Thinking of you

 

Thinking of you

 

Frozen in layers of lemon drop frosting

Running for love on the snow covered lawn

Interest in all that this morning does offer

Entering each as if only a song

                           ~

Dancing to dreams on the edge of tomorrow

Asking a question I hope will be true

Pausing a moment to glance your direction

Writing this poem while thinking of you

i like the lemon drop frosting too. lovely write that i can certainly relate to. we just got three inches of snow.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much X. Build me a snowman, will ya? We don't get much snow down here. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Not that it matters, but I like the lemon drop. Anyway, a nice poem.

[Jack...]

Thanks so mkuch KL. Yep, lemon drops are good.

[Mark]

I like this, it's clear and well constructed. the feel of it makes me smile and feel good. The first line would be better IMO, if it was "Frozen in layers of lemon frosting'.

[Jack...]

Thanks Mark, but the syllable count I was using was 11-10-11-10, so dropping the drop would have screwed up the meter I was trying to write.

[Mark]

Maybe sweet lemon frosting ? I dunno lemon drops and frosting are two different images that don't reconcile.

[Jack...]

Mark, have you ever had a lemon drop martini? I have and I can assure you there is such a thing as lemon drop frosting. Look it up my friend.

[Mark]

I'm sure there is. But I'm just providing you with honest feedback. The images conjured by the line felt wrong. I did like the work however.

[Frieda P]

...do you get the feeling that someone hasn't gotten laid in a while, just saying ;-)

[Mark]

It's been a very long while. I'm not being cranky though, just honest.

[Dhaye]

Concise yet sweet and awesome. Your muse always feed your mind to create something like this.
Nice one, Jack. Keep it up!

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Dhaye. I love having your smile on my page.

[Coll Silvermoon]

This is wonderful. Short, but right to the point.

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much Coll for your kindness

[LadySoDivine]

It feels quite refreshing to read once more one of your wonderful poems. It's short, yet sweet and captivating. Excellently done, dear friend. :)

[Jack...]

LSD, so nice to see you again. Thanks for your kindness. How have you been?

[LadySoDivine]

I have been well. Facing certain problems, so I've been away. Been away from my home as well, foolishly thinking I would find sanctuary some place else. But it simply turned out to be worse. But I must move on. Anyway, I see many requests in my inbox, so I'll get right on reading them. Might get some inspiration as well. :)

[Jack...]

Good luck my friend. life is a journey...many ups and downs...but it does level out eventually.

[LadySoDivine]

That I believe. :) That is why we must keep fighting, because everything happens for a reason. Thank you, dear friend.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]
