I am seeing many beautiful and longer poems in this contest. I hope it was ok to keep it simple and do only one verse!

These arms long to hold you; these lips soft and red are yearning to kiss you. Oh, why can’t you see the woman who loves you the most sincerely is here while you’re loving another instead! Sept. 17, 2019 for Edward Ibeh's Pick A Title, Vol 9 - Enclosed Rhyme Poetry Contest I chose title #2 My Arms Long to Hold You. It reminded me of a romantic song.

Romance can be a tricky business. A little story - I was at the shoemakers and said I wanted a belt that would attract a beautiful Jewish woman. I voice behind me said "Is it O.K if she is 70?" I said ?"I am 63 - so why not" 64 on the 14th of October. Sweet write about a common situation, Andrea. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Andrea, I love a good unrequited poem. We've all had a crush on somebody, secretly admired from someone else. Very nice Enclosed Rhyme Andrea. Good luck! -Richard

I give you permission to be poetically short and any other thing you wish to be, simple is beautiful after all. My head hurts so bad that when I read your title, I think I said, 'oh, please do' aloud. Made it to the vet and here to post something I wrote last week, now reading some of you before going back to horizontal mode. Love, CayCay

I would stop longing for the bum! Still you expressed this well and there are many women who find themselves with these same feelings.
