Vacation Haikus Stored on iPod

Sante delivers
Seafood cornucopia 
Una spontini

Raymond delivers
Thanksgiving dinner early
Jimmy mans fire

Crisp white linen shirt
Sweeping ashes, makes fire
No worse for the wear

Chestnut truffle dish
Ravioli goes down fast
Nutty, flavorful 

Truffle heroin
Can you smoke this stuff he asks
Fire man in daze

Italian men cook
Truffle ravioli with
Chesnut marscapone

Marche Brodetta
Coricopia of fish
A soupy mixture


Sante
Fresca cucina
E tanto molto bona
Che Bella cena

Sante
La cuisine est fraiche
Alors on mange tres bien
C'est un Bon diner

Sante
The kitchen is fresh
So we are eating real well
It's a good dinner

Anticipation
Preemptive wine opening
Underconsumption 

Parsley chia pet
Castana killing flavor
Sante, not a chef

Grandpa zips around
Fiat fungus foraging
Spello porcini 


Jimmy, Heather, Jimmy 
Stabbed by umbrella
Plaid precipitation shield
Cheap four Euro crap

Speckled grey heads bow
Francis tamed Gubbio wolf
Friendly Asissi

Ian
Lost in Perugia
Cold and dark can't find Sante
Parking running out

Sapa festival 
Pomodoro polenta
Duck, sausage, fungi

Varying verdiccio
Same grape, not process

Cuartina's cooking
Planned four, stretches to seven
Fish, pasta for all

Sunday cyclists
Moving round Marche mountains
Steady climb, shoot down

Portonovo pause
To naw on nonna's gnocchi 
Mad dash to Trieste

Runner in Venice 
Dodging tourists past canals
Slippery when wet

No water at lunch
Bruna, she only drinks wine
Mocked by Italians

Cola and red wine
Nutella palachinki
Big civapcece

Zagreb museum
Of broken relationships
Hansel and Gretel

Donuts and coffee
Drop off at bus terminal
Off to Sibenik

Cat cousin collects
Seventeen furry felines
It's a hairy job

Fishing off Zlarin 
Prickly poison poisson
Throw that guy back in

Two guys squid jigging
Moonlight midnight adventure
Tasty lunch and bait

Dalmatian grandma
Suns outside door of tall white house
Toe to head in black

Counting fish kilos
Lots to catch if you have boat
Zlarin fishermen

Vacation snacking
Cheese that cries with teardrop wine
Montecorotto

Stinky sheep scamper
Roaming rocky Zlarin routes
They have no owners

Tourist office chief
There will come a day that he 
has more eyes than teeth

Olive grove bunker
Fried fish on smoldering coals
Drizzled with the oil

Rain on Zlarin is
still better than the sun in
Zagreb Croatia

Cone headed small dog
Attacks golden retriever 
Muzzled on ferry

Propellor slices
Neighboring wooden boat's rope
Luka to rescue 

Ex sniper let loose
kills big eared owl with one shot
Zlariners disturbed...

Rain-soaked lettuce heads
Wrinkled, scarved woman shielded 
Most vegetables wet

Covert country man
Sells fresh cheese at green market
The guy on the steps

Yugoslav era
Overnight ferry sways to 
Ancona from Split

Bulbous bald man rides
blue bike with red basket along
Senegallia beach

Marscapone, cookies
Bologna's version meets mark
Best tiramisu

Pay first, then show slip
The coffee bar protocol
Italian caffeine 

Order, sit, enjoy
Repeat, accumulate slips
Croatian caffeine 

Canadian folk
Meet on boat, sip big coffees
Remembering home

Simultaneous 
Pumpkin purchases pushed
To parking lot cars

Madonnini de
Pescadora tasting lunch
Marchejan sampling

Paris flight delay
Diana to the rescue
Soothed by wine and chips
