The Challenge

You say you like to soar, Love Poetry your balm and lift: So, if it's a sonnet, I'm on it! Something longer, more romantically entwined~ then I'm inclined! Something light, and amorously funny...then I'm your honey! Whatever the writer's part, not word, nor damn limited alphabet, will keep me from winning your Heart!

Deliciously sweet to win the loved one's heart. These days, I see so many love poems coming from you. Have a renewed love life, dear Joe!

Hi Valsa; so much fun to write romantic poetry. Just reaching back into my past, restoring the old flame that first brought me to poetry. Seeing if I can still be human, and not always off on cloud 9 -- be back on cloud 9 soon -- my metaphysical muse tempting me with metaphysical apple pie. Have a great writing day my friend. Blessings.

The silver tongue is ready with love words. But aren't they only words? They at least should be give kudos for their innovation. Write on

Words, images: its all poetry. Nothing is real but poetry to the poet. Thank you, Hilda. We live by the word, and die by the word:) Gods of paper and pen.

Thank you, Michael. If not, I will have to write another. No such thing as too much romance. Have a great day my friend!

This somehow made me smile! Its a very witty and creative poem and its so touching too because it shows how one would love to win ones heart through poetry! Love especially the lines “ Something longer, more romantically entwined~ then I'm inclined! Something light, and amorously funny...then I'm your honey!” Seamless write really! Pleasure always reading your different poems! On different subjects! So versatile you are! Sending you light always

Thank you, so much, IE; I try to mix it up, not wanting to be too narrow with my concepts...but some subjects are endless. In need of constant fleshing-out...especially those topics deeply spiritual in nature.

Of course! When one explores the core of human nature, what else is worth greater expression? Thank you, Anne. Have a great, loving weekend!
