Kiwi Kisses Fingertips ... skating pirouettes in silence of trails in blaze across valleys lost ... between kiwi kisses in passionate pouting sighs Beckonings sold in whispers chained silent against the horizon rail as the day dips it's toes into the bath of night ~blushing~ in the warmth of love as it sets against the arms of two lost in tranquil unity in the front row of nature's lullaby Shared shoulder to cheek in comfort's embrace between spined arches ~traced~ in flights of gaze and silent promises cast to constellations of applause upon these dunes of stage where tomorrow's encore shall find us front rowed once more in concert of kiwi kisses Mark Christopher [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (08-09-2002 01:55 AM).] |

hey gorgeous! heh heh.  'sIt's kinda hard NOT to love this, it has my lip-prints all over it--okay, okay, but that's not a "lame" excuse! What an afterglow...  --and? I thought "kiwi kisses" kinda "cutesy"---until I read. It's okay. I've underestimated men before...chuckling... AND? OVERESTIMATED.  HUGS YOU. EXCELLENCE, as always. |

Ahhhh fuzzy kisses....but so very sweet and exotic. You're just doing an overwhelming job of poetic romanticism with your wonderful choice of words in this free verse....  Your poetic imagery leaves one with warm fuzzies like kiwi  .. I just wonder what the  are like.Your free verse could be addicting!  I will be eagerly watching for more, Markaloha, Cher Poetry is: |

~blushing~ in the warmth of love as it sets against the arms of two lost in tranquil unity in the front row of nature's lullaby and then to top it off with sweet kiwi kisses, what a perfect ending to a day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ in the front row of of nature's lullaby that line alone is pure poetry in motion Mark. Me thinks that Mr. Bohanon can write free verse about romance any day he wants to and listen to all of us sigh deeply with admiration........ sigh..... oh yeah, back to the poem again.... very tender and romantic filled with lovely images that even the moon would be jealous of Mark. Wonderful writing... Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. |

"as the day dips it's toes into the bath of night ~blushing~ in the warmth of love as it sets against the arms of two lost in tranquil unity in the front row of nature's lullaby" My, oh my, oh my this is beautiful Mark. The visuals you painted in this piece were so very vivid ... a soft, theatrical performance of words to start my morning ... what a delight! Very lovely indeed, my friend. Best wishes, /Kit |

Fingertips ... skating pirouettes in silence =================== between kiwi kisses in passionate pouting sighs Beckonings sold in whispers chained silent against the horizon rail as the day dips it's toes into the bath of night ~blushing~ ======================= lost in tranquil unity in the front row of nature's lullaby Shared shoulder to cheek in comfort's embrace between spined arches ~traced~ in flights of gaze and silent promises cast to constellations of applause upon these dunes of stage ============================== Ya paint a lovely scene of serene here MC .. just as in your last post...your free verse delivers all the poetic passion and mastery that your rhymes do...the imagery, metaphor and personification are the centerpiece..ya even snuck in some alliterations and hints of rhyme, your line breaks and poetic phrasing are flawlessly seamed with those accented words to create the soft flow of this sensual, romantic write. The beach inspires lovely things in your pen, Beckonings sold in whispers chained silent against the horizon rail How cool is that image and express. Well done Poet MC ... but then I knew the "No Rules" -- rules of free verse would be a lesson you'd excell at  mothyme If all the tear drops went to heaven |

serenity-That's okay .......I thought your lip prints on the monitor kinda cutesy too until I realized they were on the inside of the monitor. Thanks angel. I appreciate you. Madame Chipmunk-Thank you dearly. I am glad you found it rich in it's images. Honeybee-Sighs breathing sighs.....IS THAT SAFE? Thank you much. It is always nice to see your name here.CSKpoet- If it left you with warm fuzzies then I am happy. I didn't know kiwis could be addicting but at least they aren't fattening. Thank you sincerely for your always wonderful visits. Duncan-That's okay....I am allergic to kisses but the eyes were great! Thanks CT man. Have a GREAT WEEKEND! Mistletoe Angel-Hey......did ya know that you just light up the forums just by being so giving. Thanks kind sir for your very kind responses always. I appreciate it. Gentle Spirit-Would the day be ending or just beginning? Glad you came back to the poem......thought you might have passed out! I don't know about the moon being jealous but it is a nice compliment and I do thank you dearly for taking the time to point out your favorites lines. You are appreciated much. Kit-As soon as I see your name I always get a wider smile. Thank you for you and I am glad you enjoyed the performance. Sunshine-According to the "no rules" rule.....it is easy to write but that doesn't make the sneeze any more "purty" does it? One more sneeze and then back to the security of rhyme. Whew!!!! Dark Stranger-Or something like that assuredly. Thank you sir. It is a pleasure to see you here. Holly-Shhhhhhhhhhhh....you aren't suppose to hint about where the brussel sprouts come in. Jeeeeezzzzz, those are for the moments more special than the special moments. Thanks golden wings. You know your word hugs always make me "Yeehaw". Enchantress-Conjure away and then write it so we can see it too. Thanks much for always stopping by. catalinamoon-yes, it should always be this way but unfortunately kiwis aren't seasonal all year round so we just have to wait sometimes. Thank you dearly. BloomingRose-Then I am elated that I decided to labor in the fruit basket. Thank you much for your smiling support. Marge-Yeah........I do believe I did and I am glad you let me know. Thanks for you and the hugs. Martie-Have a seat directly to my left if you promise to pen it after you watch the show. Eclipses happen on Friday nights if you want the extended show. Thanks sweet friend. You know that you are treasured.JM-Now I don't believe I SNUCK it in at all. I checked it at the first dune and they passed me through. Friends inspire me........the beach just give me the lighting effects. Thanks sweetness for being there and not being there and then always tapping my shoulders to whisper..."I never left...only shadowing the shadows to soften them up a bit". btw....don't lick the screen of kiwis......they look great but taste a little dusty........oops...."wiping monitor down"........never mind....go ahead, they taste much better now. LOLGoodknight-Thank you for that and if it provoked powerful feelings then I hope you are able to capture some of them. Magnus-OKAY ALREADY!!!!!! NO more kiwi poems. By the way, is your clone the descended version or the elapsed version. I am shopping for mine now but haven't decided which features I like the best. Thanks much, but no strikes okay. ethome-I do believe I see you....you are the one singing in wider brights of white just over the third ring of Saturn. Thanks my friend. It is nice to see you. CSKpoet-Seconds already? Did the sign say "all you can eat"? ~checking the ad~ Yeppers......it does........indulge. Thanks for the return trip.

Mark, I've never liked kiwi, I've never had a sweet one, but... I can tell by this nestling, nuzzling write that, if they were combined with your kisses, they would be MORE THAN SWEET ENOUGH. sigh, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww  Whether on the shoal or on the shore, I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
