GREEN (CARD) WITH ENVY
Edward Iacona
The search for a special partner
Can be frustrating and it vexes,
Re-joining the new world of dating
In the hope of finding my nexus.
Putting oneself on the Internet
Is a mix of ego and vulnerability.
So I delighted in the E-Mails from

After a short while I realized with
Some Virgo like logic and clarity
That with some variations these
Letters have remarkable similarity.
It's sad to face life all alone.
I would love an arrow from Cupid.

There is no remorse in her writing
About giving up her modeling career.
Knowing the difference in our ages
Has not slowed her nor has stopped her
So? What relationship should I seek?
