Date Night: Long Distance Love Poems

Our thirtieth date
May 27, 2011
I was in charge.

Dustin is away in Washington working.  The boys and I will meet him there in June.  For now we are a long distance away.  Luckily we have phones and skype.  Oh, I don't know if I would have agreed to being apart for a month without skype.  Anyway we set a time for a skype date tonight and I found a site that would allow us to make up love poems madlib style.  We had a great time.  There were only 2 poems that would generate but we had a good time anyway.

Poem #1
Once More, My Love
This night I shall dream of your bedazzling GREEN hair and LEOPARD-eyes.
Wrapped in echoes of your mellifluous ARM-music,
I long to sip from your KIWIful lips.
In my dreams, we fly on the exquisite winged CARROT of ORANGEness-
skimming vast continents of LEGS and MONKEYS.
The depths of all the oceans of the universe shall never separate our BANANAS.
Brilliant as THROWING TABLES, the seas greet us from afar.
In the twilight we feast on chocolate-coated CATS and tender TREEhearts of love.
Adorned in white silk, we pluck our RUMBLING love chimes from our NOSES.
I press the CAR that you wear around your neck against my LEG-muffin
so that our KIWIs melt into one.

Poem #2
My Love
Your skin glows like the APPLE blossoms JUMPING as the HIBISCUS in the purest hope of spring.
My heart follows your FLUTE voice and leaps like a ALLIGATOR at the whisper of your name.  
The evening floats in on a great PARROT wing.
I am comforted by your SWEATER that I carry into the twilight of BOOKbeams and hold next to my FINGER.
I am filled with hope that I may dry your tears of MILK.
As my FOOT falls from my WIMPLE, it reminds me of your  CHAIR.
In the quiet, I listen for the last CRASHING of the day.
My heated THUMB leaps to my TIE. 
I wait in the moonlight for your secret magnificient purple and mystical TELEPHONE of love.

The all-caps words are the ones we chose.  We had a great time and it was fun to laugh making up poems mad lib style.
