    Still My Valentine

    My Valentine is miles from hereand February’s atmospherehas cloaked the stars.  A snowy shroudengulfs my heart inside a cloud. But through the tundra’s ice and snowI feel his warming afterglow,a breath across the vast divideexpelled just as he comes inside my wanton...

    Beginnings

    The Lending

    You are the lending.Shield and sword, majestic lord,my strength, my hope, my happy ending. You,the wall that cannot fall,the tree that stands against my storm,my gale.You hold your formwhen words impaleyour heart. When I alone am blown apart,you are my mending.Pain...

    • Beautiful gentle rhyming, and such a lovely tribute to your dad.

    • I never saw this side of you on DUP.

      Like the others I’m blown away by this entry.

      Bravo DK

    • My pleasure, Scarlett! Thank you for reading.

    • Thank you, Hana!

    • A lump in my throat, is not always so bad.
      In this instance, it is both happy and sad. 🌈🙏🏼

      My dear, softhearted poetess,
      some things cannot be denied;
      for, I must truthfully confess
      you’ve touched me deep inside.

      Carefully, while considering You,
      your dad was one helluva guy.
      Saying this, I swear that it’s true,
      ’cause no one’s LIKE you, is why.

      What else could I say about him,
      when you reflect much that he was.
      Times he made you sink or swim,
      shines out in all your poetry does.

      DK 💫
      Soft, velvet rose, emblem of his soul, Freestyle poetry with pure intermittent, intertwining rhymes in symbolic homage to your tender, lasting bond … what else can I possibly offer to equal this sheer wondrous beauty in feeling that exceeds the meager reach of my words … your “Lending” heart-touching poem has inspired?

      What else to share, but Love for You ‘n Your Dad! ⁓ Richard 💛

      • You are so sweet, Richard. I would melt in your big Texas arms. I actually wrote this on Father’s Day a few years ago. Thank you for this amazing review. I’m speechless. You blow me away, baby.

  • You know, I have visions of this money jar by the bed. John Wayne huh? Well, alright Pilgram.
