I'm sorry it took so long to get to this Missy...
So much more? Are you the only lucky girl in the world who wasn't lied to on line?
I always figure first impressions are lies, they are the persona that someone is trying to sell you, in person or on line.
It's the lasting impression that matters...the person you get to know.

JT, it is not by design that my reply is so late. I have been struggling with a knee issue that had to have surgery. Happy to say I am on the mend :)
Thank you for this lovely review and again I apologize for the lateness of my reply.
Always justafan,
Missy

Hey, beautiful girl.
Sorry about your knee. I hope your 'mend' is a quick and fruitful one.
I'm on a cane myself--don't like surgery.

Hi Missy
I have been away quite a long spell and will be for the next several months. We are selling our home of 18 years and moving to southern Utah, where it's always warm and NO STAIRS. The stairs are killing us. Your poem reeks of a longing for a love that is in both your hearts. This really moved me heart

Comment from Ric Myworld
Cyber romance, if I were a betting man, I'd bet that only a very small percentage of the people met online are anything like the person they come across to be. I have only met one person online in all my years, and that experience I'll never forget. Thanks for another fine poem. :-)

Hello Missy:
Cyber Romance-- an interesting topic. I think this way of connecting works great for some folks. You did an outstanding job with this piece. Excellent use of words. The picture has an interesting 3D / holographic quality. Loved the Michael Bublé piece Thanks for sharing and have a great afternoon.
Wishing you the best,
Bill~

Hi, Missy. Long time since I've seen your writing or been able to find time to take a look. this is a very good idea you have in conjunction with the other members. I especially liked these lines:
"Mind firing on all
Cylinders at once
Will you like
the "real" me?"
Bravo! Good job. (ps. I would love a review of my latest post when you have time. (wink) Bob

Hi Missy
Congratulations on getting into the spirit of this and getting everyone else on board.
I'm glad you didn't get into the darker side like me, but in the first few lines it could have gone either way:
harbingers of romance,
Or disaster?
By the end you have checked him out good and proper and the surprise is that's way better than the image you'd built in your own head. It must sometimes work like that.
I like how you use those questions to move the narrative along. It just gives a nice mental switchup for the reader before moving on. I think free verse needs devices like that to give the poem organisation and direction. Terrific image chosen to go along with the steamy boudoir colour range. Well done, you done us proud.

Comment from Sankey
Sounds good. Might do as you say. let me guess this was an online romance or writing about one anyway? Need to get a bot more generous with the reviewing rewards mate. I don't care as I have heaps already seeing I been reviewing and reviewing and not spending it on Posts of stuff.

Comment from Jay Squires
A series of zeros and ones
Pixels on a computer screen
[I had begun to think you had consulted with "Cogitator" here on FS to learn about zeros and ones. Till now he'd been the expert on that.
This is a clever poem, though, connecting the computer tech-eze of what underlies computers to computer dating. But it was a good, smooth transition, my dear, ending with a twist the reader feels, at first, is the proof that computer dating is, at best, a disappointment, when it's success becomes the understatement.
Well done, Missy

Hi, Punkin!! (bet ya never been called that before :))
Thanks for always leaving a smile on my face. If internet romances could start like us...friends and then transition into that hot side of romance...woo-hoo, a lot more would survive a face to face meeting!! You are a "real" sweetheart, Jay.

You are so funny, Missy. Thanks for casting warmth and light on this site.
Comment from fastdigits
Like always, a great choice of art work
that denotes the topic of your writing
which swirls down the page, first in
anticipation and then the questioning
are you doing right, and then the culmination
in your romantic rendezvous, where he turns
out to so much more than you ever dreamed.
Well done, Yea, and you win once againLOL
