Image: Misty web, a misty morning
that preceded a sunny day.(here)
Sunday's Whirligig given words:
world misty everything again beyond beginning
place nowhere silence head talk people
3WW given words:
obedient raspy somber
Poets United's Midweek Motif:
freedom
World of misty mornings clouding the vision
Below a subdued sky moving over warm breasts
Everything with peaceful gestures again in tandem
Of lover's yearnings with lingering warm caress
Freedom of choice beyond feelings of innocence
Beginnings of a relationship destined to take place
Nowhere is it prompted but readily molded in silence
Extending love a chance to head for saving face
Talk of sane young hearts somber in inclination
Of people led into high spirits of wanting to give
Chic of a young lady most obliging and obedient
Mindful for a man's raspy voice may sound combative

ReplyDeleteBeginnings of a relationship destined to take place

These lines are so full of depth! Beautifully penned :D
A little yearning and much can take place as the feelings grow and love does show
ReplyDeletethis is lovely
ReplyDeleteLove this and the way it plays in the mind to work with our choices.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your thoughts on freedom, Hank.
ReplyDelete"Beginnings of a relationship destined to take place
ReplyDeleteNowhere"
Great double meaning here.
The freedom of choice came through beautifully in your first two stanzas. It's amazing that the choice is public and sanctioned, but that doesn't mean that choosing it will be easy. I didn't understand the last stanza, but perhaps it points to the difficulty? It's the obedience and combativeness that confuse me.
ReplyDeleteI was trying to say that a lady so demure and elegant deserves to be treated with care. A raspy voice not considered as menacing to others can appear to be very rough and combative to a sophisticated lady. May need to correct and clear the confusion. Thanks Susan.

I like the direction 'freedom' takes here...
ReplyDeleteFreedom to make choices, good or bad.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully romantic Hank. a pleasure to read.

Powerful poem. Yes, we give away a great deal of the freedom with our own actions...best is to avoid being trapped!! Great lines...

Interesting images. A little worrying too.
ReplyDeleteIt is good we all have freedom of choice.
ReplyDeleteFor some a raspy voice might sound quite sexy. We are all so different.
ReplyDeleteYou won me with the warm breasts.
ReplyDeleteWorld of misty mornings...i could read that line forever...i suppose love is exactly that...long may it last!
ReplyDeleteOur choices are indeed what makes us free.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sanaa. It was that verse which I returned to twice. Especially that part about choices over innocence. Beautiful.
