I couldn't resist posting a response to Balladeer's incredibly moving poem,
entitled "Dear Honey-Poet DeVine's Challenge" …
Thank you for the inspiration sweet poet, you are amazing.

/pip/Forum52/HTML/003009.html

My Darling …

My darling, it has been a while,
I miss you very much,
I miss the tenderness we shared,
I miss your loving touch.

I'm sorry that I walked away,
However, now I know,
That I should not have left your side …
It seems so long ago.

I searched and searched to no avail,
My quest has been in vain;
A hollow journey on my own,
With emptiness and pain.

I wished so many times that I
Could wander back to you,
But each day, it grew harder
To apologize a'new.

The distance seemed to widen,
As the days grew dark and long,
The time that passed just seemed to
Make it worse, to right my wrong.

I'm sorry for the hurt I've caused,
My guilt has been immense ...
I'd wish for your forgiveness,
But I have no good defense.

I'd ask you for a second chance,
But know I can't un-do,
The pain and anguish I have caused,
To both the boys and you.

So I will place this letter
In the box beside my bed,
Along with all the others,
Tucked away to you … un-read.

Kit, this is a wonderful response to Balladeers poem. You picked up the theme and emotion in his poem, and responded perfectly. What a sad love story each of these poems tell. If they were true, I’m sure I’d be crying. Thankfully they’re only fiction.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

I am in total agreement with the others. Nicely done. Unfortunately, there are many out there who have felt the same feelings that you have penned.

Kit - you do tell it like it is. And to put the letter away, not to be read. Wow, what heart telling words...

And Michael ... I'm looking forward to your response to my response to your response, to .... lol) But Michael ... brother & sister? ACK! Oh, I hope not 'deer, I hope not!!!

As the days grew dark and long,

Make it worse, to right my wrong.

Trying really hard to read these in order. Love your sequel, Kit...moving on now.

Kit,
Dear friend...you do bless my life. Thanks so much and now that I have this collection in my library I'll attempt to join these for a brief time. A shame they are split between 17 & 18.

Well, at least degenerating into giggles at Deer's "responsible guy" comment snapped shut my jaw... it was hanging open in awe at your ability to answer his poetry so perfectly. *S* Well done! *S*

Thank you again for all the wonderful responses to this series. Little did I know writing this one, that we'd continue on for a few more poetic rounds!

Your comments are all so very much appreciated, thank you!

Best wishes and hugs

I'm just popping in a link to Larry's thread, where he pulled all 5 links together for us, including the finale, so I can find these down the road myself.
