\"sunlit newsflash\" (happy poems weekend suite)

As I read this the first thought was the contrast between government statements of all is good and the news that all is bad. One trying to stay in power and sell things to keep the investor happy the other trying to sell news to a public thirsty for hearing of others suffering more than they. Then putting the title with the poem and rereading another meaning that the work week is all bad news and drudgery while the weekend is looked forward to as a place of rest. The lines
kids skate on rainbow-broken sidewalks,
transforming potholes into skip-beats.
Brilliant! the image fits so well with the meaning of the poem. It is how we see things that matters and the news casts these shadows for our mind.

Hello, arqios,
A glowing tribute and birthday wishes from a loving father to his beloved daughter. A seam rich in light runs through each verse, where fireflies hail from, celebrating a never-ending love from child to teenager. Just beautiful.
Wishing you all the very best and your darling daughter a very happy birthday.

Well written, your poem \"Games We Play\" explores the complexities of communication and connection in modern relationships, particularly in the digital age. It emphasizes the tension between the desire for authentic emotional connection and the superficial interactions that often dominate our lives.

\'At your dawn I pin my doubts to linen white, while chords of conflict bruise my fragile calm;\' did it for me. As if out of a dream to be bruised by the reality of me. The poem as a whole is superlative in its composition and beautiful in its portrayal. I love how the stanzas get thicker as they approach the inevitable dawn - the light bearing down on the darkness and the sleeping poet sensing the change of a day anew. Very well done, arqios, accolades galore for this one.
Wishing you all the very best,
Tony.

A fine write, a beautiful poem arqios. I fell in love with the first six lines. The short-order cook in me kept feeling for a couplet at the end of each. Rendering four beautiful poems.

I was taken by the regularity of meter amidst changing rhyme scheme that like waves on the sea came against the shore in differing size. It was the rhythm and varying rhyme that took me most the wording aided in giving a soft and flowing feel to the work and of the lines I think my favorite were:
In fiery fonts I bind our sacred vow,
as embers dim and twilight takes its bow.
Beautiful imagery here. a fave
