  • 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.

    • 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

      • 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🖌

    • 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.

      • Thank you, Syr 🍷

        Not only one, but the TWO praise-filled reviews you’ve left for this romantically succulent Free Verse piece more than gratify my humble efforts to write for, share, and please my fellow ‘n lady poets … and, that you “love” anything about it farrr exceeds what could be expected, but I’m keeping every word. 😃

        Bless you the smile you’ve made of my day! ⁓ Richard🖌

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