The Snow Makes Me Miss You
Missed Connections in Boise

The snow makes me miss you.
I have visions of you playing in it
and I can hear your laughter.
Hope you happy and think of you often.
Do you think of me?
I hope so.
I hope your scarf keeps you warm still. 😉

Her Two Cents from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle-Finder:
Boise, Idaho is our featured location today and this message reminded me that some places actually had snow and cold weather this winter! While I love the unseasonably warm, sunny temperatures that have descended upon New York early this year, it is a bit strange and uncharacteristic. Which leads me to wonder if some sort of freak blizzard will hit in April… Coat, scarf, boots, and hat are still on stand-by just in case Mother Nature pulls an about-face.

We can’t sleep at night, so we try things
and usually that’s when
we gasp for air

Insomnia is something I’ve rarely suffered from but from those few instances, I clearly recall the running-in-circles thoughts leaving me unable to sleep and incapable of doing anything else. This Brooklyn post reminds me of that exhausted, haunted sensation and the desperation of wanting to shut off completely. Wherever you are, here’s hoping that your weekend is a restful one.

io non ho paura by Nicoletta Ciunci

The Big Dipper
Missed Connections in Portland

over your body i linger

contours like
mountain ranges
stitched on mind

tatoos like rivers
etching history
in flesh

i know this landscape
your geography

i see
beneath clothes
clearly my
body feels yours
like a song

Lovelorn Poets her two cents icon“I’m not scared” is the title of this photograph by Nicoletta Ciunci and it’s a wonderful complement to the message from our Portland poet. Beautiful, mysterious, sensual, and perhaps even a bit dangerous – just like the mountains, just like our bodies. Every landscape tells a story, we simply have to look and listen to discover it.

While You Were Facebooking
Missed Connections in Athens

The love of your life just passed you a glance.
Yet you making love with your thumbs wouldn’t take the chance.
Not even noticing that I had just walked by..
Makes me think maybe it’s not worth a try.
Maybe I could friend her and be her friend number 952
She’d surely fall for me..
That’s what I’ll do.
If only I could…..
Search for her.
And Find Her Name..
Privacy settings to blame..
Facebook’s so f’ing lame!

One Year Ago: Missed Connection in San Francisco, CA: Goodwill, Your Lamp Is Now My Lamp

Her Two Cents from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle-Finder:

Lovelorn Poets her two cents iconTechnology. It’s makes our lives easier and more difficult all at the same time. While Facebook can be wonderful for reconnecting with friends and family and communicating with folks about the events in our lives, it does train our focus “to the screen” of our device instead of on the world around us. But is it really any different from sitting at a cafe or a bar with a book or a newspaper? Just because a person is reading or Facebooking or knitting or doing whatever doesn’t mean you can’t talk to them.  You’ll find out in short order if they want to chat back, right?


Missed Connections in San Francisco, CA: Things I Should Have Said To You At The Bar Last Night, Part 2

Things I Should Have Said To You At The Bar Last Night
Missed Connections in City of San Francisco

We stared at each other for quite some time last night across that crowded bar. You, wearing, well, clothes. I caught your eye and you smiled at me. I smiled back. You tossed your hair.  I was shy and looked away. I should have come up to you and said hello. Thrown out a cheesy pickup line. Not that I thought they’d work on you, but that you might laugh at my cheesiness. But I didn’t. I’m shy. So here’s a list of cheesy pickup lines:

  1. I know its not Christmas, but Santa’s lap is always ready.
  2. Was that an earthquake or did you just rock my world?
  3. Roses are red, violets are blue, how would you like it if I came home with you?

Which one is your favorite? (note from the ed. #1 creepy, #2 could work if you were in CA and looked like someone on a popular TV show, #3 no thank you.)

Lovelorn Poets her two cents iconWelcome to our new bi-weekly feature: Fromager’s Finest – also known as Things I Should Have Said To You At The Bar Last Night.  This creative and thoughtful individual compiled a very comprehensive list of “cheesy pick up lines” and kindly shared them through the San Francisco missed connections forum. So, pour a glass of your favorite adult beverage, enjoy some fromage, have a few laughs, and maybe…just maybe…get inspired to try one out for real!
