This is an unconventional love poem with a song-like quality and a cadence which trips off the tongue satisfyingly. There is a peculiarity about it which makes you think a little beyond the superficial; a hint of the abstract, as though it is a dream of perfection which would apparently be unattainable - but it retains a sense of truth, appearing to describe someone that is very real. It cannot be determined why this is, but the impression is there all the same. The use of the word "wright" is intriguing, as though this love has been crafted, or is the perfect craftsmanship.. And "...growing, knowing die.." is quite a mysterious phrase, which also leaves one with a feeling rather than a definition. The "wright" and "knowing die" together, though, create an overall sense of a perfectly-formed life, where understanding of existence itself is ultimately realised through the love of this ideal one.
Interesting work, with a smart technique, and unusual symbolic, faint abstract style which paints a picture that is a little more than the average poem of its genre.
Like Dinesh said, the intro is priceless - lol :D
It's an easy going and heartwarming write and aren't you "oh so sweet" with "Perfect day when you’re around" :P
The only thing that stands out for me and I do not quite understand given the sweet, loving undertone of the poem is, "knowing die" :S
"I would have written a Novel...but I had to mow the lawn" - Haha :P This is the best line of the whole poem :P
A feel-good poem. More like the blues from earlier musicals. Reminded me of Motown record's classics by the Supremes, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder and the Jackson 5. Since I hardly know about the others, I'll quote a song done by the J5 :
"You better get it together
Or leave it alone
If you don't want my lovin'
I'll be gone
Get up, get up, get up
Get up off your high horse girl
Think what you're doin', doin'
Get up off your high horse girl
Think what you're doin', doin'
(I'm spinnin' around)
I'm spinnin' around
On your merry-go-round
You got me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy
Get it together
Or leave it alone
If you don't want my lovin'
I'll be gone
Now, now baby
Get it together
or leave it alone
If you don't want my lovin'
I'll be gone
Get up off your high horse girl
Think what you're doin', doin'
Get up off your high horse girl
Think what you're doin', doin'
I can't stand all this confusion
All this shuckin' and jivin'
Keeps puttin' me down, down, down
Get it together
Or leave it alone
If you don't want my lovin'
I'll be gone
Think girl, what you're doin'
Throwin' this heart of mine all away
Oh, think girl, you know I love ya
To keep a love like mine is hard this day
Get it together
Or leave it alone
If you don't want my lovin'
I'll be gone"

Enjoy hearing it. This is a wonderful write. Soothing in some sense :)
Beautiful. I love the rhyming patter in this. Just wondering would it "Just Right"? or did you intentionally put "Just Wright"? Anyways, great write though. Love this one, too.
Like to hang out with other writers and see what's what. Have met a lot of good people on this and other sites through the years. Decided to come back and do a little posting and reading. Hit me up i.. more..
