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.

Crisp… resounding… well done my dear

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.

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

Great piece.

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!

A wonderful romp.

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!

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

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

Tremendous work. I relate.

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 ✨🌞✨

Beautifully penned, Adel. Always a joy to hear a love story about you and Mark. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

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

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.

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😊.

The cup of truth. I like how you wrote that even though it is broken, it is its most valid form.

Hey Fia… thanks

I love the idea of painting over sorrow with gold.
The rest flowed flawlessly amiga.
It’s great seeing you post:)

Powerfully penned, S. Excellent write my friend, hope you enjoyed your journey in Japan. Appreciate you.

Wabi Sabi

Lots of wabi-sabi, now ma aware, the rhyme of one word…

As beautiful a write as it is strong. This is the type of write I search for. Strong, empowering. Hopeful.
I feed off such things, to better my own writing, by the mood created in a write. You succeeded greatly here.

Sinisterly penned, Brenda. A powerful dark write my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

Fantastic!

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

Damian

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!
