peek-a-boo

 

the timid sun,

now curious,

 

now so not,

 

edged quite from

behind a cloud

 

a little, then a lot ...

 

to get a better

look at smiling me,

 

so evidently.

solipsism

or a moment of joy? The animism/anthropomorphism perhaps. Or Chuckles delight. I prefer the later. cheers, Jess

envy your serenity, i must say. the sun edging from behind the clouds, and you don't wonder about this or that worldly event, you just appreciate it! i can count on two fingers those are able to have that simplistic, unquestioning, poetic appreciation: no one, and no one. very calming, nice poem.

you never fail to impress me, Chuck

for that I thank you! :) Anybody else get the feeling this Seven Child Chick's a bot? Watch out if you start talking to her, next thing you know she'll be asking you to send money to Nigeria. Mark W.

what the hell do u mean "a bot"

if your an advocate and founder shouldn't u b an example u have never met me, im a human being, and excuse me if my mind and beauty offend u but i think its rude 2 tell people to be careful to talk 2 me i thought ur supposed to encourage individuality and obviously u haven't looked at my profile i live in OREGON and if ur supposed to be one of the leaders maybe you should act like 1. mark we r here to critique poetry not people get it straight buddy!!! ***Lovely am I*** Valene

So You Know Seven . . .

My impression of you, personanally, is that you are smart and provocative. A great combination in my opinion.

I think you are a touch sensitive

seven. We give each other copious amounts of sh*t on this website, because we are all friends. If this is an issue for you I can not include you, per your wish. I have no offense to your self proclaimed mind and beauty. Thanks for sharing :) God Bless, Mark W.

That

Of course is your opinion darling, and well yes if we were friends i would've laughed but we rn't so i thought it 2 be a touch inappropriate. U will never know people truly unless u open your mind. I've always given some1 a chance to show or tell me who they r and 'judging at first sight' is, in my opinion, something we would do in high school.LOL! ***Lovely am I*** Valene

I think you should look at your comment, as you are the one being judgemental. Regardless I am ending my discussion of this and taking the high road. This should belong to Chuck's poem, not any personal spats. Mark W.

No I spat

To the death, but i agree this should belong to the poet not the spatters lol. I don't hate you mark i absolutely adore our moments of argument we are critics aren't we??? haha (ooops! you made me chuckle) ***Lovely am I*** Valene

I Appreciate

I appreciate the positive encouragement. It goes a long way with me. Just one thing, though: All this time I've thought I was the beautiful one! Chuck ô¿ô
