Our First Encounter

Meeting for the first time

Cautiously I open my front door

Immediately our eyes lock

Excitement washes through me

Smiling you arise

Greeting me warmly

Feeling at ease

We both sit

Coyly

Speak

Reviews

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i especially like the ending....both being coy at the same time...there is that feeling of a balanced encounter--matching flirtations...

a breezy kind of poem, about initial sensations when two people meet and connect.

[EileenMarie]

Of all the men I have dated since my divorce he was the best. Unfortunately life got in the way and that was the end. It was a great while it lasted and I will never forget the first day we met.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i understand this...since my first divorce, life has gotten in the way of relationships that might have worked out...or maybe i helped life do that...we certainly play it safe...and get overcautious...

I just read `ABOUT ME. To say that I am impressed is an understatement.
I will just write about me----so----Tell me ALL ABOUT YOU.
I am 94 years old, a retired Police Sgt.
I have seven kids (all grown---obviously).
My mind is no longer young, but my body does not know that.
Why tolerate the insulting remarks left by readers. You are a very nice
person with a nice family---- so , what is their problem ?

I am fine with all reviews! All helpful if you see between the lines. My ex was a cop btw, but not a nice one and not a good one. My poetry has helped me navigate my emotions through various stages of life since my divorce. I just wish I could do something more with them somedays.

[Eagle Cruagh]

Th;anks for the nice answer to my review.
Sorry abnut the ex......Would not say I was good, but my wonderful wife passed on
three years ago. She was the light of my life . Guess we were just fortunate.
We never had a cross word----- lov e her to this day. Wish that more people
had the rhapsod of or life.
Thanks again.

I am hopeful I will find that too! I haven't given up hope and you just reminded me it really exists, true love that is. I am sorry your wife passed on but so happy she was the love of your life. How nice it is to have grandchildren to bestow your wisdom upon them. 94 years young you are!! That is just awesome :)

[Eagle Cruagh]

I am most greatful for you;r understanding.
Being 94 has its problems---- But still can appreiate
a beautiful woman.
The same

You write exactly like I do... you b***h.

You ended this one better than I could have though.

I like these words that come out of you ... I like the utilitarian writing

I like the lack of rigid form

Jazz... writing is nice when its jazz like. To me anyway.

I wrote a poem about the first time I masturbated. It's a lot like this, ends a little different of course. I'm not being crass when I say that. My jerk off poems are some of my best.

[EileenMarie]

I got the feeling you liked my poem & I appreciate your feed back. Your very crass but that's what makes you you. The shock value of someone's reaction must help fuel you & most likely feed your creativity. As we express ourselves through writing we all need to appreciate each other's style & that's what I love about writing. Thanks again :)

[Davidgeo]

Eh... I'm just kind of crass. Makes life far more interesting and forces the over sensitive people to avoid me. I hate overly sensitive people, they just plain don't know how to have a good time and are always f*****g it up for everyone else. Yeah, I like your poem. You don't have to pretend to appreciate my feed back though.

[EileenMarie]

Actually I am one of those overly sensitive people & you have given me the opportunity to look at the big picture of how important differences of opinions are. So yes I do appreciate your feedback so thank you.

[Davidgeo]

Sure. You're welcome.

[emmajoy]

There's nothing like that first sight of What and Whoever, it's almost a glimpse of a living dream. Methinks it's a case of.....'read more... ' Briefly - almost lightly put but such a weighty poem!

[EileenMarie]

Thank you! I am able to express myself very well in this type of poetry. I'm glad you liked it!

[Richard🖌]

Ahhh, Sweet EileenMarie ~
Little is anymore arousing than being immersed in the moment's allure of impending, romantic sensuality between two, who excitedly sense what's coming next.

Beautifully spake, Dear Poetess — your pen is brightly-appealing … and I love it! ⁓ Richard

[EileenMarie]

Thank you! I didn't realize I hadn't noticed your review, I am sorry about that. I am glad you enjoyed it.

[Richard🖌]

Yes, I certainly enjoyed it 9-months ago, and again just now … it is I who thank You, Eileen Marie! : )

[John Preston]

And so a story could begin
But only if?

[EileenMarie]

But if...... ah yes unfortunately life got in the way!

[John Preston]

So it seems at the end of that little encounter
one past by. Life carried on.

lol

[EileenMarie]

It sure did!

[Susan Beth Horvath]

Kind of circular in its thought flow. Describing a journey and a process

[EileenMarie]

The style is a nonnet .. 9 lines starting with 9 syllables down to 1. For some reason I do very well with this style. Thank you for the review! I
Will return the favor with reading some of your work when I
