Pate Chinois Did It (Novelinee) Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

It's funny how love blooms with a new day -

births forth romance in one moment's surprise,

without much warning, traps the heart away

and stars will cover vision of the eyes.

So it was when she met that Quebecois

her little French relayed the message sent,

their mutual love for pate chinois

sparked an attraction that was eloquent,

and looks said more than what their words had meant.
