Superman

 

 

The father of my child

you are,

the hand to the small

of my back

 

the smile

that makes me feel

seventeen again,

whenever the merlot

goes to my head

 

The yin to my yang

you are,

taking me to

exhilarating highs…

 

 

making me feel

seventeen again.

Love can keep us young, I believe. An expressive and loving write, Kelly. Good one!

[Kelly Scheppers]

I believe our children can have the same effect. Thank you, Robert...love the new avatar!

[Robert Haigh]

My new avatar is a self-portrait of sorts. I held a portable camera in my left hand and took a few photos as I played a few open notes. This one came nearest to what I was looking for.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Very nice shot! I always wish I had learned an instrument.

A nice one. Your words are chosen carefully and lovely, tender. Light to read yet with the necessary touch of heart.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I like to think of my poetry as "poetry with a pulse". I am most thankful for the way it makes people feel! Thank you so much, Vanessa!

[V]

That's a good way to put it. You're welcome.

[Jamestown]

Very sweet sentiment:)
A feel good piece of work,
Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

[Kelly Scheppers]

I feel very blessed every day. And I thank God for what I've been given. Thank you for your continued kindness and support!

[Gee]

Really like this, it ain't dressed up, put over with flowery words, it's good ol' fashioned, straight forward truth. I could apply the " man " version of this to my wife.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I am thrilled you enjoyed it, really! Thank you so much for your review!

[C. M. Miller]

Sweet and brief. Like that bottle of Merlot, this poem went down nice and easy and had my head in a pleasant haze.

[Kelly Scheppers]

...hmmm, was it a purple haze? Thank you most pleasantly, my good friend! ; )

[C. M. Miller]

Yes it was, so excuse me while I kiss the sky!

[Kelly Scheppers]

I'm playing my air guitar as I exit! ; )

Beautiful poetry tender and loving.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I am most humbled by your kindness, Rach. Thank you so much!

[Papaya]

I love that feeling, the hand on the small of the back. Such a simple, yet meaningful thing.
Beautiful poem. Start to finish.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Its such a little thing! ... thank you so much!

[Papaya]

You're welcome Kelly!

[J. K. Beach]

I do beleive that the words... "you are,/the hand to the small/of my back" cold be the highest compliment a woman could ever pay a man. As usual you use only a few words here, to paint a picture of a "super" man. Well done Kelly!

[Kelly Scheppers]

As a woman, I think its very complimentary for a man to do that! It speaks volumes, and it just drives me crazy to feel it. It shows adoration, respect and love. Thank you, Jeff, so much!

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

You are always the queen of seduction and I am yet again jealous at the beauty that falls to the paper from your mind. I love the presence that your simple precise thoughts emit.The way it makes me hold my breath, while I read each line. You are amazing once again!

[Kelly Scheppers]

A thousand thank you's...you are just as amazing to me! x

[Einstein Noodle]

"you are,
the hand to the small
of my back"

[Kelly Scheppers]

[Einstein Noodle]
