    • Creatively done Adelly. I like the metaphors within this and the addiction related idea. Nice!!!!

    • Hey there Tim!
      Of course I find a typo! Hahaha
      It’s always after I post!

      Thanks for checking this out buddy.
      Just wrote today:)

    • Beautifully penned, Adel. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Crisp… resounding… well done my dear

      • Thank you! It’s a phrase I’m thinking about for my next book!
        It was originally going to be Poetry Stained Teeth – The Golden Addition but me and my typos!
        I put addiction instead and I thought – Hmmm, I dig it! Hahaha

    • This poem brilliantly captures the allure and danger of obsession. The golden imagery makes the craving feel vivid, intense, and almost irresistible, while the tension between desire and self-destruction gives it a haunting edge.

      • Hi Roma. Yes, that’s exactly where I was going.
        How we can be so caught up in what we think is good for you and over do it.
        Tricking ourselves into destruction.

        Thanks for the comment!

    • Excellent ink my friend and subsequently awarded the dubble thumbs up and a gold star .. Neville 😎👍👍⭐

    • It’s cool how you left the golden addiction nameless to the end but alluded to it throughout. I’m a moon girl, myself. The sun hates me. 😂 This was beautifully executed!

      • The sun hates everyone that’s why we get sunburned. Hahaha
        A little is okay but too much is painful. It can feel like an oven.
        But I see people baking out there, loving it.

        I love the moon too:)
        It’s forgiving

        Thanks for checking this out!

    • Hahaha. I love that!
      I’m glad you enjoyed the romp amigo!
      Stay cool Adagio!

    • Hey there. I’m the guy in the back, late, but clapping along with everyone else. LOL
      Awesome write, Del. It’s a tinge on the darker hue of mood, but it isn’t depressing. It’s actually like a scowl towards the sun, knowing you have to face it. That’s an underlying strength. Which you have!
      Great stuff young lady!

      • Better late than never!
        You get special passes young man. Hehehe
        I was in a mood so I went with it and this write was given birth. lol
        Thanks again love buddy:)

    • love buddy? OMG it sounds like a reality show ! You ready? I told you that you have natural star qualities. Time to show up!

      • I’m grabbing my star studded shoes and clicking three times while chanting I want to go to Mark’s:)
        And you are my love buddy!

    • Cool. I’m your tin man babydoll.
      My gal pal! My funk punk!
      My grammarly mammories!

    • Tremendous work. I relate.

      • Hi Thomas.

        Thank you. Wanted to post something a little edgy and different.
        Sometimes I want to sound like a poet and sometimes I want to sound like a mess. lol

        Thanks again!

    • Love love this one! there is something special and alluring about it, (the sun was my omen) is a line that sticks in the head! All this poem reminds me when there is so much emotions and feelings, overwhelming and overflowing… and You don’t know what to do with them, You look at the sun and all You feel is You wanting to be it, wanting to expand with no end! Fabulous Bright Poem ✨🌞✨

      • Oohh. I dig this comment! Yes expand with no end. When our time comes our life force transforms into something else entirely. Into energy and off we go! Being on that level of transcendence, I can only imagine.
        Thanks for stopping by and commenting:)
        It was enlightening!

      Damian

    • Hey Damien!

      Thank you for that. He just got home from a bike fest.
      How could I not post this! Lol
      Thanks for checking this out amigo;)

    • Great job with this… tight stanzas… great flow… I’m sure he will love it

    • He better! Hahaha
      Thank you 😊

    • I don’t need a harley. You’re all the excitement that I can handle! Your enthusiasm and sincere curiosity towards things is so addictive to me. It’s what I needed in my life!
      Oh, and the fact that you are a writer too, as well as an artist with digital imagery, just cements the deal!

      Thanks for the smile that I got from this read. And the thoughts! You made quite a Splash… lol

      • I love that movie!! You know this!
        Everything in this write reminds me of us.
        How could I not post, especially knowing you were going to a bike fest.
        Thanks for all the pics you sent.
        What can I say, you make me curious. lol

    • This was fun read. I hope you enjoyed the Tequila

    • I love the soft rhymes and whimsical flow — the poem beautifully mixes playful with intimate longing, like a tide carrying desire and anticipation.

      • Hi Roma.
        Thank you. I’ve seen a few motorcycles with a mermaid spray painted on the tank.
        Wouldn’t it be cool if they were able to come alive!

        It was a vision I saw playing out in my head so I wrote it down. A mermaid swimming towards her
        lover who happens to own a Harley. The motor is so loud she hears it even underwater:)

        Thanks for checking this out!

    • Oooo! This is SO sweet! I will love anything with mermaids! and when I was reading along your poem, I was thinking that mermaids and motorcycles (or let’s us say the RIDER of motorcycle😎) would make a unique amazing couple! this was fun to read, I bet Mark was smiling when he read it as I’m smiled too😊.

      • Aww thank you. I wrote this when I had this image of a mermaid sleeping in water. Her eyes pop open when she hears the harley motor vibrate the water. Up she goes getting all primed up for her date. lol
        It was fun to write.
        Thanks for checking this out!

    • Powerfully penned, Adel. Into the book it belongs! Excellent write my friend, this one has layers. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Hey Damien:)

        Thank you. I wanted to try something different when I first wrote.
        From the victim perspective. Giving her a voice.
        I’m glad you enjoyed:)

    • Truly engaging… tight lines… smooth rhyming

    • Thank you!
      Wanted to try something different and from a victim perspective.
      Criminal Minds sometimes freaks me out! Lol

    • There’s two of you!? What!
      No way, you’re as original as they come sweetheart!
      I’ve always enjoyed reading your material, obviously. It was what reeled me in to begin with. This write of yours shows your diversity in themes and mood too. Not too dark, but plenty of shadowy imagery to compel the reader to peek.
      Solid write, super intriguing.

    • Hey babe,
      Sometimes you write something and wonder if you should post. This was one of those writes. I posted it on
      DUP a long time ago and heard about the whole Houston thing. It reminded me of this write so I put it back out in the writing universe. lol. Thanks for being my rock honey. You are priceless!

    • Well I identify as a rock, but we both know that I’m a stick. LOL
      Smooch!

    Love Sonnet I

    • Awesome. I love love Pablo. He was a big influence on how I developed as a writer.
      Your “tribute” here is very well done. Top tier. He’d definitely give you a smile and a nod of acknowledgement, as do I.

      • 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.

    • I saw a “Sonnet”, and I immediately click in, though I don’t know how to write them or other forms of poetry, but for me sonnets always held the mysterious allure. It seems You are like me blending love, poetry and nature, and I love this, your first Sonnet feels like a door to an ongoing story… sweet and passionate, may I ask what kind of Sonnet is this? I’m unfamiliar with this form.

      • 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 ☕

    ENIGMA YOU Beachcombing for shells, Daydreaming, I found myself Exploring the Atlantic floor Near the Pillars of Hercules And North African shores.

    • Words have weight and motion and I love how this moves a person to feel the words.

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

    • What a great story. I especially loved when you wrote about words flying off the book.
      So vivid! Words wanting freedom. What a great way to bring them to life.

      • 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.
