Distraction

Well, I've had to read you, of course,
and I think this is rather beautiful,
so I'm glad I have..

Thanks D, your poems where the inspiration.

Catchy and beautiful little poem. Who wouldn't like to be someone's favorite distraction?

Being a favorite distraction also implies that you are just for amusement until other more important people become available.

Oh. Is that so? I've rather been thinking of someone I'd really love and tell him: Hey, sweetheart, you're my one and only and favorite distraction because I love you so much.  
 
Might that be a starting point, too? Or has "distraction" always that negative connotation? *brood*

You are correct. Distraction can mean different things. My intent and the meaning one derives from a reading may vary. I had the negative connotation in mind but you read it another way. Makes me feel as though the poem might be mildly successful. :)

Yes, absolutely! If there's room enough for interpretation so the message doesn't only depend on the author's mood but also on the reader's perception, it's definitely wonderfully crafted! Here you go!

Thank you so much.
