Premium Member Courting in the Digital Age
A message sent, an icon lights the screen, Her heart skips with a hope—what will he say? No flowers now, just words in lines between, A digital courtship, love found this way. She reads his thoughts, like whispers through the night, A photo shared, a smile across the miles, Though screens divide, emotions take their flight, A growing bond, unseen but full...

Premium Member The Courting
He's poised at the threshold, ready to husk flight. His limbs are tense, and he seems to be in a plight. A deep pit awaits him below, as the sky is limitless. The time is here for him to fly away, vociferous. As he descends, he feels air rush under his wings. His voice vibrates in his head, and he...

Love Letter Courting a Black Widow Spider I do admire your knitting skills The sight of your cobweb fills me with thrills Your hourglass figure glowing red has never gripped my heart with dread The sight of you a passion rare instills So I could never believe, as I view fresh kills that the day we wed, I’ll be next day’s meals...

Courtney Mae Or Courting May
Come now, Spring! You’re such a fickle young thing! On the wings of newborn feathers, your wiles up and downturn winds to sudden cold flings tripping warming skins to tremble a while… Next come your silken color-filled fancies! Eyes beckoned, step out to be near such charms… Yens still, as you march as perfumed dandy, masking musky breath, that breezes sneezed...

Premium Member Courting the Sublime Significance of Nothingness
"Courting the Sublime Significance of Nothingness" The blue lines ripple like waves to the right side of the page vacantly calm from the shallow depths of the ponderous pond the words, fast black fins, break the wake surfacing mute reviews slowly circle the fresh poet treading water eyes watch below the waterline, waiting for the drowning like poisonous sea snakes slithering hear...

Premium Member Vivaldi Violin
Vivaldi’s Violin The sound begins vague as a thought from perhaps a misted remembrance made more distant more soft in the surrounding sunset not trusting eyes only ears. I sit up and listen indeed stretch all hearing as music surely music more than the wind’s whistling moves ever closer alerting me to a whole physical smiling through...

Premium Member The Courting Never Ends
Two weeks before we share our vows, in my Miller Hospital x-ray scrubs, I sit, a lull in the activity of the morning exams with Helen, a fellow wheel chair jockey. Closely she examines me, “Do you want to have a happy marriage?” I nod in affirmation. “Do you know the secret?” “No,” slips quietly from my lips, “Do you want to know?” “Yes, of course.” Her...

Of his bold prowess, and that he did care. He came courting and met her stout brothers. Her grandma and one of her stepmothers. They put him to work on the...
