Anticipation

I have decided - much to your pleasure? - to dip my mental quill into the succinct and evocative world of haiku poetry as I partake in my whirlwind, back roads tour of Italia.  For each blog entry, I will begin with a little juicy, rhythmical piece of the Tuscan pie before launching into my usual gypsy sentiments.  Why?  Because it's my honey-loon, and I'll poetize if I want to.  So as I make my packing/to-do list and check it twice with my heart beating in utter anticipation of being once again with the one I love, I offer you my first Camino Gypsy Haiku...

Bag locked and loaded,

Hair tweezed, skin polished, smile white;

Ready for takeoff!
