I Always Wanted a Man

I always wanted a man

to bring me flowers

or a cup of tea

(to share)

when the skies are grey.

I always wanted a man

to guide me  gently into a room,

his hand ensconced around my waist.

I always wanted a man.

Yes, one of those will do nicely.

Fun tongue-in-cheek humor with a dash of authentic romance. I always wanted a man who would squeeze me fresh orange juice of a morn . . . but any man will do now that I'm 64! *wink! wink!* Nice job of using enjambment creatively to mislead the reader a bit (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Diana]

Thank you, Margie!

haa, again, it's your conversation skills that transition so easily and dominate.. such quaint and honest wishes as you scroll down the page and then bam! a whippy little apetiser to seal the deal... enjoy your way, well done.

[Diana]

Thank you. Your witty repartee isn't so bad, either.

I see Dickinson here.....but I see Dickinson everywhere.

"to make a prairie
it takes a clover
and one bee"

I love the sound of this.....dana

[Diana]

Well, thank you, I'm flattered. I've never been compared to Dickinson before. *blushes*

[Lyn Anderson]

This is cleverly subtle. Well done.

[Diana]

Much appreciated. Thank you.

Diana, it is the fool who has the opportunity to do all of these things for you but doesn't. This was sad but beautifully written. I really enjoyed this today.

[Diana]

Thank you, Will. Your comments are always on-point and tend to bring a smile to my face.

[willweb]

If I have brought a smile to your face Diana, then I have created true beauty.

[Diana]

It's nice to be reminded that there are still good people in the world. I may not know you in person, but I really feel strongly that you are.

[Sami Khalil]

Simple wish or request but powerful and one that men should be honored to have and share. Excellent....:).......

[Diana]

Sigh. Yes. Thank you, Sami.

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome...:).........

i would bring you flowers in a heartbeat...but i don't make very good tea...
but sharing is definitely a good thing.

[Diana]

That's very sweet. Thank you, Jacob.
