A Letter for Nigella

[angliholic]

I haven't written a letter for ages and ages,
and this special one is for you!

When you read it,
you'll know
my heart is sincere and fervent,
yet shy as a boy!

If you appear suddenly before me,
like love in the mist
from a far off place,
my tongue will simply tie a thousand knots.

[Hawkman]

The last stanza is excellent, and where the true poetry lies. To be honest, I would dispence with the first two stanzas. You don't need any references to writing or letters as this is contained in the title.

Best, H

I agree with Hawk - the first 2 verses read like an unnecessary prelude to what is a superior verse (in comparison to the opening pair)

Thanks, Hawkman for your excellent feedback!
But without the first two stanza prelude, this scribbling makes no sense at all!

Thanks, Hillwalker, for the comment!
I've read it again without the first two stanza, and it doesn't sound good to me!

This is sweet to the taste. All your stuff is. I suppose I should think it overly sentimental, but somehow, it's not. There is an honesty to this sweetness - "shy as a boy" - that makes it impossible not to like . . . way to go, angli.

YOur hunch is right,
and I haven't got any inspiration until now!

Thnaks, Lumiere, for the sweet feedback that I woke up to, the first thing in the morning!
You really made my day!

Hi Ang
you have noted people trying different genres today. So I challenge you to write a dark poem.
Jerry
ps You are the most continuous positive influence on these pages ( as Skia noted :) ) but go on give it a go. Let us see the dark side of Ang.

In Response to My Friend's Request

Dark clouds constantly appear out of nowhere,
covering the cheerful sun without warning,
and covering the whole world without mercy!

This world has been under vile weather for too long;
is there a need
for me to shed more pitch black upon it or
to caw like a scarecrow?

What is the use of adding fuel to the fire,
like pouring salt
on my wounds and revealing them to the world?
I really wonder!

Dear Ang
you put your ever positive slant onto the genre becrying having to add any darkness to the faded light but still that is my favourite posting of yours. Double dare you to post it as new thread.

Thanks, my friend, Jerry, for the positive comment!

Your wish is my command!
I'll post it later the time after I remodel it a bit!
