I’ll take it! I don’t do many rhymers much anymore, some are older that I edit a bit. But, I wanted something in here that is a strong message for the testament to love, etc. Thanks Peter.

Hey Fia! I hear you may meet up with Del next month! What! That’s awesome!
I do have a slight burp in the meter in a couple of lines. But I didn’t see a quality edit that I liked, when I tinkered with it. So it stays. I was following the path of action and result moreso, in the progression, so the meter has to have a burp to maintain what i wanted to say. Yeah?
Thank you for the positive vibes!

Beautifully penned, Mark. Another excellent write with clever wordplay and outstanding storytelling my friend. I concur with Fia, it has a rhythm and a flow to it. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

I know you love to rhyme, so I actually had that in mind when posting it. I mean, I can, but it’s harder for me because I lean more towards a storybook approach nowadays. Good or bad, it’s what I feel comfortable doing.
I appreciate it, Damian. Rhyme on!

Talk about manifesting…this is a solid BOOM in the way of rhythm, movement, and expression. And here y’all are now…still living that hoped for day. 😊

I like a boom ! Who doesn’t. LOL. I know this write has a slight question of aggressive undertones at the beginning. I actually reworded it to calm the idea that it was a forceful thing. But, I wanted to capture the feeling of angst and impatience, so hopefully that is what is seen.
Thank you Willow. Me and Del are hanging in there, with our long distance relationship. We do get together four or five times a year, depending on work schedules, etc. One day I will be there permanently, probably less than a year. No, for sure!
It’s worth the wait. We are a great couple!

I was smiling so much reading this that my heart ached!
You are everything I hoped you’d be plus more.
I also remember this picture! You used it on DUP too!How blessed I feel at this moment, so many years later.
Remembering all the darkest of nights
and the glow of every early morning
Together bound in a discovery of words
Describing how you completely loved me:)Love you!!

I love you.
We took a huge chance, huh. Especially you, flying for the first time!
I dunno, baby, I just knew it was special. You are rare! Writing is a window, whether we mean to open it or not. And I am a great reader. From our messages, then emails, then video calls, then in person, it all went so smooth and natural. Because it was meant to be.
We deserve happiness. And true love. You are incredible.

Thank you Tim. I don’t mess with rhyming ones much anymore. But when I do, I want them to be as good as I can make them. I appreciate it when someone lets me know that the efforts are worth it.

Thank you Willow for mentioning me and other regulars in this delightful piece.
Made me feel like part of a learned,diverse and decent community.

Community is everything these days. Your comment about being a coffee companion sparked the inspiration for this one. 😊

Hi Willow! I love how this opens and how you see all of us here on the site.
It was a nice reminder for me since I’ve been locked away for the past year writing.
Plus another reminder of where my writing flourished.
It was beside you and everyone you mentioned plus a few others:)
I wish I was on more but please know you and everyone here are always in my thoughts.
You also made Mark’s morning! I got a text telling me about this write!!
Thank you for such a lovely description:)
Right back at ya chica. You are magnificent!-

I feel like the world has become increasingly dark of late and if we don’t celebrate each other and our community, we really miss an opportunity. There were a lot I couldn’t fit in here but I didn’t want to create an epic, so I stuck with the core I interact with most frequently. Do your thing, girl. The community will still be here when you have breathing room 😊

Awwwww! It’s always nice to be acknowledged for some good that we do. And yeah, me and Del may be lovebirds, but we love to write as well.
This is such a snazzy write! I do like the community aspect of the place, for those who actually take part! Like you!-

Felt like introducing my community to a stranger, writing this one. That’s how inspiration seems to hit when we trigger a write in each other, the way Peter’s comment inspired this one. We gotta lift each other up! 😊

Amazingly penned, Willow. Wow.. You’ve written an anthem for the site, and a soundtrack for this community of writers that aren’t afraid to wield their pens and share their journeys. Walking these halls is an honor, and I’m grateful for this community and our creative family that gathers around the bonfire from time to time. Excellent lyrics and an amazing musical arrangement as always. I’m assuming this one goes on the “Bonfire” album? You know I want this one.. Appreciate you, Sis.

I had a lot of fun with this one while I was sick. It just kept growing because there are so many I wanted to mention. One comment about morning coffee and we celebrate each other and the site. It’s definitely on the album. I’ve already sent it your way, bro. See you at the next bonfire! 😊

A fire is only little because of the space and oxygen allowed. And a spark can become an Inferno without warning. We need the heat as winter approaches. Your last line cracked me up. I’ll try not to give you too much trouble 😊😂
