Waste of time

Exquisite.

Dear Lobo, I feel highly honored by your comment.
Wasn't sure about the grammatical correctness, am never quite sure.
Thank you so much for the reading list entry, too :-)!

Thank you so much for your encouraging thoughts and words, todski28 :-)!

You're right. Sometimes it might be an advantage to be not so overstuffed with rules and be able to just play with words and structures. That may work as a second language poet:-). And it's absolute fun! But nonetheless I think it's much easier (and safer) to knit your blanket of words knowingly in order to create something extraordinary or beautiful. If you try that without fundamental knowledge it might fire back. Nobody will understand your poem and that would be frustrating. For both, the writer AND the reader. You mentioned the nuances, that's what a non-native speaker might lack since they might not know enough about the connotation of words. Pick a wrong word and derstroy the entire poem. Especially if it just consists of 17 syllables :-)!
Thanks again for your welcome words!

been there. truth
waste of time, give in.
nice ink, Miss ;)

Been thinking so myself. Therefore ...
Thanks a lot, miki :-).

Only fooling ourselves in the long run. Nice write.

Yes, why deny ourselves all the fun, huh?
Thank you, lyricalmiss, for the understanding :-).

I'm always worrying about which tense
to use when I write -
past tense,
present tense,
pre tence..:)

Hahaha, pre tence isn't my favourite, I'm afraid!
But you made me laugh out  loud! Thank you, Paul!

your poem is defined by the term 'naked truth,' Chi.
wonderful...

That would have been a more appropriate title to the haiku than mine :-), John. I appreciate your vivid comments much! Thank you!

Wonderful and wise ... enjoyed as always ... ox

Hi JeJe! Glad you enjoyed my little excursion into the trials and tribulations of clandestine needs ... :-)! xoxo

Echo John Feddeler. Sum up as: Mutual recognition of a mutual denial of a mutual desire for mutual physical company.

With mutual as the coupling word, everything makes sense. And fun :-).
You summed it up perfectly, Solomon! Thank you!

woah nice!

Hi! Nice to meet you, megansagesmith!
Thanks for the read and the kind comment!

And energy that could be spent in pleasantries. Resistance is futile...

Exactly :-). Why tilting at windmills and not just enjoy the wind ...
Wise words, Ahavati, and much appreciated.

Miss Chi,

Always, a woman of action! ;-) Enjoyed!

Action and reaction - the engine of life.  
Love and lust - the spice of life.  
You inspire me, tornado. Thanks a lot!

Lust always speaks volumes.

You are the queen of haiku Chi! I wish I could form a picture in 17 syllables the way you do....

Awww rain, you make me really happy with your amiable comment :-)! Thank you so much! xoxo
I'm sure that you could do haiku without any effort within a short time. It's just having a fertile plot and plenty of feeling and putting the essence of them into 17 syllables :-). You just have to make your mind work in 5-7-5. That's trainable. I find it very difficult to produce anything more opulent than a haiku. Insofar I wish I could produce free verse poems like yours :-)!.

Amazing how three lines can generate so many thoughts!

Thanks a lot Jazz :-). I'm glad it does!

There is some serious truth in this. Time ticks on, and chances fade away. Beautifully expressed and doesn't need a syllable more.

Thank you so much, mariekeys! Life ist short and why not seize the chance :-).
Nice to meet you here on DU!
