Loved the atmosphere of this. Just beautiful. Those long 'a' sounds throughout are just delicious. (shade/aubade/serenade/persuade/unmade/escapade/etc). Aubade is a new word for me - perfect in the context - for your poem is truly a dawn serenade. Wish I had a six left for it, but alas...

A 'breadcrumb' extravaganza of excellent alliteration, assonance and consonance, Michael.

Your usual very gifted unique style to get our lazy brain-cells working, and even if they come to no conclusion, it's a great exercise.

Food/'taste' mixed with sensuality equals a hit!

Top free verse, my friend.

Cheers, Ray.

Em, is that what it like to kiss the ruby red lips of a perfect ten? One could only imagine. Well, one could also read this poem and know. Well done, makes a man want to seek out a woman just like this.

Reconciled, this is excellent! Chris Isaac always sets the mood :)

But back to the words, free form is great for painting so much in very little time. The back story here is deep, the future is lit but the now is fascinating...

Well done on this one. Bookcased for safe keeping.

Afraid I had to go to the dictionary for" aubade" but was quickly back on track. I'm particularly, well not "envious" so much as envious of your last four lines. The"...wild honeys sound like taste", with out the possessive apostrophe play on honey. Damn that's grate. lol

    lol....I really dont do it on purpose. I'm a natural nerve grater you see...my sense of apostrophe never made it out of elementary science...aha....thanks man....love Michael
reply by Slythytove2 on 10-Sep-2016
    I went and looked up "apostrophe"thinking it might not be totally out of character for you to play with that, and surprisingly found a secondary meaning. It can also be used as" a digression in the form of an address to someone who isn't present" I guess like an "aside", so at least it didn't go over my head. Thanks too.

I have to admit that most of this was too far above my head, but it was gently romantic sounding in my ear. Wish I understood, but it sounds like someone is happy with just the breadcrumbs. (??)

A very well-written love poem. When we are in love with someone we are happy with the crumbs they give us, and will never demands for more than they willing to give.

    lol...now that is funny....Hi Sandra...-smile-
    ah -headshake-...no we're not. in fact the kind of love that satisfies...is never satisfied...it always wants more.

    really this poem is about the power of the right words and the poet's ability to place you in them. sshhwwwoo...I'm just sitting here watching airplanes...take off...and fly....aha...love Michael
