she flows with passion
for the written words in her poems
when she is excited and happy
her verses celebrate, sometimes even berate
as only she can
reading her lines you understand
they are as pure as a cool jazz note
from sax or flute
hers is an ancient wisdom
and it is under complete control
over the years
I’ve been a fortunate
reader of her style and have learned from it
she is a true poet
her verses can be dark
very dark
what was I thinking kind of dark
and can be girlish
to the extreme
and those titles which fall in between
are but life lived
hurts borne
secrets unearthed
a deep thinker and a lover of being
n’er to ask
what she herself will not give

I don't want to crash anything, only to say that I felt the poem was very good. I can see by the replies that it was very well received. Good luck you two!

Touch, but don't look

I don't know for sure JerryPat2. It was kinda like walking in on your parents on a Sunday morning. Having read the poem, it just sorta felt that way. I think I'm embarrassing myself and feeling a little foolish. No offense intended.

However you feel I can't help. You parent response was bizarre to say the least. This poem is about a lady who writes poetry, not a sexual romp, man.

Please don't get me wrong. I didn't want to imply anything in a mean-spirited or suggestive way. Bad choice of humor on my part as I'm only now getting familiar. I'll try to think a little faster than I type next time.

My apologies.

Jack
