A POEM
By Ishrat Rauf Ansari
In the 1st 2023
Blessings Reveries,
To friends 0’Vivaldi!!
In gratitude,humble vivaldi family,
connects bonds firm- it used to be,
December cold in flakes- i or 2,
winters gloom over sunny adieu,
Father Demo Sq.sets on a mood glum
cheery notes later can just begun:
Time Sq chant is what we know,
“moments behold on our life bestow,
Blessings Shower us more and more,
My Wife, plus 2 daughters equals 4,
My vivaldi friends Is all I need,
Fond Memories remains indeed!
Words about kindness ‘nreverie,
My Heart remains it used to be.

Very beautiful poem, Ishrat! Thank you so much for sharing. I have so many great memories of Vivaldi – the place that had so much character, the music and musicians, the customers, the food… and most especially, all the interesting and deep conversations with you. Thanks so much for making Caffe Vivaldi not only a cultural institution, but almost like a second home. My very best,
