Red Plate Special

artwork by Joseph Lorusso

Sometimes, in a cafe,
 he gets hungry for 
the red plate special.
Don't make him blue. 

Kiss him silly, till he
can't even smell
the food
for want of you.

∞§∞

If the blue plate special is the usual fare, 
this feast of passion must be the red plate version!

;)

Happy Valentine's Day.

I'm not sure I know what a red plate special is but whatever it is I like the way you've woven it into this poem.

Whimsically tender, or tenderly whimsical. :-)

Yes, That's right! Mesmerize him with her charms and things will fall into place. It's basic but it's also elusive though! Nicely Sue!

For me, it is one of the few things more important than food!

:D I feel like a broken record for praising your poetry, but it is all honest and heart felt. You have such a gift, and I am so in love with the way you write.

Had to Google red plate special to understand - now I do.

Love the idea he can't even smell the food for want of you (or me!).
