Her picture shone out from my screen
The vulnerable poetic queen
Who tells some of the things she's seen
And keeps the rest inside
She'll tell us of her hope and fear
Look closer if you want to hear
The stormy winds of yesteryear
Are what she keeps inside
She won her share of bloody fights
Long working days and lonely nights
When trying to put the world to rights
She has no need to hide
Her words dance on a floor of hurt
The venue from her playful flirt
The children pulling at her skirt
Keep filling her with pride
She touches all who pass her way
Hung up on every word she'll say
I can't wait for her next foray
Into her hearts delights

A lovely tribute, it seems, to a another poet, wordsmith, someone who shares of herself through experiences and words. Beautiful.
Thank you pop
She shows just enough to keep it interesting
If she is worth that fanciful dance then that Horace Greeley quote applies with fanfare. Do we have a role model to bring her into our arena? I’d say Marylyn as her charisma despite still united in attention quest but Ms. Monroe was without child, perhaps Mariah but she doesn’t time slumming, Jackie O fits many aisles but her magnetism didn’t display enough for public touch, so I offer Kim Badunger as those who knew to stay away stil didn’t ?
They deserve what they got then
If they knew better
Thank you Bobby
Always a joy to read your views
I was reaching. My response indicates appreciation and instead of “great poem” each time I opt for flavor.
Tasty
Weird how these poem things link from afar and really links like a friendship quicker and closer than imagined.
Totally agree
Great minds think alike
And
Fools seldom differ

I call when asked
What a dogs have
Most assume tails and toss anyway
That’s funny.
I see you're getting all romantic on me! Honestly, this is beautiful! You're obviously able to see past the picture on the screen!!! This is more my drift!!! Loved it!!!!
Never judge a book by it's cover
Hopefully nothing wrong with a little romance now and then
Many thanks LIZ
That's right! Oh I love it!!! All of it!!!
So kind and supportive
Always grateful
Who's the lucky lady that has tickled your fancy? lol OMG this is INCREDIBLE!! When you write about such things it's like your pen must dance off the page. So interesting to be able to read your rhymes. I really can't tell you what I loved most! To your poetic queen! x
Who indeed Christina
She done more than tickle it

And I'm a lucky guy to receive such a kind comment
Thank you
Much obliged
Peto why thank you lol 🤣 on a serious note I'm getting to know you and I'm guessing you are not such a fan of free verse but I am a huge fan of rhyming rhythm and this is wonderful. Biggest of hugs this Friday evening my dear Peto. Who ever she be I reckon she is your muse! 💖
I'm a fan of it
Just got rhyme in my head a lot
So that's how it comes out
You're welcome Teddy
Hard to resist you on that roof
Many thanks
Ah yes I'm pretty irresistible, if I do say so myself. lol 🤣
So many classic movie icons and even a modern Angelina Jolie who is multidimensional and interesting, as a woman and actress -but Peto’s poems have the sophistication of finding multiplicity in any woman …
What a wonderful thing to say
Thank you very much
I am humbled by such a kind comment
Means a lot to me to hear that
Much obliged

Your words seem so in-tune with.. like a behind the scenes look at your muses life.
