Living with you is living in a burning tower
Smoke billowing out the windows

Tapas Rueful is a quick read but each poem holds much depth. Each line could provoke lively discussions among people that live in that area; however, the beauty of the scenes invites all readers.

Bright and true, in daylight,
We’d see a trail half across

Their moments framed by gazes keen and bright.
Adored they blaze, then slowly pass away,
Perhaps too long they lingered in the light.

A pigeon coos
A sinuous speech above me
As I lie sprawled on my bed
Near the windowpane
Where sunlight still spells warmth…

Barbeques are manned by men
in their fresh, well-manicured lawns
while laughing children play freeze tag,
babies recline in Mom’s embrace,
and hotdogs populate every plate.

I like that epigram’s a short
or witty aphorism sort,
that’s meant to make a reader laugh.
It’s not a thing with epigraph.
