Poppies, Sails ’n Dreams
O’er Gulf of Maine’s blue, a gull soars high ’n free …
poppy blessed Isles of Shoals scattered far below.
As a sail-rigged skiff slips silently alee,
days-of-yore dreams through my voyager’s soul flow.Richard Jenkins

A good Wednesday morning to ya, Fia 🌼
It is sooo nice to begin the day with such inspiring words from a knowing poetess’ radiantly heart-gifted pen.
To receive commentary so warmly laid (as Yours) upon one of my earnest poetic efforts means more than mere thanks … you make me wish I had an endless supply of stardust to sprinkle over every grim moment of all your days and nights.And, you seem to possess a gift of grasping the true essence of my poetry; rare few do … and, it makes me feel special.
Then, I am truly humbled you think this piece is “perfect” … thank you, Fia ⁓ Rascal🖌

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🖌

Brilliantly penned, Fia. Into the book it belongs! This was incredible storytelling, and I even welled up with tears, I knew that the Butterfly and professor was a metaphor for something really going on. Powerful ending, the foreshadowing was precisely executed. Thank you for sharing. Appreciate you.

Thanks, Damian. I was trying to think how a young person would convey what is going on in their own way. Not all of them come straight out and say anything.

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🖌

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
