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

    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.

    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.
