      2006

      I wish my childhood could still exist.I wish I could fight and resist.The problems and woes that come with this. And I wish it was 2006.When everything was easy to fix.Like the day we went to the carnival fair. Our bodies...

      • Chรจre C.,
        What a beautiful write!
        Love it that you wrote it.
        Love it even more that youโ€™ve posted it.
        I tried to single out which sentence drew me in.
        But I canโ€™t.
        Iโ€™ll read it again tomorrow.
        Until thenโ€ฆ.

        Kind regards, Gus

      • “Sanctuary in a smile”. After the “lust’ settles and there is just the warmth holding each other, it is the “smile” that says everything and how you can stay in that moment forever. It’s that smile that tells you you are home; where the momentary “lust” becomes more.

        I enjoyed reading your poem Crimsin.

      • well this is quite grand. It’s like you were fighting the urge of feeling overwhelmed. So you wrote out an incantation to ward off the bad spirits? You slayed it!
        Really interesting write, Crims. Very much so.

        • good evening dearest Styxian thank you graciously these are just feelings and fears I try to always write in a current mindset I’m happy it worked for you have a beautiful Evening ❤️

      • Oh! This is good, Brenda. Right up my alley.

        • hello dearest Adagio thank you graciously it’s so funny to me it happens to us a lot and I swear I didn’t even peak at your poem till after ❤️have a great day…

      • sometimes, even the sun cannot help when a “cynical fact sarcastic lament” is involved, but becomes magnified when the day is grey. and sometimes there are only vague answers to our ceaseless whys, and yet we cannot help but ask for them. Ironic isn’t it? we are born, we live, we die, and in between these events, there is only the moment and what we do with each one of them. Did we only exist? Or did we make a difference?

        Thanks for your poem, Crimsin. I enjoyed reading it and where it led me.

      • Powerfully penned, Brenda. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

      • hello dearest Styxian this is very beautiful, sensual and romantic…I have a garden dream to I always picture wisdom is there walking through the garden having philospohical conversations with Eve it is a curious thing… this is beautifully written and your metaphors are just right to evoke deep feeling ❤️

      • Hey Crims! I’ve edited this one so many times, trying to get the rhymes and meter tight. I’m not much into this type anymore, but it’s good practice for my ol’ brain. LOL
        Thanks for letting me know that the effort paid off!

      • I love this. The rhyming is sooo good!
        Dare I say perfect, yes I think I will.
        I think about your back yard and all the hibiscus 🌺 back there.
        This isnโ€™t too far fetched ๐Ÿ™‚

        Love it and you!

        • Well my love, no flower compares to you!
          Don’t forget the monster bougainvillea! (yes, i had to look up that spelling, LOL). It’s taking over the yard! Wanna come play gardener with me?

      • Beautifully penned, Mark. A very passionate write indeed my friend. Excellent work as always. Appreciate you.

        • Hello Sir Damian!
          I don’t write many rhyme/meter poems much. It’s hard for me to get deep into my feels if I do. Freestyle is my obvious choice, because I can detail them better. But any rate, I do attempt to test some creative builds like this from time to time. And no, no AI assist either. (Seems many do lean on AI nowadays).
          Anyway, thanks dude. I enjoy your dropping by’s !

      • Look at you going all rhymey! This is so lovely, well done.
        ❤️k

        • Hey you!
          This was a major task to write! And several edits to get it to where I’m satisfied with it. I’m proud of it for the effort verses the result it took. So when I get any acknowledgement for it, I can breathe a sigh of relief! Thank you!

      • This has such a ye olde sonnet vibe to it. It flows and builds great imagery. Trying to write in a rhyming fashion fractures my brain. Well done!

      • Trust me, it wrecked my brain big time! I hacked at it quite alot. I actually had some more “ye olde sonnet” type words in it, but took them out because I didn’t want it to seem pretentious. If that makes sense. I also doubt that I can ever write one quite as solid as this one, as far as the build of it. again. Maybe if I break out the old pencil and paper, so I can erase a hundred times. LOL. (I still write on paper sometimes, because it holds a unique touch to me.
        Good to see you Willow. Hope you are well and enjoying life!

      • I’m not used to seeing rhymes from you so this was a pleasant surprise. Your poems are always a pleasure to read. Great job here, this to me is a dedication poem and one well written.

      • Hello Tim. I started out as a rhyming kid. LOL. But as I got older and read more contemporary material, it changed my preferences. It was more in tune with my “feelings”.
        But, I have a few attempts here and there, to stay mentally sharp I suppose. So I appreciate the nod for my result. these ain’t easy for me. If for anyone.
