"Your Sweet Rain"
Richard,
Description of human need for a very special someone; we are somehow not sufficient to only ourselves.The thing I found so true in these verses was the commitment to the true dedication to heart of their loved one. It was beautiful. Very mature with a self discipline to remember to not forget nor take for granted this precious commitment. Lovely. The verse form really works well for your message.
Blessings,
Kathy

Your sentiments and insights of my poetry always express a deeper grasp and relatability than mosts' … I am sure this is why a warm glow envelopes me whenever I see your name under one of my pieces.
Often, you perceive aspects of intent and meanings that go back to a work's original premise I may have forgotten when first composing it … I think this is uncanny that anyone could.
In-any-event, I am proud to share the wee glimpses into my core you so easily and naturally see … hugs 'n blessings to Thee! ⁓ Richard

It is blessing to express at all, to voice, to rejoice in our own beings the unique colors we each possess. Isn't it wonderful how different we all are and how we all see things differently. Thank you very much for being so kind and for affirming. Money and all the things humanity chases is not the jewel that kindness, affirming and upholding others is!

Woah! I loved the way your words danced and trailed down the page! Really breathtaking this piece was ;)
I still haven't decided on my favourite stanza here but I loved it on the whole :)

The praise and expressed enjoyment in your words truly are the gratuity an olde bard writes and shares for, in earnest hope of receiving.
It is the rhythm and cadence of the form that creates an easy flow and dancing effect.
I, too, find it challenging to chose one part over the other, as the whole is required to make it work.
We can take on this form, if you'd like … just say the word. : )
Thanks again, Dear Lady-Poet 🌺 for your lovely touch! ⁓ Richard

Another review from one of my favorite onsite poets, and you really know how to make a bard feel good about writing and sharing his wares.
You and I both see eye-to-eye on the sensual verses, and it's nice to find someone to agree with.
Thank you for the encouraging praise, My Friend, and for loving anything about this complex and original piece! ⁓ Richard
Beautifully and tastefully sensual Hexaverse and I like the occasional use of // between verses,
I love the line about Eros and the tempest strong enough to deliver your words,
written in only the way your passionate heart could write this...LOve,Sheryl

Thanks for reading this unique, interesting, and challenging poem, filled with sensuality, romance, and a wow-factor like few others.
Thanks for the comments and compliment … blessings on your day! ⁓ Richard
You, my simple bard, are the essence of poetry, of all writing. The Old English was a brilliant idea and brought the imagery and evanescence alive. This brought tears to my eyes and made me realize that some still know and understand the romance of poetry, the nature of how to speak through words, and that chivalry still exists. Thank you, my dear friend, for making my day with this beautiful piece! You are a true Romeo, a Shakespearean at heart.

Your delicious review is so warming, I think I may just print it and sleep with it under my pillow, so tonight's dreams will be as beautiful as your words to me … mmm!
I think you and this poem may have adopted each another, who could blame either of you if you have! ; )
It is I who thank you, Lovely Poetess, warmest hugs to you! ⁓ Rascal
Images keep falling on the reader's mind like that sweet rain of pleasure you've so skillfully described. I think using Old English has heightened the poetic attraction to the poem.
A strong invitation to give in to the lover's request fully, without any reservation and quench his passion which is burning bright for both to see and experience.
I must say this diminishing hexavrese (or in your case decaverse) sounds like fun. I will surely give it a try whether an increasing or a diminishing one.
Thank you for showing us delicious poetry and fun ways to play with verses :D

How did I ever miss the radiance of this marvelously tender, heart-fetching joy of a review.
I must be totally slipping not to have felt your presence, and MMmmm, how I love the poetica of your words, as they imbue my every fiber with sheer enthrallment.
With a review such as yours, you know I'm going to shine my pen and have it filled to the brim, ready for my very next inspiration — I'd not be a bit surprised if it's about You … thanks so much, Dear One! ♂ Richard

:) you're welcome and you inspired me to write a hexaverse. :) it turned out to be fun. :)
You are far from a simple bard! This is another form that's new to me, and your example is amazing. Do you choose the last word first and work from there? You sure know how to keep things interesting.

You do so bless me with your presence here upon the page of this lovely amazing form, and who better to give it a try but the adventurous Roland!
Begin with the 5-line, 5-syllable minimum version, working it down to 1-line, 1-syllable, and later-on, if you decide to add more lines later, you can with as many as you'd like … I know you'd do a 1st-class job; then, you can be first and inspire Matt to do one, too … LOL!
Thank you, Roland, for reading this one for me, and for your charming, gratifying, and encouraging compliments.
Here's hoping your day is as ncie as you've helped make mine … "KLINK!" ⁓ Richard
