You had me fizzing and popping along with you, Sharyn!

Having read your script, I loved the reference to your special magic child.

The 'periwinkle day' brought to remembrance a previous 'hot-buttered day' you had written of in your Ode to Me!

What delicious vocabulary your spin your lines with!

Here's a virtual six, my friend!

keep singing! the stanza that starts w/" scents of salt" reminds me a lot of Whitman, the song of myself, particularly how you address the nature w/in and w/out as "hey you". excellent!

Yes OK OK keep your head on! Listen visionary1234, I think this is an excellent write. It is wonderfully exuberant, and it reflects a happy-go-lucky temperament that makes me smile. A philosophical point conveyed with your usual poetic style.
Excellent presentation. Great stuff! Enrique

Hi Sharyn,

Here is some science to go with your great poem.
Looking into a loved one's eyes releases a dosage of Oxytocin, giving us that warm fuzzy feeling. (It's like...a love hormone).

What rhymes with Oxytocin though?

    I certainly did.
    Sorry about the garbled messages, I have a thing on this computer that guesses what I want to say but keeps getting it wrong. I haven't figured out how to turn it off yet lol

One thing I've noticed about your poems is that they DO read well read silently, but mostly out loud. They have a beat for that open mic scene.

This piece truly made me "See" moments in your life. I Think I need to slow down and see moments in my life and try to capture them.

Enjoyed this.

    They'll work either way, Melissa, of course - but I like to think of them musically when I write them.
    Blessings - so glad you enjoyed!

Love is not the big moment of togetherness, but the small acts of being unselfish and caring which reinforces the act; putting the happiness of the other above your own.

Absolutely, stop and smell the roses, take a moment to be grateful for the simple pleasures that are present every moment. It's a beautiful reminder Sharyn and expressed in a very interesting shape, very creative. I could smell the coffee so I'm going to make one now thank you. Stay well, Garth
