    I will not talk over you I will not struggle to be heard If you have no desire to listen I will not waste the words

    • hello green I have trouble listening I struggle with internal silence great write 💕

    • Sometimes nobody listens to eachother
      Even during years of conversation.
      This poem makes you think.
      Regards James

    • I certainly know that scene, and feel much as you do about it. I’m mostly a quiet type who doesn’t talk a lot, so when I do open my mouth, I want to be heard. What I want and what happens are often not the same, however. Communication should be a two-way street. Your few words are an important statement.

    Challenge Are you up for it?

    Calling all those who fish  I have an idea that's delish  Can you write about the catch  Not the one that you threw back    I have a Twist in mind  Not all fish are one of a kind  The catch can be by sea or...

    • this makes me think of metaphors for getting with someone romatically and going to the flea market and haggling for the write price haggling with a whore sorry Fia it’s the images your challenge brought 💕

      • It’s fine. Go for it and write crimsin

        • I cast desire upon the tide,
          My fingers tremble for her weight
          A secret urge I cannot hide,
          My bait a promise, sweet as fate.

          She rises shimmering, bare and bold,
          Her flanks and curve inflame the air
          Enticing as forbidden gold,
          She stirs my blood with fevered dare.

          She fights, resists, with sultry grace,
          Her finish slick against my skin;
          The pull, the yield, our swift embrace
          She swallows lust, I drink her in.

          On shore, still dripping wet with lust,
          Her form revealed, full-bodied, wild
          We meet as lovers, freed and flushed
          My catch, my craving, reconciled

    Another Problem Solved

    How can I miss you? When you never go away Water’s wet sky is blue Perpetual victim falls prey   Outside in the distance A stranger lies in wait Steeped in persistence  Always guarding the gate   When did I get wise? Is the proper question  As soon as a crow...

    • Dear D,

      You still got it. An incredible meter. Made me want to sing this. The imagery played in my head of a dark bus stop. Why? No clue. But the players in this piece for me, were intertwined. Trying to run but wanting to stay. I have a longer version running in my head but I’ll spare you the directors cut😊
      Wonderful write. H🌷

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, H. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I sometimes have that effect, it’s just the lyricist in me. lol. I always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

    • Haha great end there, friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I liked it as well. lol. Appreciate you.

    • Just reading Honoria’s comment above & I think she’s right. This one might need to be considered for your lyrics list on the album. It has a cadence that moves & the visual is captivating. Worth considering, my friend? 🤔

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Anything is on the table, maybe even spoken word. Never say never. The song I’m working on, I literally had to start writing lyrics to it. None of the old words were fitting the vibe. Also, I haven’t tried to write a song for many summers now. I kinda forgot sometimes the music leads the dance. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I remember this piece. I enjoyed it then, and I enjoy it now. Nice Damian.;))

    • hello dearest Damian I feel you I’m in love but the need for another hit outweighs romance great write 💕

    • Something tells me this is so good .. I got a foot that can’t stop tapping .. 😎👍

    Wine Bearer of the Caravanserai

    • Somewhere history and romance meet. A finely penned travel…thanks for the drink!

      • Thank you so much Benjamin! This is the first poem of the romantic historical quality I have written this year. I am very grateful for your words.
