A very appealing Senryu, though not composed as traditional Senryu, is equally charming. You have captured the warmth of someone so special superbly in just fourteen words, Richard. Am thrilled that this gem took 2nd Place, but it really should have been chosen in 1st Place, it is so beautiful and the words are complemented by a photo as stunning as the one you have so expertly painted. Thank you for sharing, Richard. So enjoyed reading your delightful poems today. Will be back again...

Ahhh, Dear Lady Marie 🍷

By virtue of the sweet tastes of your caressing charms, graciously captivating interpretations, and warmly expressed appreciation, what a joyfully delightful thrill you turn sharing into.

It is my honor to write for You, Marie …
a most wonderful weekend to thee! ⁓ Richard🖌

[Marie]

Most welcome always and a very wonderful weekend to you also, dear poet...

[lightsong]

always the blondie eh? lovely words of love and adoration Richard, the font and style, how the photo appears atop Your poem are wonderful along Your theme.

[Richard🖌]

Thank you so very warmly and appreciatively, Lady Ghoumwah 🌺
You always gift the sweetest breath of encouragement and beauty.

Thank you, Dear Poetess, for adorning my day with your most lovely smile! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[lightsong]

I truly prefer and like it better the way Your poem was before this, the one photo atop it makes it more beautiful and special.

[Richard🖌]

Thanks for taking another bite, Lady Ghounwah!
I thought it would be a good idea to let everyone know that "You⁓" means ladies of various flavours. ; )

[lightsong]

still, first it's not a secret that most men like the blond hair, second even though I know of Your good intentions I prefer it better the way it was before, and Your choices for pictures is not very good, sorry to say that because for example the one beneath Your poem is for a Lebanese singer a volgare one in my opinion, Haifa Wehbe.

[lightsong]

it's very OK to love the blond hair, and Your choice for the blondie girl is more charming, she is naturally beautiful, not like the other photos.

[Richard🖌]

Always,
I'm happy to oblige a lady's wishes … in all ways. ; )

[Richard🖌]

And,
I don't know about other men, but I've found that deliciousness comes in all flavors. 😋

[lightsong]

well, I know You do.

[Richard🖌]

Seems, you do know me quite well, eh? ;)

[lightsong]

if a man can't or unable to "stick" into one flavor appreciation that one flavor can hold all the rest, if he can't or unable to treat his woman like she is the only woman in the world, better to leave her than to make her less than whom she is. just an opinion.

[Richard🖌]

Well,
To be honest, it's only a illustration picture for the poem, and not my favorite choice, at all.
If I had my way, they'd be a far different picture above this piece. ; )
I kept thinking about your expressed preference, and decided to comply with Your choice.
I always appreciate your thoughts, Ghounwah … thank you ever-so warmly⁓*

[lightsong]

Oh, thank You for taking my own preference seriously, of course I love it as it is now, but what I meant in my comment above is not linked to the photo, but in general, I hope I cleared the misunderstanding now. so generous of You Richard 🍃 :)

[Richard🖌]

I am always happy to oblige a lady of your elegance. ☺️

[lightsong]

Thank You ~* :)
