The gryphon guards Scythian gold

The phoenix guards with riddled clues

But the powerful love and light of God

Will protect us from the likes of you.

Lovely little poem, Mikki. Like Daver mentioned...simple is best. Really very elegant. :) john

I'm shy and embarrassed to be still harping on about the same ridiculous stuff. This has nothing to do with mutual attraction, it's more of an obsessive possessive control issue. A love perhaps, for what he/they, had thought I might bring into that warped sphere. I am now resigned to releasing this to the universe, it goes beyond me! Besides folk will believe that I've lost my mind. Also, acknowledging their dogged presence, only feeds the behaviors. I'm not crazy, not yet! Thank you , and Daver had been a most wise and wonderful man :)

Love makes the world go round, and it does infinitely more than that, eh, Mikki? Poetry can really be so simple. You have the knack of showing this charm. Great long poems are not my style. I haven't the vocabulary or the skill. Giving one big simple hug, daver

True love, Daver, is what makes the world spin on its axis. The opposite feels like one is chased and kicked like a football...duh

Hello Mikki, This Canzone is indeed most excellent for sure. The powerful love and light of God is a force of divine omnipotence absolutely. Cogently written and metaphorically superb. In my book of "FAVS"!! Cheers and Best, Gary

Thank you for your kind comment. With the last line, stuff happens? :( It's cheap, it's dirty, it's vile, and it's horribly creepy. Andrea, I can still be happy for I still have what's most important; my children, my family and my friends.:)

Dearest poetess even in adversity your words resonate with strength and power. Your poetry shall rise as does Selene anew each eve. Your muse speaks to you from Olympus and cannot be banished by creatures drawn from Erebus. Write again! Love your friend Shane xxx

Ah, you will turn his envious face a darker shade of green; like frankCONstein, with the nuts intact in his head, but a few screws missing. Or perhaps the Easter Grinch with a green pistachio pudding face, that had entered my 'puter during Lent...stayed 40+ days. To top it off he'd taken amongst many things. thanx Shane!

Take that you dirty rat! Jimmy Cagney would love this poem, Mikki. If the hackers are reading, this must spoil their fun.Hug, daver

Honestly Daver, I don't think it spoils their fun at all; it's probably what they're expecting. Any attention is better than none at all in their books. Keep well,,, bear hugs to you! love, Mikki
