How Can One Recant a Kiss

How can one recant a kiss, Or disignite a spark? One might as well unhook the stars And stumble in the dark. T would be ill-favored to withdraw So grand a thing as this, Let passion play without regard And forever hold, the kiss.

You made my day with that comment of yours...and I see you don't need any "critique" yourself. I dream to write poetic like this. Very very talented. I love the tone in this write of yours..not too much and not too little. It leaves the reader wanting more.

My pleasure. You know more about poetic device than I do. I've taught poetry for years, but I don't know what a Poulter's Measure is ;) But if I've got it, cool! Have a Happy easter, and drop by soon. Peace. Mel :)
