Senryu to nurturing

Ah, Dear Lady Keilani 🌾
  How softly your voice upon my hopeful ear fulfills a most ardent hope of pleasing at least one who comes to read a bard's humble efforts.
  It makes me feel happy to know you think so highly of the title; I spent considerable time in contemplation on it … your praise, sentiments, and expressed appreciation are as gently sparkling moonlight on a rippled pond.

Thank you ever-so warmly, Keilani … hugs! ⁓ Richard 🍃

You're warmly welcome, Lady Keilani 🥂
  Sharing with You is stimulating.

Really beautiful. Truly captured young love, growing together and supporting each other. Love it! good luck in the competition.

Cultivating bliss...a forgotten art really.  Romance. more often than not, goes by the way side. Tears sting my eyes for at the age of 72 will I ever find someone to listen to hear, Hear, one who wants to draw from the well within, to drink of the bliss for which you speak.  A lost art.  

Thank you for the read.  

And what heavier, thicker, darker, than their shadow?  Have you ever turned a three-day battle with a demon into a dance of loving union?  Note:  you will have to turn the dance back into hostility, the roses back into steel, at the end of that, after doing your alchemical duty, which may have been a stupid thing to do in the first place.  Oh, I'm being silly.

You are a beautiful poet of form, and your poem "In My Dreams" sang to me.

So much content, so many feelings and so many scenarios spring from these 17 syllables... and you managed to make it rhyme, too!  I've never attempted a rhyming senryu.  Thank you for the suggestion!!
