Good morning, Dear Fia 🌼

It’s so wonderful to receive the joy of your words on this rather warming little homage to sweet romance.
Yes, the Sonnet can be a challenge, but soon enough I’ll show you how easy it is create your own.

I’m so happy you think mine is “beautiful”.
Thank you ever-so warmly! ⁓ Rascal🖌

Ah, our beautiful Lady Dragonfly 🎶

How charmingly gracious of you to select one of my warmly sensual verses to enjoy ‘n leave such a gratifyingly inspiring gift of favor to a humble bard’s earnest efforts to write for and please – at least, one warmhearted poetess.💛

Thank you ever-so gratefully, Dear Libellule, for your sweet words of praise and appreciation!
Please, come again, anytime … yours truly! ⁓ Rascal🖌

Thank you, Dear Damian 🤜💥🤛

For reading and your generously gracious, appreciated comments, and inspiring accolades.

It’s a distinct pleasure to write for you, Syr.
Happy Autumn! ⁓ Richard 🍂

✨Thank you, Dear Kelly, ever-so warmly!✨

Ah, M’Lovely Poetess … from the moment you and I first met (so many wonder-filled years ago), don’t you know we’ve ever since been in the very best of company?
And now, in this magically coincidental moment, we’ve been recognized together on the same (yet different) site sharing this beautiful milestone event … wedding our unbroken bond even stronger ⁓ 🥂CONGRATULATIONS, US!🥂

Isn’t life and poetry such a miraculously wondrous bloom?
With happiest hugs, Kelly ⁓ Richard🖌

It’s ironic when you think about it Fia. Many want change, want to live in a different world, where people coming together to solve problems is the morality, but are unwilling to see the world and it’s me, me, me morality at its source, and so blame people, rather than a system that has created the way people are and act. It’s a daunting task, but it is possible to do.

Thank you Fia for your comment and for visiting. Both are muchly appreciated.

Those moments are precious, aren’t they! We are social creatures and need and welcome those connections. I want to and work toward a world where these connections thrive and flourish. Think how beautiful this world would/could be and how cherished such connections would feel and delight!!

Thank you RomaJ, the matter in motion that is me, welcomes your visit and your comment.

Another ironic thought, when looked at from the vastness of the universe, we are small indeed. But when looked at from our home, Earth, what we do makes all the difference. It is up to us to decide whether what we do will make the world as a whole better or worse. Us small humans can disturb the Universe.

I appreciate your comment Neville and want to thank you for it and of course for stopping by.

Light, I think we are magic. Our lives matter in ways we often underestimate. And that April shroud dissipates as we reach for the morning sun. Thank you for the wonderful comment and the “dreamy and imaginative”, but not so sure about the “smart”.
And thank you for your visit, it is muchly appreciated.

Dreams like this are “sweet”, Fia. They are “cozy” as well, but then there comes the hollowness when you awaken and realize it is just a dream, a memory of what once was. Thank you, Fia, for your comment.

Thanks, Styxian, for your visit and comment. They are deeply appreciated.

Thanks for the truly wonderful comment and compliment, Styxian. Pablo was indeed a Grand Poet! I think his poetry flowed from his deep love of the people, their struggles, their love, and their place in the world. He truly was a poet of the people.

Hi Light. I am not sure how you would define or label a sonnet like this. Pablo Neruda wrote his sonnets in this free style form. It still held to the 14 lines but had a different internal rhythm than the traditional Shakespearean Sonnets. The last 3 lines usually are the heart or twist for the poem. A google search reveals this explanation for his sonnets:

“Pablo Neruda’s sonnet style is characterized by its evocative language, rich imagery, and complex poetic techniques. His sonnets often explore the theme of unending love, using metaphors and sensory details to create an intimate connection between the reader and the poet. Neruda’s sonnets are divided into four sections, each representing a different part of the day, and he uses the sonnet form to convey his message about the timeless relevance and universal appeal of love. His work has been translated into English numerous times, and it continues to resonate with readers around the world.”

Thank you Light for reading, comment and visit.

Thank You for your response❤️ I am only fimmliar with the classical form of Sonnets, to write Sonnets with Free Style seems my way 😄

Good Coffee Morning ☕

Thank you muchly for your comment, Fia. I appreciate how you see this poem, how it affected you. Exactly, how it made you ‘feel’.

Adelphina, I love your comment, thank you. I think words do want their freedom and we poets simply pluck them from wherever they are and arrange them on a page. It was strange, actually, when I captured the word Enigma, Indigo appeared in my mind, like magic.
