seeing past my rage
he cupped my face
for a kiss

ahh, the perfect man

I want to know what the narrator did next?

[Cherrie Palmer]

Yell for sure the yelling stopped lol

[Cherrie Palmer]

And thank you:)

Nice work Cherrie and we are in that 3 line zone, although whether you wanted to call this a free form Haiku is entirely up to you. An excellent sense of suspense either way - what happened next ? Almost filmic in the implications.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Ya know, I do write alot of haikus but just let this one happen on its own.
Thank you for letting this poem ask you and then. :)

great start of a poem . keep it up great work

But will she retaliate with a slap to his face? A definite yes......if this was in a script of The Bold and The Beautiful. Depends on the depth of that rage and how good a kisser, I suppose. ⚘

[Cherrie Palmer]

Yes the who and the why is an important variable. :)
This poem should come with a disclaimer: Caution ⚠️ this should not be tried at home.

[JE Falcon]

As I absorbed this, I conjured at least three past memories; two were warm, one was not. --- Thanks for the visions.

[Cherrie Palmer]

:) my pleasure

Ah, short, sweet, tugs the heart and fires up the mind. Tyfs

[Cherrie Palmer]

A kiss diffuses the future
Cupping the rage in surprise
To see

[Cherrie Palmer]

I never get mad at Matthew but I am Irish and can get worked up about things :)

[William Michael Reeves]

Never? What would he say to that? I wanted to get face in there too but liked it as is. That's what came to mind after reading yours was the surprise when you got the kiss .

such a sweet little write here

[jacob erin-cilberto]

that could be the best time to swoop in...she is taken aback,
and can only react with a calming smile.

Thank you 😊
Love and trust is a powerful combo and lead the one and aid the other

[Chris Shaw]

This brevity played out before my eyes in slow motion. Could picture this scene so well Cherrie. A kiss at the right moment can make such a difference to the receiver. A kiss can be so healing.

[Cherrie Palmer]

[Chris Shaw]
