Eight very good stanzas in a challenging and interesting rhyme scheme - aaba. A very unusual rhyming successfully executed. I enjoyed the whole of your poem but in particular the lines 'to squeeze into the places that hide my reflected thoughts'. Very imaginative write. Regards Dorothy

This is a daring invite to a partner. You offer to show your inner self, what makes you tick, what excites you and drives your thinking. That could be too much for some men. But, to me, it's a beautiful thing; the sort of thing on which great relationships are built. I love the poetry metaphors employed here. They connect not only to the voice, but also to the poet at work here. Love this:
I want your feet to tread,
down deep where poetry's bred.
and
Wear me in your own cliche,
think often of me each day

I love this poem, its appeal, and I'm captivated by it.
It is an open invitation to the feelings of the writer's inner self.. .see what is inside of her...the glow and the pride she has. The last two stanzas drew me more on the appeal: "Here within the confines of a platitudes of defines... you will know me...by my thought waves in design...wear me in your own cliche...never let my dreams wander, gather them from deep and stay," Congratulations.Dom

Good show..
find me, feel me, understand me
get lost in me, enjoy me
dream me, write on my heart
This one is full of lighthearted depth, If that makes sense.
Well done, :-) Carolyn

I detect a few rhymes. Romance is not my strong suit. I have limited experience on writing romantic poetry. never done one intentionally. Does soothes romance and some nice lines speaking of, whatever. I bet you are surrounded by the sea. I bet you got some great weather in the Carribean. I like between hearts of ecstasy. Down through the foggy mirror. That sounds spooky. Exceptional, are you outside enjoying the rays as you create this lovely poem? wackydo

Wonderfully written piece that sums up an innate appreciation for poetry. That appreciation truly is gift. The ability to feel something so personal and then to share it with others...amazing.

Listen, I wanna take ya to sea,
deep into the why of me.
Down through the foggy mirror
into depths that you can't see.
Poetry is the deep down why of you and me...
I love this
God bless

I'm offering boldly to share
what makes me tick and dare,
it's a chance for you alone to see
what keeps me coming to share.

I'm really like a blank page,
you may write upon my cage,
words of hallowed emotions
wage forth on a proverbial stage.

this is beautifully written Pam, I can see why you are a great poet.

well done. Mary
