    Poem Commentary

    This and that often need each other.

    Counterpoints

    Found as I am of cute freckles

    I like suntan much better

    Fond as I am of quick email

    Nothing’s surpassed the love letter

     

    Fond as I am of my import

    Wish Detroit would build my car

    Fond as I am of a lover’s moon

    I’ll still wish upon a star

     

    Fond as I am of daisies

    It’s the jasmine that melts my heart

    Fond as I am of chocolate cake

    I eat last the frosted part.

     

    Fond as I am of hot showers

    I prefer two in a bubble bath

    Fond as I am flirty winks

    I wait for the musical laugh

     

    Fond as I am of pizza

    I’d still rather wash it down

    Fond as I am of the circus

    My favorite’s always the clown

     

    Fond as I am of flying

    I breathe relief after we land

    And fond as I am holding your gaze

    I’d rather slow fondle your hand.

     

    Fond as I am of travel

    Best friends are best close to home

    Fond as I am of my hairbrush

    I always will pocket a comb.

     

    Fond as I am of creating

    Lines to be read by a friend

    Something inside’s anticipating

    To arrive at some smashing good end.

    This was an absolute pleasure to read, Harv. And the end was definitely 'smashing good' ;) Thanks so much for making me smile this morning.

    Harvy, this is so cute and unique of you, I love it! I can relate to the bubble bath of two verses the shower. Much more delightful when enjoyed by two, this liquid with bubbles in. Maybe a star or two floating and I will wish on mine and catch one, you the same? Awesome write my friend!! Hugz

    How did I manage to leave out the super=ego? I'll have to try harder . . . yes, that is what I should have done before now. LOL Harv

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

    Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
