Amber'd Reminisces

In dark amber twilight recesses

     folded over and safely tuck'd

memories mull like sweet dandelion's tangy

 

wine

          of burgundy'd evenings bliss

    spice of nectar'd afternoons

            morning's satiated stares

I beckon these recollections

    on tempestuous 

rainy days raging such as this,

        reminiscing when we danc'd 'tween raindrops

Wow! I'm so behind reviews, Frieda. Glad I have this in my list. This is so beautiful. It's so obvious I'm so fascinated with any piece with the concept of rain. And I love the music, too. I'm going to download it for my own copy (the you tube music video) so thank you so much for the share. No wonder you got high rating here.
Bravo!

[Frieda P]

Oh thanks so much Dhaye, so glad you enjoy'd this one, rain does seem to inspire!

I really do enjoy your wine themes as you blend them so perfectly into a romantic poem. I love the rain, it's so sensual and your final two lines are simply divine, especially "reminiscing when we danc'd 'tween raindrops". Wonderful writing. Justine :)

[Frieda P]

Thanks Justine, what's better than wine and rain. ;-)

"... reminiscing when we danc'd 'tween raindrops" ~ little, tiny wing'd things in that "dark amber twilight." That certainly puts a different complexion on it, doesn't it, Frieda? Nicely done.

100 curving lamposts

[Frieda P]

Sweet Tam, thanks...curving lamp posts, are you outside my place?

[Tam Warink]

..that lurking in the darkness flees from the those on silent wings watching over thee.

[redzone]

Frieda, thre is nothing like dancing between raindrops, it's special when you are in sync with someone in this way.. another favorite for me is when you dance and get totally soaked but never caring because you know how wonderful those moments are.. you do write wonderfully romantic poems Frieda hopefully this is more than memories... ~~redzone

[Frieda P]

Ahh buttering me up, since you left such a stellar review, I guess I'll have to let you off the hook for today....sigh, alas only memories, but very sweet ones indeed.

[redzone]

sorry they are only memories Frieda. about today, I was there until the flowers I brought you wilted and my fingers got cold and my umbrella had a leak so I was soaked. AND, most importantly, you and I were not dancing... and then, to learn you married my best man.. after crying some, I thought you would be happier with vinnie (he is a personal friend of Lydi's) and you happy, made me feel better..

[Frieda P]

I've heard a lot of lame excuses but those take the wedding cake curt!

[redzone]

I didn't get to eat any wedding cake Frieda... you and vinnie had the cake, I had only willted flowers and heart ache... sniff..er... any of that cake left over Frieda

[Frieda P]

That'll learn ya for next time............

[redzone]

hey everyone, she said "the next time" , there is hope for me yet.. oh be still my fluttering heart... er.. love you Frieda... ;0)

[Frieda P]

You better run hon, here comes Vinnie haha ;-)

[redzone]

it's ok Frieda, what are knee caps when it comes to love.. think Pepe le Puew here... ;0)

[Frieda P]

Hahaha, you have a much better sense of humor than old Vin here....

[redzone]

ooops ok pepe le puew was a bit over the top... so Frieda, Vinnie, I promise to behave, no more.. can I blame it on my evil twin?? that redzone is too damn pushy, I will keep him in his cage.. promise

You're the best, Frieda -- always writing such beautiful, heartfelt poem that hold so much emotion. It is lovely when we have memories from our past that are stuck in our minds. I loved the wording and imagery.

Good job.

Splendid and masterful wordplay, Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Pryde, coming from a wordsmith such as you, means a lot.

[Pryde Foltz]

Ahh…….me flattered.

[Frieda P]

Not flattery, truth. :-)

We always remember the one who danced us into tomorrow...the one who made us think dancing in the rain was an adventure. Your reminiscing here is poignant and so very romantic, Frieda. Lovely. Lydi**

[Frieda P]

They get us with those drunken skies all the time...thanks so much Lydi.

[Kylie]

[Frieda P]
