OMG This site is going to give me an aneurysm someday...I just spent fifteen minutes pouring my heart into this review cuz I was so touched by this poem, and the site glitches out and erases it...damn it...this is not the kind of thing I need happening to me today...anyways...
I will now try to retain the important bits the best I can: Any man who does not feel the need to extend a hand upon reading this piece is a fool...it reads like an invitation to an emotional utopia where romance is a sacred thing and not a game in which many people do not play fairly...I smiled at the feeling of innocence that pervades this piece and borders on playful, but it was a mournful smile as well, knowing that such innocence is often destroyed by bad apples before it has the chance to be enjoyed...wonderful work Mrs.R, you did a job on my heartstrings with this one :)

Ol' Blue eyes knew his stuff. Back when men were men and ladies dressed up. I am taken back in time with this one. Fedoras and white shirts and skinny ties, skirts, kitten heels, perfect coiffures and red matte lipstick. He held her hand and he led her. Wonderful stuff, m'dear. Angi~
Take me on a Riverwalk
when the sun dips for the night
we'll talk until the wee hours
of a new dawn's morn
under stars that glitter
with flushes of flashing harmony
perhaps a whisper or two
whilst we dine on oysters & fine wine
Fill my head with notions of bliss,
& sweet forget~me~nots
if you ask me to dance
perhaps, I'll take a chance
sweetly coo a melody for me
My NYC mother loved Sinatra so I grew up hearing him along with my dad playing Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn. Sinatra had more cool in his pinkie than most musical artist's have in their whole careers now a days. He was war generation cool so he was a different breed than what passes for cool now. His song "That's Life" is one of my favorite songs of all time. When Sinead O' Conner tore a picture of the pope in half on Saturday Night Live Sinatra threatened to punch her in the face to which Sinead quipped "Just being threatened by old blue eyes is an honor." She wasn't off the mark on that.

If you want to know me, read my poetry, it's all in there. I am a mother of three sons (my finest moments) a sister, a survivor and a little bit crazy. I lost my beloved sister to suicide, so you'll.. more..
