Putting down roots

Not that I make it a habit of quoting Buddy Holly songs, but "it's so easy to fall in love"...
I don't know why, but I do this too. If she's cute with red hair and freckles, I'm flat on my face in love... all the words of wisdom won't change a thing.
But speak them you must and speak them you have! Well said!

Haha there is nothing wrong with Buddy Holly sing quotes JJ and indeed it is! Thanks for the comment :)  FC  💜

This is great...Love how you made the tree...I try not to get caught in that trap but I do enjoy the lust and passion phase.

Thanks Tim...I'm not much of a writer but I think, feel, write and on occasion create pretty visual art with words I don't plan it but as I'm going along it kind of just happens 😁Thanks again for the read and comment :)  FC  💜

The tree is brilliant!  I love the visual imagery merging with the metaphor.  And your words...wonderful!  Well done!  :)

Thanks lovely Willow! I'm so chuffed you enjoyed this one! :) FC 💜

Does shock and awe cover it? Not even a start! This is pure beauty!! I absolutely adore everything you've done with it, from the carefully thought precision words and rhymes to the spacing, to the tone changes! Everything! Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!! This is fantastic!

Haha why is it your comments always have me grinning like a goofy idiot 😁 I love your praise CW it always means so much...especially because I was really unsure about this one. I wasn't expecting to wake up to all this good feedback! Super great start to my day! 😆 FC 💜

That's a damn great feeling, right?? I've had quite a few moments lately as well. It's because our subjective reality differs from that of others, which is why, these comments help to put the quality of our work into a different perspective.

Too right! 😁 ah I see...I knew you'd have a rational explanation for it 👌

I'm always rational. Maybe everyone is, even irrational people. They just don't understand the meaning behind their irrationality. However, if they did, they'd act in a different manner to achieve what their aim is. Hence the term irrationality. So, they are irrational but for a rational cause.

Good thinking... now if anyone ever says I'm being irrational in the future... I will state with confidence I'm simply being irrationally rational or rationally irrational I'm not sure which way around nevertheless I'm sure they'll get the point! 😗😄

Haha just tell them you want something but you don't know what it is. So you're acting out so someone else will figure it out for you.

Haha where I live we have this thing were someone will say something like... 'can you pass me that thingy, it's under the blue thingy' and the other person  will know what they mean and say 'here's your bloody thingy' 😂😂😂

So beautifully said. Relationships are built off trust. 👏👏👏🙌🤘

Thanks DC. Indeed they are and sometime it takes a while to appreciate how to true that is :)  A huge thanks for reading and commenting!

Oh yes, sometimes a very long time, lol. But it is so wonderful when you do realize 🤗

It's as if you had my former self in mind when writing this. Each line touched me on a personal level and the message towards the end was just beautiful. I love this 👏

Hi StreetRabbit. Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a positive comment. I'm so chuffed this touched you on a personal level and that you love it 🙊😆 FC 💜

The comparison with growing a tree is wonderful! Sometimes I wonder what happened with old fashioned dating, getting to know someone first... it's almost like love became fastfood :-/

Great write, Fem!

Thanks D for reading and commenting always much appreciated:) Yeah that's an accurate analogy...unfortunately fools will continue to rush in and when the lust wears off they will move on. I saw the expression somewhere before that in today's generation if something is broken we replace it rather than fix it. It's sad that things have become expendable and even more sad people too. FC 💜

I love the "Milieu Concrete" cinematic production feeling of this piece, and the award winning narrative! Great write.

Great poem of the nature of fleeting relationships.  You write with what appears to be the clarity of personal experience.
To me relationships are entered into in the most haphazard way, like kids building a boat with hammers and nails and scrap wood
found lying around the garage.  Through many failures some figure it out and get plans, proper tools, and help from a variety of sources.
Building a boat is a complex and scientific endeavor best not to be left to chance.  How much more complex is building a lasting, working, loving, relationship?
