chill is thrown against me
Come to me,
I am not the cheap bastard
You would have me be
But I am much more, more than you make me out to be
Here you are
And I am blissful and rejoice
Tartine you complete,
As does your eggceptional omelet breakfast
I have an Eggceptional girlfriend ,
Who is really hard to please,
I cooked her an Omelet Breakfast,
But was called a Cheap Bastard’s piece.
At wit’s end, I took her to Tartine,
Which was highly recommended ,
After tasting the Fifi La Rue’s and Andrew Jackson’s,
She was instantly enchanted.
How this Simple place turned to a City of Roses,
Still gives me a Windy Chilli blast,
But it definitely turned me from a Cheap Bastard,
To the Pancake of my girlfriend’s heart…
