A lovely chemistry with feelings of regret
The words “back then” itself kept me hooked
Loved these lines inked so intelligently
“Fermented in thrills they became
effervescently fueled,
felt mercurial bliss galvanized to
an exciting level
back then.”

Melancholic tides
sweep slowly
as memory recalls
back then.
And it\'s a big tick from me.

\'Intoxicated
with evocative love,
heady
with rapture, exhilaration
captured
their every need of sensation
back then.
Fermented
in thrills: they became...\'
(I just can\'t help
feeling like these words
encapsulate
that \'blossoming of romance\', sensation
so acutely)
what a Brilliant verse, dear Fay
another beautifully worded
\'modern Ode\': to Love!
thank you

A very descriptive write. Mornings are the best time of day, their existence gives one hope for the joy of living. They let one feel a part of humanity. If winter is waning and one senses Spring approaching, then they are greatly appreciated. Thank you for instilling a ray of sunshine on a rather dreary day here. - Phil A
P.S. - we were dumped on with two feet of snow last night.
P.P.S - I think it was Mel Brooks or Carl Reiner who said, \"I get up in the morning, open the newspaper and read the Obits. If my names not in there then I get dressed.\"

An old English oak; your lovely piece bought out the nostalgia in me, Fay.
My first love in the tree realm, even though the sycamore provided the helicopters and the horse chestnuts provided the conkers.

Words as majestic as that oak tree. Such a loss will be a long time missed.
But that \"gone-tree\'s, ghostly presence\" may remain in one\'s mind.
A bit of sadness expressed in a \"sagely magnificent\" manner.
A solid poem Fay, causing one to ponder our dependence on trees.
Loved it. - Phil A.

A wonderfully written heart-warming homage here Fay.
These mighty trees are a true testament to the immense strength of nature, though sadly, everything has it\'s time to go, but I hope that the tree that replaces it, will be just as magnificent.
Bravo, and I hope that all is well!

There\'s no real match for the magnificence of an Oak, such a nice read dear poet Faye. Sorrows reflections with light on the horizon; heartening to old poets, who dream of renewal as Spring awakens creatures great and small. Stay creative my friend!

Admired the lovely lines
Where so skilfully you stitched nature
And I couldn’t stop feeling as if an elder in family is lost
Who was like oak in the family of small plants
I could see my grandmother in that oak tree
Very well crafted dear Fay

Disturbing reality. I kept reminding my daughter when she was at Uni to be very careful precisely because of this. An important message.

(thank you, dear Fay
you\'ve gone n done it again
inspired me to write, something
I never knew I had in me,
with your beautifully, empathetic poetry,
what a gift you choose to share!)
\'...and then the freefall, begins:
drinks and drugs to forget, leading #
to her endlessly re-enacting, the same mistakes
only
she never had a chance, to realise
sexual emancipation, is nothing to be ashamed of
to begin with!
it was the rest, that messed her up
the
letting her flesh, be used
to give her mind, an escape
from this morosely incessant: self-judgement..
and all this turmoil
plastered, behind her concrete smile
as she walks, back
to that strange home
and hugs her dad, drowning
in his loving eyes
this father of a man, looking
like all those, other men
are they or is he
the false promise: in her life...!\'

Great write with a stark message. Always keep your wits about you. Sadly, as a young girl these days, don\'t allow anyone to buy you a drink, and always get your friends to look out for you. Safety in numbers.
