Okay you both are adorable. I agree this is perfect for the holidays. You have a beautiful way you convey your thoughts in poetry.

Well the weather here finally decided to relax! LOL. 59 degrees in the morning is awesome! and you know how I love to write on my back patio. And yeah, drinking my mocha!
We got lucky, how our creative writing led us towards one another. What an awesome reward.
Smooches!
November is so far away….. dammit.

Beautifully penned, Mark. Another excellent write with fantastic storytelling my friend. Sounds like you and Adel have a well rounded relationship, that’s a wonderful thing indeed. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

A bit towards the apocalypse in its foretelling, yeah? I also get a “War Pigs” vibe as well (Black Sabbath).
Excellent rhyme scheme as well. Great write Damian.

Wow, one more of your excellent, intense and thought provoking right things, dear Damien! Especially the last verse speaks to me a lot. World most people consider God as all seeing eye that is watching and judging us, all sing that UI energy is just experiencing itself, manifested and the form of a human being. So it is entirely up to us what to do with our lives. Personally, I think it is best to listen to our heart and to our intuition. Why won’t lead us a stray.

Ohh there is so much in this piece. What got me it I wore the ancestors of these jeans…Damn what a line.

Fine, it’s a tie. LOL.
We’re pretty good at mutual stuff…

Hello Damian.
Yeah, why not a praying mantis. I think they are cool as hell actually. Ever since I saw my first one as a kid, as it was eating a caterpillar like a piece of corn on the cob, I’ve been amazed by them. Little green demons, lol.
Thank you much, too, for the nod.

Dude, I have a lot of scars! And several tatts, ahem. -Been quite the life. Nowadays all is mostly mellow and I am thankful for it!
And you can jack my title. When I thought of it a couple of weeks ago, I told Del that I gotta use it somewhere! This write is the result.
Thank you much, Peter.

Amazing writing, dear Styxian. So authentic and pure! Scars are a sign that life has been lived. And I think that prayers never remain unanswered. But often we realize not before many times has passed, in which way the answer has manifested in our lives.

The funny thing is, (well, not funny exactly!), is I have had so many misfortunes over the years. I used to look at it as bad luck. Yet then, perhaps the fact that I have got this far in pretty decent shape overall, it’s always been secretly good luck to make it through.
And hey, it’s good to see you around again! Good writers like you should be more frequent!

Ten out of ten

This is so good. I mean,,,I love the flow of it

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.

Damian

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 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!!

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.

A fire of feeling. Great write.
Regards
James

Thank you James. I do enjoy creative writing, and hopefully it shows in my results. As the same for you, quality in your words as well.
