I must be getting senile - I do not think I posted this -I just wrote it 4/30 = but 'search' did not reveal its posting - ~sigh~ Your hair - I suppose This could be a senryu A mere seventeen syllables A short paean to its beauty But were I to so cease Would be a sin beyond My ability to comprehend For in its waves tis like the sea In its scent gardens of Gallilea As it frames your face only It takes second place Yet more I sing of your hair wet In bath or shower Glorious you bet Your hair - I suppose I could conclude now Yet you know I'd admit What pleases me most As each strand I plow Wielding comb and brush To love you and please you To stroke out its glory Caress it to please me Caress it and kiss you Your hair - I suppose Is just strands of protein But like your eyes There's much more to its sheen So let me simply confess That I love your hair And more - all that you are For I do find you so fair The first duty of love is to listen. |

Very nice Bill. Some days I wonder if I'm getting senile too. *s* On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. |

I think you write so many lovely love poems that there are quite a few out there we haven't yet seen. This is nice. Joyce |
