Belvedere
Strolling through the belvedere at sunset, just with you,
I pretended that I’d brought you here for the uncanny view.
Yet I really formed a rapt audience of one.
You are the only view I seek when the day is done.
I’m just your part time lover, and yet I must confess
that when I see your line of jaw, your hair braid or your dress,
it catapults my heart into regions that are new.
I’d like to make a wallpaper of visions just of you
so that all the whole day long, whatever I might do,
I could live forever surrounded by your view.
Prompt words today are part time, Belvedere, catapult, wallpaper, audience and uncanny.
A belvedere or belvidere is an architectural structure sited to take advantage of a fine or scenic view. The term has been used both for rooms in the upper part of a building or structures on the roof, or a separate pavilion in a garden or park. And, it is also a brand of Vodka!!!

Thanks, Sadje. Did you know that word? First time for me, although we did have a tiny town nearby that was named Belvidere.

A brand of vodka? Live and learn. My cousin, who sadly lost her husband a year ago, confided in me that no matter where they dined with a spectacular view, he always sat across the table from her and always claimed that he had the best view – his love.
