Thank you, Andrea! Yes, the ladies deserve the best a man can offer for they are beauty incarnated!

No better response to a compliment than a compliment. You're a man of deep insight and sensitivity, Demetrios. Much as I'm eye-literate I tried to read your eyes and I have to agree with your lady friend: they are beautiful. A host of other adjectives came to mind, which will remain unsaid, but I daresay they might drill a hole right through to a person's soul, albeit gently. Nice poetry, my friend. I like. Licia :-)

Dear Licia, I think this is our first encounter and I regret that so late it came! Thank you for your visit and your complement that makes me blush and leaves me speechless! If I follow your advice though and answer a complement with a complement then I do not have to look for long since the splendor of your smile can easily add beauty to the eyes of the onlooker!

WOW! As they say - beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Don't worry - If you are on thin ice and fall, i will give you my hand. You are safe... Lucilla

What a lovely reaction, dear Russell! Well, I feel awkward and embarrassed but I did not want this to pass without expressing my appreciation to her in a way that would surpass her compliment. She deserves it for she is a unique lady, kind and loving! Thank you!

I am aware that writing this poem I am skating on thin ice, BUT , wanting to pay back the complement a lady made, I came up with this answer for I do not think she is right! Thank you, dear Eileen, for your kind complement that certainly I do not deserve, however my answer is already given! God bless you for seeing beauty everywhere!

I never doubted the sincerity of the person's heart , it is only the fact I deserve such a complement that I doubt! Thank you once more for your kindness!

Never doubt the sincerety of words....especially when you know the heart of the giver. Your eyes shine eith their own beauty....not reflected light...Me agapi
