a sequence baring her
grafted emotion.
she's waiting to
see his smile,
only
once.

Michelle, I love all you feed us, thank you. I tried a Nonet immediately, so much fun to try to conform thoughts to a syllable pattern.
How clever to link them all like this!
A lovely image! Do lovers still express passionately in bark? I don't think so, but how romantic. Thanks for the prompt. I gave it a try and called it "Together".
I read you have been sick, all better I hope! :-) Take care.

Michelle, quite a task combining those five words with a Nonet. You pulled it off quite well.
The phrase, "... a sequence baring her grafted emotion," caught my attention.
Another new challenge I would like to try.
You did a great job on "Sweetheart Tree"
Very interesting, Michelle. You used the words so well, and created a lovely poem. I can picture the two lovers in the woods, or maybe just the woman, carving away, hoping he'll see what she did.
People do still carve their initials, at least where I live.
That's a great one. Thanks, as always, for broadening my horizons.
I wrote this as soon as I read the post. I'm late for lunch, here it is:
Deposed? Dew Roused.
much love.
