No Return Strategy

It was a boomerang love affair of "once upon a midnight dreary" preponderances mid ecstasy & woe obliterating affection's sensibilities, strategic mid tomorrow's yesterdays [nectar'd apricot marmalade honey neath sizzling hot habanero spices] doused with tears betwixt fiery tumult and indescribable embraced moments clutching onto daunting fairy tales of happily afters & no return adaptations ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ of lioness queen's jungle and overbearing laughing hyenas Poe - 'one upon a midnight dreary'

Ultra-cool poem, Paloma. I really loved the flow, the meter and the imagery paired together. A winning combo for sure. Another great poem, Lady poetess. Keep the love and knowledge flowing. Keep loving and living, sharing and giving. Ty for this treat of a sweet poem. May you live long and prosper. Much love to you.

I give sixes where others give sevens, holding back the top rating for something really exceptional. I almost used one of those rare gifts here because this quite exceptional. I very much enjoyed the word play which hints at a barely restrained sense of humour. I look forward to reading more of your works.

I just noticed you are one of the top new poets on the site and one of the most active in reading and commenting, why is no one reading you?

You're back! Sweet of you to say Chris, I think it's the excess make-up, scares people off, but it's Audrey freaking Hepburn. :)

"Happily afters and no return adaptations" Don't I know how this feels. Your poem is mesmerizing, if words came in colors, this would be the exit side of a prism. Wow, this was amazing.

Okay, that's gotta be the coolest critique ever, 'the exit side of a prism', poetry runs through your veins. :) Many thanks Chris.
