Greenhouse Effect

To me
You are
The heating sun,
Giver of life,
Shower of warmth.

I am
To you
The iceberg
Melting.

Greenhouse Effect.

Oh Dennis, what a wonderfully penned metaphoric write this is! It's beauty took my breath away as I read! You express your feelings so sensually and compliment what you say in relation to your loved one, with your opposite reaction/response. So concise, your sharply defined images are so appealing to the reader Dennis. A beautiful flawless, brilliant, resplendent poetic gem - with such a satin smooth flow and delicious, effortless expression. A joy to read! Thank you so very much for sharing Dennis.

I wish I could say so much in so little words. You have a great talent. Xena Quote: Science is what you know; philosophy is what you don't know. - Bertrand Russell
