tap on an icon -
this novelty in turning
no dog-eared pages
in my solitude
the wide television screen
wins from me a smile
the choice of romance
where no stars wear the mask -
the new old movies

Nothing like a rom-com to bring the smiles.
I too like the oldie shows and movies playing now. The make me smile also.
Note: This was not me in my poem. It was a fictitious older daughter come back home to live.

Thanks for dropping by Jim. Enjoyed your poem today, thanks for the note

I try not to classify some of my faves as "old' movies, since so many of them were made when/after I was born. Reading your work, here, makes me smile, though.
Thanks for dropping by Ron.

Over the years, our taste in movies has changed and we find that we most enjoy the "old" movies which emphasize character and story and have few distractions. Just a really good story.
It is always good to immerse yourself in movies to shut out the rest of the world and your be yourself!

(Sorry about the "man" thing. Hi-yo Silver!)
I thought something similar when I watched a rom-com today -- no masks!
