Baby, It’s Cold Outside!
by Marc Gunn, December 17, 2005 I was listening to a recording “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” on repeat, drinking a glass of wine and just groovin’ to the music. Once again, I was off in my own little world. And it’s cold outside. How I would love some snow… I’m sitting here, a glass of […]

A Tiny Cafe of My Heart
by Marc Gunn, August 1, 2005 How I miss my home in Italy. This poem was inspired by a day dream about past adventures. Light groggily peeks into the bedroom window. A radio moans a distant hum. Early morning ammonite fantasies awaken. They arouse the mind As temporal reflections of discarded frustrations Pale next to […]
