Sorry, Wrong Number
Those handy little Cell phones have changed
They do things now that can enthrall.
They play music, games and take pictures too
They can even make a phone call.
And if voice mail is not enough
You can type a text that‘s wordy
By using the little keyboard
That’s much too small but QWERTY.
With all of the things Cell phones can do
There’s just one thing I am berating.
It is what this little device has done,
For the wonderful word of dating.
When on a first time dinner date
And her Cell phone rings
It can be a harbinger
Of what the future brings.

Putting A Thought Out There
PUTTING A THOUGHT OUT THERE
By - Ed Iacona
Putting pen to paper makes
Inner voices very clear.
Of a desire no longer a secret
For the cosmos (plus one) to hear.
Positive thoughts are focused,
Projected strong and true.
Encouraged within my spirit,
By the joy of knowing YOU.
Some logic here for you to see,
Although there doesn't need to be.
Even Mr. Spock would likely agree
That YOU and I are synergy.
There's nothing for you to fear, my dear

Intend UH-OH!
If one wants to improve their life
There is no need to grouse or curse
All one needs to do is harness,
The power of the universe.
Be in on the public secret
And have your star on the ascension,
Just master the mysterious magic
Of “Attraction” and “Intention”.
There are books and seminars
That will help get what you want.
Follow the instructions and your life
Becomes like a buffet restaurant.
According to the advocates
There is nothing that encumbers
One from getting a parking space
To the winning lottery numbers.

Just Be Claus
When I think of Santa Claus
A traditional image comes to mind.
But when I shop in some stores
That is not what I find.
No more sleigh and Reindeer's
For him to get around.
He has a plane and helicopter
To get him off the ground.
Rockin' out with a guitar
Or swinging with his sax
Santa is jammin' on the scene
Just wailing to the max.
Santa rides a motorcycle.
Nice, but what's the deal?
Living at the North Pole
He should have a snowmobile.

Sextext
Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
Or so the old cliché goes.
But, there was something missing
As our loving relationship grows.
We both knew what that was
And what would make us smile.
If only we could find a way that
Makes our connection more tactile.
Even on the World Wide Web
Making love is still in fashion.
Words can paint vivid pictures
That conveys a lover's passion.
A cyber world of pleasure
Certainly is in place before us.
All we need is the Kama Sutra
And a good Thesaurus.

The 'l' Word
At one time she said, 'I love you'
But not now the way her life leans.
She no longer wants to say that phrase;
Wondering what it really means.
'Love' is only the English word that's
Felt the same in every nation.
She may be bi-lingual but for her,
This word loses in the translation.
Though this word has hurt us both,
Neither she nor I disdain it.
So, in trying to lay aside her fears
I'll endeavor to explain it.
For the word 'love' most writers,
Do not seem to lack words
But, I think I can examine it
By looking at it backwards.

The High Cost Of Loving
THE HIGH COST OF LOVING
Edward Iacona
A divorce is what she wanted, not I.
Her freedom, a new life and new route.
Our loving marriage cost little to enter,
But so much more to try and get out.
Never mind the cost of tears and trauma
Caused by her misbegotten mystical journey
Yet another bitter pill to swallow is
Dealing with a marital attorney.
Their ads give hope and understanding
Pledging to defend rights without a doubt.
Until one meets for a consult to find
That is not what it's all about.
We speak about my problems
As they assess every asset,

Where O Where?
WHERE O WHERE? - Ed Iacona
On a hot and steamy summer night,
While eating Italian lemon Ices,
I thought again of the dismal plight
Caused by her Mid-Life Crises.
Say what you will to defend your 'change'
Deep inside you know what's true.
Our lives you hurt and made re-arrange
Yet my prayers ask, Where are YOU?
You said you aren't living your life
For your children and me too.
You sought escape as mom and wife
Still I question, Where are YOU?
In nature all birds leave the nest
But before they take to the blue
Two parents teach them to be their best

Real Life Lesson
REAL LIFE LESSON -
Edward Iacona
To be a student in your class
was certainly considered a coup
All the kids sure wanted you
and maybe a few mommies too.
Beyond the Three R's you traveled,
your lessons laced with mirth.
You taught of wolves and wildlife
and conservation of the Earth
Your teaching rings with wisdom
of heroes and brotherhood
Of standing up for justice
as future adults they should
Your classroom philosophy
was easy to explain.

Sorry!
The phrase 'I'm Sorry' you may agree
Has turned into a social amenity
We say 'I'm Sorry' more than Brenda Lee
Which was a hit song for her back in 1960.
You may not want to acknowledge the damage you've done
The pain that you've brought to spouse, daughter or son.
But if you've done wrong you must see the light
To take a pro-active step to returning things right
There will remain feelings that you can't erase
Lost time and memories that you can't replace
Because of your actions now nothings the same
Take a look in your mirror and know that there's blame.
Maybe those words are one's you won't do.
They may not exist in your new age point of view.
Or, don't want to hear the anger, it might make you blue
It's easier to leave your loved ones hurt and askew.
