Nice twist at the end, Jude.

Jude, perfect. ~ Sara

LOL. Eileen pegged this well, but I'm sure you're most sincere in this sweet penning. ;~)~Nordette

You say the sweetest things.......lucky lady that is hearing them :-)

Your command of the written word is breathtaking Jude...

love and peace, Carole

These words are so dreamy and enchantig. I like this poem a lot.

Testament to the power of words..
Now all the girls poetry will say Jude is included..
Looks like the Tonic Kate needed.. Well done..

I weep at the beauty and reverence of this piece; sheer brilliance, Jude. This feels like honied tears kissing my dessicated soul tonight... yes, I'm getting a bit frayed by this stage! This has intricate balance and detailed dovetailing - like all the delicate designs that interweave through creation itself; a Creator's blueprint. "Wondering if your words Will ever decide to include me" - what humility is this? To subjugate your own powerful muse to the penning of a mortal mind, inspired or not. And how can you ever doubt that, in some way, many of us are influenced in this particular "hive" of poetry by the work and muse one of it's masters, if not THE "Queen" (sorry about that, but there you go!)? We are all worker bees, dancing to the same tune; doubtless shades of "you" turn up everywhere! Bees are fascinating creatures; someone told me recently that the pheromones secreted and the intricacies of their "dance moves" can be picked up so accurately that, in this way, news of what's happening even on the other side of the world is known to them; that's how and what they are communicating. Well, that's enough from me, but I'm glad that you, Senor Prophet, are at least feasting in the same way and as well as John the Baptist as you speak out in the desert! I would ditch the hair shirt, though! :)) And, for sure, you will never find yourself alone! You certainly are at your most beautiful when you demonstrate how to "bow down" in order to lift someone else up... this demonstrates the spirit of true worship - worth-ship, and bestows much honour. This is much better for me than Ovaltine tonight! Settles me pre-op nerves! LOL and be well. TY Kate xx

Magnificent, inspiring and touching, "Including Words" leads
to the prairies of creativity, showing its green boughs of
fruitful season.

I salute You, Poet!

finely worded with poetic beauty

delightful as always!!! so proper so intense... the imagery and declaration you bring out through your words simply amazes me and intrigues me!!

Your Words here, are vey good, Jude.

Well alright! Whew! I love this! Bravo!

You ease into a poet's conscience with this work and make him strive to do as well as you do so easiily. You know how to roll the words so wisely in a tapestry of creativity the rest of us can only hope to aspire to.

Well i do declare, this is enuff to make any self respecting OZZIE Girl want to write something appropriate....

Hmmmmmm

;)Ch'erie

Tasteful poem. No doubt she includes you her words as you are her muse.

Robert,
Your words always find me and keep me pleasantly satisfied as I walk through your world of words time after time.
One begins to expect greatness on your pages, and again I leave here with a full heart and the taste of sweetness on my tongue.
Great write yet once again.

What a sweet mastermind you are Sir Jude,You have every woman drooling and hoping it's meant for them,hurrying to write a special poem just for you;-)...Your unique and beautiful mind has produced yet another captivating poem!

Love,
Eileen

My, you do have a way with the English language. Many have tried, but few have achieved your graceful way with words.

Jude...you be cool dude.
Love it, and have missed reading you.

Love,
Elizabeth

I've got a zillion quick, witty things to say, but seeing as you are a serious sort of guy when it comes to poetry... aw shucks, I just can't do it. OF COURSE, I'll write one for you. lol. a wonderful poem tonight. Dawn

Can I get a witness? Do you feeeel this people? A rousing "Amen!" from the chorus! Your passion moves me as your lady muse moves you.
She must be a brilliant inspiration, Jude...Lin

The first stanza made me laugh out loud in a rather bawdy manner, but as your poem progressed I was drawn into the depth of your words and by the end, left with a rather sad feeling for someone experiencing unrequited admiration. Beautiful expressive write, Jude, I could feel the awe and the wonder and I wanted to be there to make sure that the object of your muse truly knew your thoughts. With a gentle tug, you pulled me into this poem and I just wanted to curl up and live within it for a while. Another one for my library, thank you for such a wonderful read.
Take care,
Sherry

Very nice. I especially love the ending.

Your words sum it up beautifully.

This drips with lusty nectars in a wax camp from the author who has caught a buzz high on the sky, home of Sol and Luna, Earth and Mars. Any one of these skylar abodes inspire me to take a trip to my local planetarium and pick out Jude's Muse. She's the one with the long dark hair to match his! Strings attached! What's that, a sitar she's playing! Jude, this is poetic skylar '60s Rock 'n Roll Honeycomb!

Wistful, beautiful imagery, lovely for the senses...great piece. Michelle
