A whimsical journey...


Poem Artwork

 


 


I’ve often been told


simple pleasures are best…


Like an ermine soft kitten


that purrs in my ear…


A crystalline pool


on a hot summer day…


A mockingbird’s song


as the sun melts to dusk…


Toasty thick socks


warming popsicle toes…


A dinner that’s shared


with long absent friends,


A chocolate chip cookie


that's been dipped in cold milk…


The sweet scent of jasmine


growing in my backyard…


Best of all snuggling in


your strong loving arms,


It’s your love, it’s your touch,


in their own simple way


that completes me,


and fills up my heart.

sensuously passionate and seductively intense!

Though your pen is one of "Simple" pleasures, it delivers the complexity of desires that life at times moves too fast for people to enjoy. This is definately a "Stop and smell the Roses" pen. Well done.

All the delights of life are somehow connected - somehow kin to each other. Never before have I seen this so eloquently and delightfully depicted in a poem!
