    • Of all of your lovely love poems this one made me teary eyed 🥹.
      It’s so touching and magical to me. I felt like a fairy princess reading this.
      I love you and all your magical words babe.
      I’m speechless! Kinda. Hahaha
      Smooches!

      • Saying that you’re beautiful is me simply stating the obvious. Whether it’s your smile, or the way your hair flows, or your aura of energetic personality, all of it, you are an incredible woman. I will never, ever, be bored around you.

    • Of all your love poems this one made me get 🥹 eyed.

    What She Said

    And then she said,  after pretending to be a porn   actress on a third-hand hotel mattress,  “I like your poetry, but hate your poems”    And then she said  like a bride spitting through her veil  “I take love where I find it”    No one viewed my heart’s removal van  driving baggage towards lighthouse-lights...

    • You feel the weight of sadness in this one. pretend it is not a knock at a window. Shows how alone you felt

      • The ending, I changed at the last minute, and you pictured it perfectly. Thanks for letting me know that it hits.
        And you keep kicking butt!

    • It’s just creative writing Brenda, I promise! I try to mix up the subjects and such. I don’t want to be too predictable!

    • Hello Tim!
      This is not current event material. I’m mixing up my subject matter here and there, so as not to be too typical, yaknow?
      Sometimes I read something and it inspires me to write my own thing from it. I get motivated by reading!

    • Thanks Damian. Me and Del are good! I just like to take my writing in different directions, like most of us do. I’m always learning and adapting, I hope.

    • But you are in my head when I write. When are you NOT in my head? LOL. I was going back and forth on this one, as far as how lyrical to make it. I forget what song I was listening to, that got me going on it. But eh, I’m leaving it as is for a bit. You know me!
      And you know that I love you too babydoll. Smooch!

    The Oak That Holds Secrets

    In a bar's outdoor beer garden,patrons mingle, talk politics,and eat sausagewhile downing beerbeneath an old oak's shade. Among them standsa sultry young woman,accustomed to turning headswherever she goes. Beside her mother,she surveys the crowd,catching the familiar glancesof men who notice her. Then,...

    • Haha this is a good one and I like how you end it with the old saying.

    • dearest Tim I hate women like that money grubbers trading their looks for cash prostitutes great write ❤️

    • Powerfully penned, Tim. Another excellent write that speaks some truth my friend. Some marriages are more like business arrangements these days. Cold and transactional it would seem. Just my two cents brother. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

    • Tim you paint the scene and the sultry women with masterful brush strokes of description. This took me right into the scene so that I could see everything and the storytelling here is excellent. A really great poem that puts me right there and the slice of life here is tantalizing. Our former local coroner married a young lady who had a tryst with the pool boy and the coroner left his wife. As a woman told me he should have known at his age why she married him in the first place for his money. Loved this so much.
