I really miss dino
I miss his nutball wit
I would categorize
as sophisticated silly goose

I miss his elegance, his grace, his kindness
I miss the eponymous kiwi
running amok, a reappearing raptor star
like the coyote with all his acme gadgetry

I thought I'd never have the guts
to dare write a poem about dino,
a monumental equation not fit for myself
but there are a few things I do know

he was a man of the people, able to identify
just as fluently with the homeless beggar
as the average joe or especially, the stray cat
so I said to myself

there will never ever be just one poem
that encapsulates mr. poet
this is just step one....
this is just my very first try

he was an amazing cyber vaudevillian poet...i will always treasure this message he sent me...

sweet memory for sure....yeah i could def see tommy diventi and dino drinking shots

memorable night...u shoulda seen Tommy at paper moon with me and jamie wilson for late night food....he was a riot....

And his haggis poems too! . . . I'm bummed that I never made it to the east coast to meet him, but I saw the photos from that 2008 reading . . . cool stuff. Wish I could have been there . . .

rest in peace to your friend. it is quite clear that he meant a lot to you all.

<3

I miss him, too. I'm glad you wrote this poem and I'm glad it's the first of more to come...

thanx mnaz, whoaisme and doreen.....yes many poems to come
