Romance is not exclusive to lovers... the young... or even the young at heart... Romance is not defined by flowers... or diamonds... or even sweet fancy words... Romance is not limited to dating... honeymoons... or even the newlyweds... Romance is not confined to bedrooms... places... or even a day of the week... Romance is not destined to wear out... grow stale... or even slowly fade away... Romance is found shining from our eyes... smiles... and even from our face... Romance will last forever in hearts... or our minds... and even our very souls... Romance is a blessing to living... loving... and even our way of breathing… |

Poetry giving us a simple exercise in what romance is, and what it is not. You are so right, Lori, romance . . . "is not destined to wear out... grow stale... or even slowly fade away..." No matter the daily grind we find ourselves in, romance is for real and forever. I like this poem. It makes me think, and smile. ~*~ I tried to catch some fog. I mist. ~*~ |

I'm so glad you agree Jerry! I hope you are not the only one. I like to think I'm being realistic here and not just a dreamer. Lori  |

Lori - if you can dream it then it's real - so they say. You are right though - if we are blessed with romance then it doesn't fade away. It just "is". |

First, I love, love the structure of your poem, very eye catching, it appears it took a lot of discipline to create it and, also, what thoughtful diamonds of wisdom each one of your little stanzas are. Much Enjoyed! quote: True, but you did a really, really good job of describing it anyways! |

O, Lori the Goose Girl ... You can not know my huge smile reading this, Because that is what I believe too. It is like friedship, it is like love. I have a dear married friend friend, and I have come to love her as dearly as I love any of my own, and I love all for whom she cares and loves, though I may only know her family vicariously through her. Love can not be exclusive. Lovers can not compete. Lovers can only love, and I love my dearest friends even though they are married and have children and families. I really like you, Lori the Goose Girl. I really, really co ... huge hugs Jaime quiet with Ginny |
