Good morning, Dear Fia 🌼
It’s so wonderful to receive the joy of your words on this rather warming little homage to sweet romance.
Yes, the Sonnet can be a challenge, but soon enough I’ll show you how easy it is create your own.I’m so happy you think mine is “beautiful”.
Thank you ever-so warmly! ⁓ Rascal🖌

Ah, our beautiful Lady Dragonfly 🎶
How charmingly gracious of you to select one of my warmly sensual verses to enjoy ‘n leave such a gratifyingly inspiring gift of favor to a humble bard’s earnest efforts to write for and please – at least, one warmhearted poetess.💛
Thank you ever-so gratefully, Dear Libellule, for your sweet words of praise and appreciation!
Please, come again, anytime … yours truly! ⁓ Rascal🖌

I’ve never written a sonnet, but they certainly are your forte, and I wanted to congratulate you on winning the gold. I was thrilled to get the bronze, after Fia informed me that I had won a badge. So thrilled to be in good company, my friend!

Ah, M’Lovely Poetess … from the moment you and I first met (so many wonder-filled years ago), don’t you know we’ve ever since been in the very best of company?
And now, in this magically coincidental moment, we’ve been recognized together on the same (yet different) site sharing this beautiful milestone event … wedding our unbroken bond even stronger ⁓ 🥂CONGRATULATIONS, US!🥂Isn’t life and poetry such a miraculously wondrous bloom?
With happiest hugs, Kelly ⁓ Richard🖌

A tender and compassionate writing, dear Nick! The death of a loved one will always leave scars on the soul. But the memory of the time this couples shared can’t be taken away. Gratitude helps coping with the loss.

Your words are from wisdom. I’m a bit older than you but I can identify with all you’ve said. Growing up for me saw some great music that was uplifting and fun. I hear todays music and it is so negative. I can see it affecting people around me. So much violence. There were always drugs when I was growing up and friends I know are suffering today from their effects.
Life is fragile and dark today. We’ve had that in the past but there was never an internet so we weren’t as exposed to all the negativity and social media we have today. A lot of people are leaving it behind. Those zombies walking the streets should consider that to.
Great write.

Social media is a unregulated poison. I don’t mind angry or sad music. Heck it’s the best way to get out my frustrations poetry wise. But when I think of todays music I don’t get it. It is nonsensical. I don’t know if it’s mad, sad, happy. All I hear is lazy garbage. As for when I was younger I did have a good sense of right and wrong. Unfortunately many friends and family didn’t. Drugs and partying… Being careless. It catches up to you if you don’t know how to moderate it.
If I were to say what this generation feels to me, I think it seems like generation no identity. And that’s sad.
Thanks for the read friend

I completely agree with this write. Everything is so turned up right now.
I remember, back in the day, I used to be able to walk home after a movie with my friends as a kid.
As an adult now, I wouldn’t even consider it. For me back then, nighttime had teenage magic in it. It was a time
to be brave and do something daring, like sneak out to meet friends or go to a party, without getting outed by a post on Facebook. lol
I enjoyed this, thanks for posting -
Powerfully penned, Nick. I connect with this one my friend, I think anyone who has mileage in this life can relate. Excellent write. Appreciate you.

Sure does feel different these days. I know the world changes and when we get older the world gets stranger. I just never thought it would become everything we were told was bad. Like having individuality is wrong now. Having emotions is wrong, having an opinion is wrong, and being creative is seen as unvaluable. It’s just bizarre to me
Thanks for the read friend

I remember when expression was everything. In how we dressed, how we spoke, the music, the art. Seems like its seriously frowned upon now to step outside some vanilla lines and be unique. I’ll never fit normal, so I’m not bothered by the judgment. But the world does feel like its lost its lustre these days.

It does seem like there is some line. I can’t see it though. I never been good at limiting myself because of what others think. But image is everything to people these days. Stuff like tiktok is built off of attention starved people. It’s all about doing whatever it takes to get a cheap like. I honestly grew up being told people like that are pathetic. Now it’s seen as an accomplishment.
Thanks for the read friend
