Palms of Pompano Palms of Pompano, keep gently swaying Midnight’s soft guitar, please don’t stop playing My love’s in Pompano, such tender sorrow I’ll be with him again, one sweet tomorrow His promises of love, touch me completely Oh, love song from his heart, keep singing sweetly I kneel at midnight hour, in silence praying So thankful for that night with palm trees swaying At dawn I feel his distant passion waking The thunderous waves of love, forever breaking The sands of timeless hours, so slowly falling A voice from Pompano is softly calling My love is far away, such tender sorrow I’ll be with him again, one sweet tomorrow Elizabeth Santos |

Elizabeth, Perhaps some zinfandel will help, Or some ice cream made of kelp. I love your verse and rhyme as well It always, always rings my bell. Beautiful. Love Sy |

I think I can safely say that this is the first poem ever written about Pompano. You have immortalized it, Liz, as you have yourself in our eyes. |

Elizabeth~ With tender move of palm trees swaying you took me along .. I heard with beauty the melody of the guitar's song. Exquiste, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
