Not entirely.

The elliptic culprit was either Dan Barf(fly) or Andrew Roller.

A new poem from Dan Barfield:

******************

https://mdbarfield.blogspot.com/2023/10/sidewalk-cafe.html

Sidewalk Cafe

Sidewalk cafe,

Sailboats floating

like-

White swans floating-

Coconut palms

Crystal water

Soft Spanish

Old fort.

Gray walls.

Rusty cannons.

Dark eyed girls

Golden skin.

Shy smiles

Laughing children.

Old men sit

Cigar smoke

and

Dominoes.

-Dan Barfield

********************

Enjoy...!
