First, the way you displayed the piece is beautiful. Every stanza starts off with asking to be allowed to bring her closer to you.
This is just perfect

Ahhh, Lady Adira 🌾

How warmly your gracious platitudes so deeply enthrall a hopeful bard, and what a gratifying honor to be placed on your “daily fix list”.

Thank you sincerely for your lovely morning touch! ⁓ Rascal🖌

Wooo-wee! A hot and steamy piece, Richard. Have you written any romance books or stories for women’s magazines? You would fit right in, though I truly know little about their content; I must use my imagination.

I love the way you constructed this piece and then built the narrative in a way that fit within, words dropping into place cozily. You have quite a gift for the steamy side, and all of it fits neatly in the structures you built, like tiny tornados funneling your words and meaning down to rest in the final point. Excellent.

I have no idea why my response was doubled, Richard. Sorry for the wasted space.

You’re ever-so warmly welcome, Adira 🌷

There’s nothing I cherish more than making a lovely lady happy and receiving her kiss in gratitude.
Smiles ‘n hugs! ⁓ Rascal🖌

I’m in Australia and thankfully the people elected with some selflessness.
The old adage ‘ you get the government you deserve, stands the test of time.
Thanks for the comment….

I am a Christian. I didn’t vote for anyone. There is no democracy, no republic, only a dark globalist takeover.
There is no left/right paradigm. They’re all one in purpose.

Poem is simply stated and well put.
I know it’s a flawed system, but those who didn’t vote are as responsible for Trump’s second term as those who voted for him. While the Democrats have let us down time and again, it’s obvious at this point in our history voting for one party isn’t “the same” as voting for the other. We are in the deep water now, and the tide is just beginning to roll in. We’ll all eventually feel the pain — even the MAGA heads. .

I’m pretty convinced those people that voted for Trump care nothing for values. I can excuse the first time but the second? Nah, this blame is on every one of them.

Great ink

Trump is America’s Mussolini.

Great write

This is a pondering thought. I think some find it hard to let go. There are those who feel locked in place without a key to release them from the suffering. Then those who are extremely happy all the time it is like an endorphin rush that they crave to reproduce.
Very good, thought-provoking piece.

Thanks Fia

Nobody is always happy…..they may appear so.
The best we can hope for is to be content with the ‘ way it is’.

so true dearest Benny I know I will be happy again different but happy 💕

I think this is perfectly metered. The A,B,A,B ending worked well. I love poppies.

this is beautifully crafted 💕
