Innocent young loves,
Lost in a world all their own,
~ a time remembered.

sweet puppy romance
soft whines of child laughter
in sweethearts first kiss



(sigh) Oh Linda, I still wait for my first kiss (even first hold of my sweethearts hand) so very much, sweet friend, this brought a tear to my eye because it is so gorgeous, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah ~

I like your senryu much better than mine! Why don't you post it? Besides, wouldn't it be fun to surprise those who click on a Mistletoe Angel poem and saw your little charmer instead of one of your usual epic masterpieces? tehe

Noah, you surprised me when you wrote that you have not had a first kiss--is that ever?

If you have never experienced a "first kiss", it will be very special when it does happen. It will be so sweet and special and will have been worth the wait. The girl will certainly be fortunate to have been kissed by an angel!

(sigh) Oh Linda, thank you so much for the beautiful encouraging comment, your words are always like a huge angelic hug to me! (big hugggssssss) It is so very true that I haven't had one kiss, period yet. And the one I want to share my first kiss with more than anyone is my sweet Joanna; she is my Guinevere and I love her with all my heart! For one whole year I have dreamed of it as my love for her grows every day and she to me is like Persipherone, like Terpsichore, like my Lady of Shalott. She loves to call me her "blue-eyed love dove". We would have already met too if she wasn't so busy with her work; her parents are kind of strict on her and want her to get all the money to support her life so she has to work many hours to do so, but we still send love letters and haven't let go of each other from miles apart! Oooohhhhhhh...I hope I get to smooch her soon!



Thank you so much for being you, you are an angel of a friend!



Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah ~

I appreciate your last reply. It helped me understand your relationship with Joanna. I have read so many of your wonderful poems of love to her, but I had so many questions.

You are a walking vessel of love and beauty, and all good things come to those who wait.
Your time will come, whether it is with Joanna or some other fortunate young lady. You just have too much to offer to keep it all bottled up inside you forever.

You are so loved here at PIP. Everyone wants the best for you and for you to be happy!

luvya lotz

yep, sometimes we can remember young love...especially when we see it happening for others, nice senyru

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Thank you!

I wrote this senryu during a wistful moment of looking back on some wonderful memories.

Ahhhhh .... young love, it's so pure and romantic. But, young love doesn't always run smooth. My youngest and his girlfriend just split and he is heartbroken.

And Mom just listens and gives hugs...

Marti ~

Sorry to hear of your son's love problems. Perhaps we tend to idealize those days of our own young love experiences. They can be bittersweet.

~ hugs to you sweetie ~

Now, Linda how in the world did this hopeless romantic miss this one?!? I sure am glad that SG bumped it back to the top. As with all your work, I loved this one as well as all your replies...the ones others made and the ones you made back. You are such a sweet friend. I always look forward to your poetry and your replies to me, as well. You have such a kind heart and are such an encouragement to others.

By the way.....guess who I thought of when I read your poem?   Yep, even though I'm cerainly not a teenager anymore, Gary sure does make me feel as young and as "in love" as one!!!!

Thanks for sharing, sweet Linda........A.K.A. Earth Angel


Hugs to you...

Wow!---and what is the title of this book you wrote! tehe  What a wonderful reply!

I am so happy that you and Gary have found each other. How thrilling to be so in love---and an added bonus is that it will slow the aging process!

~ May your love last as long as you do! ~
