Tulips on Valentine's Day
A True Story, Blue Truck Included


What really happened
Merisi was sipping
real Italian coffee -
right here in Vienna



and sipping and looking
at the tulips
and the street beyond


when all of a sudden,
a blue truck drove by.
- The end -

  1. Happy Belated Valentine's! Tulips are the flower of our house this year too -beautiful pinks, reds, and white. Hope your freeze has passed by or that you've sent it to us ;)

  12. Less than 4 weeks now until I am visiting YOUR city, a city you have promoted so well!
    Always a pleasure to see these coffee places (and the city) via your eyes and your camera.
    THANKS for sharing!
