 U l t i m a t e Po e t e s s^✨

༺-~✶~-༻

Her ink vibrates in universal amplitude,

with such sure vibrant force pure ecstasies exude …

releasing with each graceful sweep of every stroke,

her words resound upon the page, as tho’ they'd spoke.

-~✶~-

Her flowing mane, as ebon as the Stygian night,

or golden as soft-textured braids, corn-silken bright.

I’ve seen her auburn waves, as hot as Hades’ fire;

or, lustrous brunette strands, that spark ardent desire.

-~✶~-

Oh, passion’s touch, awake unto life’s fervent dreams,

that evermore, desires and wantings merge as streams.

From every heartsong pours her sweet elixir’s voice,

eternal rapture ~ captured … aye, you'll have no choice.

-~✶~-

The shape she takes, it may be lithe or slightly slim …

might be, she’s strong or stout; perhaps, or fairly prim.

She’s every woman who has bravely shared her heart,

learned how to charm us with her wonders from the start.

-~✶~-

Each smitten bard in every land and realm worldwide,

has surely yearned to have her writing by his side …

impressive with her graceful wisdom’s keen surprise,

indulge him with the magic in her spark’ling eyes.

-~✶~-

If Free Verse, Sonnet, Villanelle, or lovely Prose,

it matters not what kind of poem she bestows;

for, when she blends her heart and soul into her ink,

it's hers you'll be ~ when she signs with a knowing wink*

[Audrey M.]

This poem is so lovely it plays like a melody.
So tender and silky, it speaks to me.
How many hearts have you stolen or left throats swollen?
My dear man you are a rare gift with song,
Please don't keep me not waiting long
For another chance to hear your voice
Please understand I have no choice.
I'd love to dance to your tune
In the hour of midnights first June.
(Ok hardly is it advice to give or comment made. But I had to answer in this way, for to read your words is to dance in celebration to a man who celebrates women. Thank you for sharing

[Richard🖌]

With a broad "Thank you" heart smile, Dear Audrey 🌸

Sighhh! Such a compellingly stirring review you've gifted this doting poem and its graciously pleased author.
You certainly know how to catch a bard's attention, charming him with a delightfully sweet, warmly imaginative verse of your own.
Seems you celebrate men every bit as enjoyably as I do women.

For answering in the way you have, please, accept my warmest hug of thanks to thee, Dear Poetess! ⁓ Richard 🍃

This is deep but yet very sweet. I get a good impression that you’re a ladies man just by the style of this writing. I think you’re here to explore people as individuals as well as their writings. You’re a unique writer and I don’t think this website would be the same without you. You definitely need to stick around and not disappear. You are the life of the party. I can sense the extrovert in you and it’s rising. I can sense a lot of personal growth shifting between the lines in this piece. Hence the image of the woman at the beginning of the poem, she reminds me of growth and intellectual development. I like every detail in this. I can definitely tell that you have enjoyed yourself through out the making of this writing. I look forward to reading more.

[Richard🖌]

Alluringly spake, Dear RE, with such genial warmth🥂

Talk about enjoyment; I very much enjoy your somewhat blush-worthy praise and rousingly insightful take on Me, my value, and deeper intentions … sighhh*
Um(?), I'm not so sure about being a
"ladies' man," per se, Dear Lady-Poet, but I am more than positive I adore and highly regard women, each a lovely flower in their own unique way … as your own soft turns of phrase whisper suggestively, even evocatively pure.😏
And, how very right you are … I tremendously enjoyed composing this homage to all you enthralling Poetesses.

I cannot imagine a more gracious or charmingly captivating review than yours … my warmest embrace of appreciation, RE ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Kathy Mc Cathy]

[Richard🖌]

G'Day, M'Lady🥂

How wonderfully warm and special, Dear Poetess, your gracious words dance upon the page to rise-up and flow sooo smoothly into a bard's gratefully hopeful heart.

Yes, Ana, a truly unique poem, especially for You.
Bless you, as you've truly blessed me! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[amazingly coincidental; especially, because it's been such a long time since we've touched: at the moment you were reviewing this, I was reading yours] Hm? 🤔

[Ana B.]

I'm glad to hear from you and I really hope you are doing well in these times Richard :)

A stunning read...You are truly gifted

[Richard🖌]

I thank you ever-so warmly, Dear Martina🥀

It is easy to write such a piece when there are so many "stunning" lady-poets to muse a smitten bard's willing ink. ; )

Cozy hugs 'n grateful smiles! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Shelley Warner]

Aww, that was such a sweet and kind poem. You are so good at expressing appreciation for our writings.

[Richard🖌]

Beaming here, Shelley! 😊

Well, I truly had some great inspiration to choose from in writing this one. ; )
To receive such sweet accolades from a poetess on your level, gifts the heart a grateful glow.

Thank you, Shelley, for thinking so highly of me …as I do You.
Hugs! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Zoe Richardson]

Cleverly done. But don't forget... poets are tortured souls. We are broken angels with hard bought wisdom. Try not to make us too perfect!

[Richard🖌]

Ahhh, Dear Lady Zoe 🌾

How right you truly are … I should have included your sentiments in the verses of this most ingratiating verse … and, having said that, I should have also included how all of that you've so generously shared adds so much more charm, eloquence, and wisdom to those endless attributes poetesses already possess.
Thinking on it, expressing every aspect of all you amazing lady-poets, this poem could easily become a tome of verses.

I do, indeed, think you're perfect, Zoe … because of it all!
Thank you most warmly for reading my about You! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Zoe Richardson]

You silver tongued charmer! That was the nicest compliment a Southern lady could receive.

[Richard🖌]

Then, magically, across the mystic miles the feelings in my words were warmly felt and gently embraced.😌

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

This is a wonderful and imaginative poem. I really enjoyed reading this work.

[Richard🖌]

With grateful thanks, Señor Carlos 🍷

Your words of expressed praise and enjoyment are so very much appreciated.
I'm pleased, too, you chose this particular poem to read, review, and to share in celebrating our lovely Lady-Poets.

"Salute!" ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Firebird]

This made me smile. Light- hearted and kind. Well written. Who wouldn't want to write by your side if they get compliments along the way

[Richard🖌]

Beautifully laid, Dear Lady-Poet 🥀

By virtue of your warmly caressing words of praise, a delightfully fantasized cowrite, you've softly kissed a smile into my heart.

Most gratefully yours! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Firebird]

You're welcome. Keep smiling in your heart.
