TAKE ME AWAY

A lighthearted look at the pressures of today.

TAKE ME AWAY

Take me on a picnic

Take me to the park

Take me for a moonlight drive

All cozy when its dark

Take me on vacation

Take me to a play

Take me out to the ballgame

Take my time if you can't stay

Take a leave of absence

Take me at my word

Take me at face value

Take everything you've heard

Take me into your confidence

Take me in your arms

Take my friendship proffer

Take me with my charms

Take me almost anywhere

Take all things not slanted

Take a break...now I must speak

DON'T take me for granted!

Such a clever use of a common phrase in so many different ways. Yes relationships are all about give and take and if we don't spend the time in the taking there is no relationship. I loved the last line:
"DON'T take me for granted!" another key element. So well said in a flowing meter and verse.

Oh this one is fantastic, Sharon. Lyrical verses and the fourth one is so very intimately romantic. The last verse shows your inner strength. No one should ever take another for granted. Loved this one. Lydi**

Now, that is too much to ask from him; the genie can only fulfill 3 wishes. Just kidding.
Simple requests, bit a serious trust issue at the end.
I love it!

[Miss Sharon]

Love your perspective on this write Sami...thank you. ~Sharon

Life is about give and take. There are many takers and many who take advantage of the good nature of others.
You have given your readers a beautiful poem to contemplate this morning Sharon. Have a wonderful day dear poet.

A wow of a finish! Your meter really gives punchy vigour to this almost but not quite love poem Sharon. Seems rather like a duel: 'step away, listen, take seriously and.. watch for my ongoing stand. Witty words, tongue in cheek:

'Take a leave of absence
Take me at my word
Take me at face value
Take everything you've heard'

[Miss Sharon]

What a lovely review! Thank you ever so much. ~Sharon

[emmajoygreen]

Sometimes we need to be reminded.. on both sides of the big divide!

The poetry sound like my grandchildren. Always needing to go somewhere. Dear Sharon, I did like dance of words. I want to go anywhere too. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

It is said some are givers and some are takers. This one is addressed to the latter, but in a nice way. He is invited to take many things, mainly her, to things she wants to do. Still, there is one no-no: Don't ever take her for granted. Picky woman.

[Miss Sharon]

Thanks so much my friend for your lovely review! ~Sharon

Time spent together can be more valuable than expensive jewels and as your last line clearly says, taking someone for granted won't lead to any road with a happy ending at its destination.
Time can make the poorest rich, with memories of happy times that didn't cost the earth, but can make memories you would need dynamite to remove.

[Miss Sharon]

Awww! Thanks so much Lorry for your lovely review. ~Sharon

I think your poem is a delightful and playful exploration of the many ways that love and affection can be expressed. You use a clever repetition of the phrase "take me" to convey the narrator's desire for connection and companionship, and the different scenarios you describe are imaginative and fun.

Your poem seems to suggest that love is about more than just grand romantic gestures - it's also about the little things, like going on a picnic or taking a moonlight drive. It's a reminder that relationships are built on shared experiences and mutual respect, and that it's important to appreciate and cherish the people in our lives.

Wowser! Thank you for a very nice review. You are appreciated. ~Sharon
