Notes About The Poem

My Love An Anacreontic Couplet Work

Like a pale red running rose Are the cheeks of my love, his nose After he has walked a mile Thinking of me all the while At the opened door a kiss His heart melts with the sheer bliss Then the children gather round Screams, laughter, those joyous sounds Hugs and kisses, lets go play Hopes of sex, delayed that day

Thanks for sharing this. God bless you. Meanwhile, I greet you with a Joyous New Year with this prayer from the Bible in Numbers 6:24-26, "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."

Thanks for the blessing from the Bible. Very similar to an Irish blessing which probably came from a slight variation of the Bible. I appreciate the visit. Sara K

A poem on family ties and the bond between husband and wife. To have an active and joyous family time, sometimes the couple will have to make some sacrifices. Love the image of a happy family that you have painted dear Sara.

Dear Sara, you always convey thoughts that readers can resonate with. Especially married couples when children are around, how sometimes they need to prioritize for kids sake. I love the rhymes and how heartfelt this is too. So well written couplets. Pleasure reading your work. Best wishes for the contest , if it is for the contest

Sara, that is so true. The fondness and intimacy we might wish to have sometimes takes a back seat to other types of play. At least it's play that interrupts in this scenario. Not so bad really. Just very human.

I remember those days when children had to have their attention, Duke, even though sometimes it seems like eons ago. Thanks for the visit. Sara K

Nothing beats family and loved ones as for the sex, there's always tommorow or even the next day lol. If it's for a contest, good luck. Tom
