what a poignant poem for something that just came to you, and it goes beautifully with the photograph - you, cast off by the woman who had you and used you, like you once cast off a doll - and I love the conclusion. Since whoever this is is not deserving of you, I hope she never calls.

    In this case, it isn't a specific person, but regrettably a sort of atmosphere that seems to envelope me at times. My friends called me her boy toy and I really don't think that is the case. Thank you very much for your compliments and this review.

Just a poem huh? Well, it's very
romantic and hopeful. Maybe some
day she will realize the you are
different from the rest.
Your poem has a very good rhyme
and rhythm. Nothing to change. I
found no mistakes.

Have a nice weekend, Ana

    With this one, there have been more then one, but one of them is vastly different from the rest. lol But in a good way. This one just came to me and it started from comments my friends said, in reference to something that happened in summer, in fact they wanted me to leave writing all together. But my logic and thought dictated otherwise. Sometimes I think a form seeks my writing.

    Thank you so very much for your compliments and this review. Mike K2

Dried memories, hang like bouquet of last year's roses, upside down, slowly losing the original colour, my knight.
Take a branch of raspberries and stick it in the corner of your garden somewhere, don't forget to water it once in a while; next year, you'll have raspberry jam.
The doll reminds me of something.
Love,
Mila

    But a good reminded until some fresher one's come in. The doll is independant in this one, not related to paper dolls. I think that idea is aberry good one and harkens in the summer with a great taste. Though a pessimist would say, that's a good tart.

    Mila, Thank you so much for this wonderful and spirit filled review. Have a great weekend too.
    Love, Mike

Hi Mike. I like this very much. Don't put me in your press book, put me in the dried earth and see what grows. Excellent idea. Well done

This was going along great and then you lost me in the last verse. The sequence of events doesn't make sense. From dried earth, to corner of room, to water and see what blooms. Tweak that a bit Mike and you've got a really good write.

    Well, this time I am happy with this one. The doll and rose are both memories. I basically state that I don't want to be considered with the rest and hope that I stand out. A rose flower also contains a seed and it states that I value the experience enough, that if things should change. She what that see developes into. This one is a response of what people think about my situation locally. I really can't let myselg belive I was someone's boy toy. lol

    Thank you for your compliments and this review.

Nice touch to this poem Mike. A simple but important message exists here, let me grow, see me for who I am, watch me grow as a person in your presence, take a second look at me. Well that is what I got from your poem. I enjoyed reading it.

    I like this review and think it also states, don't forget, I know I stirred something in you. That nature within a girl to go through a room of dolls and somehow select one that really gets her attention. Thank you so much for your compliments and this review. Mike

I enjoyed this poem. It had some great images.
But the memory forever exists
in me, like a cherished rose.
For the simple reason, I can't
believe, that it was me you chose.

Maybe some day, you'll want
to take another quick look.
But please, don't put me with
the others, in your press book.

Mike, this was lovely and a beautiful written poem with lovely impression of adding the water to discover the beauty!! Very lovely...well, I think loving and being in love are so different!! So loving a doll and loving a man are different than being in love with a person..so much more color, bloom, and it never sits in the corner..smile..I enjoyed this poem of yours so much..thanks for the blooming tea!!smile, and I leave you with color of the autumn....much love twomoon

    Well the doll part, is more of an attitude observation. The fflower, whether dried of fresh, is how I would love the perception to be.
    Not tea flowers, but a bouquet of them, with a little flower of mint and a lilly floating on top for sweetness. I have been too, clankity-clank lately so the softer demon of leather and copper is resting where he should, in his own special room and the tea cermony begins. For this review, I light a little Shoyeido, Nokiba which translates to Moss Garden for itslight hearted background music. May only the whisperinings of fine moths, grace your beauty and spirit. Ahhh...

    Two much love, Mike
    I just loved the meditative dedication of this one and will rest now.

    It's about 12:30am and I just got home and plan to kick back for a little bit. My witching hours was filled by being in a confined space and changing the oil to a three hundred pound motor. I like your idea better. lol
    Have a great weekend. With love, Mike

This poems speaks to me. It tells the story of a man chosen to be a lover and then thrown aside. But, the experience was so consuming, he prays to be chosen again.
No spag, beautiful flow. Creepy doll.

    Old, old doll. It was one of my mothers. Thank you very much for your compliments and this review. That's about the gist of this, the water being the friendship in between.
