This poem is so lovely it plays like a melody.
So tender and silky, it speaks to me.
How many hearts have you stolen or left throats swollen?
My dear man you are a rare gift with song,
Please don't keep me not waiting long
For another chance to hear your voice
Please understand I have no choice.
I'd love to dance to your tune
In the hour of midnights first June.
(Ok hardly is it advice to give or comment made. But I had to answer in this way, for to read your words is to dance in celebration to a man who celebrates women. Thank you for sharing

Sighhh! Such a compellingly stirring review you've gifted this doting poem and its graciously pleased author.
You certainly know how to catch a bard's attention, charming him with a delightfully sweet, warmly imaginative verse of your own.
Seems you celebrate men every bit as enjoyably as I do women.
For answering in the way you have, please, accept my warmest hug of thanks to thee, Dear Poetess! ⁓ Richard 🍃
The second stanza sounds a lot like Petrarch with the description of the hair! Might he have been an inspiration there?

So many artists and worlds of learning have been an influence on my writing over the years, that I no longer know exactly who or what inspired my pen … maybe, you're right in your assertion, but not consciously on my part.
Thanks most gratefully for your read and review! ⁓ Richard 🍃
This reminds me of what I first learned poetry to be. Thank you for the beautiful read!

I am graciously blessed you've selected this work in respect and honor to You, a fine, accomplished Poetess and most wonderful lady.
You are quite correct, too … this is true poetry at its classical best, just as there are almost endless forms and types of quality poetry. Many can be read and enjoyed on here that are composed and shared by excellent poetesses, including You.
My warmest hug of gratitude, with a grand 2021 to You, Dear Poetess ⁓ Richard 🍃
Hey Sir Richard!
Hope you'd remember me because I do very well. I'm revisiting writerscafe after so long, like after ages... I've been depressed, lacking any desire to write anymore, procrastinating a lot.
Coming to this excellent poem,
I truly felt a connection. It feels like my kinda poetry.
It is a poem praising a poetess, crowning her for her glory.
As you try to carve out all her details, her portrait fills my eyes!
The picture is perfect.
Thank you so much for sharing a poem worth millions in my view.

I am sooo very happy to see you … remember you? Never could I forget You and your lovely poems and reviews … you're truly one of a kind Poetess.
I guess you know this poem is about you, too, don't you?
The news of your depression and writer's block saddens my heart, but to see you back reading and reviewing me makes it happy again.
You are ever-so welcome, Tazeen … welcome home, M'Dear, and thank you warmly for your sweet review! ⁓ Richard 🍃

I'm currently pursuing a bachelors in legislative law...and will ever write poems for it is a gift not everyone is blessed with.
I really look forward to meet you if possible it may be. You're welcome to INDIA!
Wow I don't know how but this slightly resembles my poem coincidentally,in the adjectives and descriptions used but your poem is far too awesome and is content , theme in tribute is different as in marvellous charming gallant tribute to all fine poetesses of all variety. I hope the list includes me sometime in the future. Kudos!!!

Aw how nice of you to say you include me too now, I'm super excited just to hear that even though I know this was for other more professional poetesses.
Best wishes,

That one my humble efforts would evoke shades of Keats in your lovely discernment to its romantic nuance is praise higher than I could ever have expected, but I'm holding onto it closely … smile*
Your praise and expressed appreciation sweep me over the moon; but, after-all, this poem is about You, ya know. : )
I would say you've left me a bit breathless, too … my warmest thanks! ⁓ Richard 🍃
Brilliant Richard, just brilliant as you weave perfect poetry with a Shakespearean humour! And such an acute observation as we the weaker the sex do succumb so readily to the charms of red ink!

If any Café bard would personally know and understand the charming impetus of poems in dedication and homage to the wonderfully infinite array and variety of our amazing Lady-Poets, that would surely be You, one of the most prolific readers, reviewers, and oft read poets onsite.
Thank you, My Fine Friend, for your graciously appreciated compliments and expressed enjoyment of this finely laid piece … and, I know the ladies will be warmed and inspired by your thought-filled words, too! ⁓ Richard 🍃
