its very classy romantic poem but it did not reveal too much. Love how if you put things together, it could imply so much. reminds me of a couple gong on a honeymoon lol 'Dreams answered" nicely put.

Thanks again.
I had to come up with something really fast. I only had 10 minutes. I wanted to write a complete disaster since it was a blind date. I always get a kick out of the dates that completely bomb on the television show. Sometimes, they work out, but they're a whole lot funnier when they completely hate each other by the end of the date. I chose to write a romantic blind date since I had a feeling that everyone would write about bad blind dates. It turned out that I was the only one that wrote a romantic one for the prompt.

You're making me blush.
I almost wrote a complete disaster blind date, but time was running short with the ten minute time limit, so I just typed this one out as quick as I could. I usually avoid quickie contests. What can I say? I think it's because I'm a sucker for happy endings. I should go back and write a parody to this, and make it completely fall to pieces, as so many blind dates end up in the dumpster.

Thank you so much, Himler!
So many blind dates end up in disaster. I just had ten minutes to enter this quickie contest, so I thought it would work out better if it was written as the ideal blind date. Don

All that for a blind date, how do you know, I think I need to read something else. Choosing random poetry, good though, I think not much of a haikooer. With respect.

This one definitly deserves the gold trophy it got Love!! It's beautiful...and the words you used are mesmerizing...**hugs** awesomeness my dear and congrats on the gold!!!

-
Thank you so much, Liz.
That just made my day. I had such a short amount of time to write this one for a quickie contest. It's not very often I can write something in under ten minutes. I've seen that show Blind Date many times, and its many disasters, so I thought that it would work out nicer if the blind date wasn't a disaster. I just didn't have enough time to think up a disaster blind date. Maybe, I will write one of those.

This indeed is a precious piece you penned here poet.

Was worthy of it.

Thank you so much, Tory.
It's not very often that I can write something so quick. I only had 10 minutes to write this one, and it was limited to only 10 poets. I thought it would be nice to make this a successful blind date rather than the disaster that so many people experience on blind dates. Don

Beatiful
I love this piece. Don't change a thing. Love lots.
May your words keep floating like a swan on the lake.

Thank you so much, spanishrose.
It's not very often that I can write something so quick. I really admire how you can so easily write in a pinch. That's really tough for me to do.

How to you say so much in so few words. My hat (if I was wearing one) goes off to you. I usually dislike those kind of contests for I think that ten minutes is no length of time to write a poem of any worth and ten words isn't going to make a worthy poem anyway. You have just blown away those ideas. Actually no, you haven't, but I like this whereas I don't like all the others. So that's another "style" of poetry you've converted me to.
Congratulations on the gold
Take care dude x

-
Thank you, George!
It's not very often that I enter the quickie contests, but I also liked how this one turned out with so few words. Usually, if I feel rushed, it puts a huge damper on my creativity. Don
-
-
Yeah I agree, I hate that feeling. Its always the way, you have plenty of time to think of things to write, and then when you actually try time runs away!
-
-
-
Don, in a few words you communicatd a lot. I like this very much. I hope all your dreams are answered, and you give your wife a Rose bouquet.

-
Thank you, Jeff.

Thank you so much.
The first thing I thought of with the prompt was the disasters that happen, so I'm really glad that I gave this one a happy ending. I almost went the disaster route, but couldn't think of anything with the time limit bearing down on me. I was thinking about how a co-worker of mine years ago was going out on his first date. Kenny went on to say, "I got her a rose bouquet." I was a bit stunned when he showed me the roses he intended on giving this girl he couldn't stop thinking about. They were fake (his first mistake), and they were black. That might have worked out fine if the girl was into the gothic scene, but she wasn't in the least. Knight70

-
LOL fake and black??...How awkward... and
very funny..Thank you for sharing that with me.
-
-
You're welcome.
That sure was awkward. I can imagine the look on the girl's face was priceless. Today, Kenny has four kids, so he must have given up on the black roses. Knight70

Sounds like a marvelous blind date. Well written with romantic imagery. Loved it. Well deserved gold.
-
Romantic, sensual and so beautifully written. I admire poets who can write such lovely pieces in so few words, something i must try to master! I loved this piece and it deserved the gold. Well done.

Congratulations on winning the gold trophy with this marvelous poem. I don't know how amazing poets like yourself are able to write so quickly, and yet have the final product turn out so superbly. My hand is far too slow, I'm afraid. Keep up the wonderful works!

Thank you, David!
Quickies are so tough for me, most of the time, so I don't enter them very often. However, I'm getting more experience with writing off the top of my head. I never used to be able to do that at all until recently. When I read your piece, Comfortably Numb, and saw that it was something like 60 lines, I knew I was in for a treat. You created a visual masterpiece on the inside of an asylum. I felt as if I were immersed in a film that Robin Williams did some years ago, called Awakenings. I'm continually learning about poetry from your work, especially with language and rhyme.
I've learned how to write much more thoughtful comments on other poets work than I did when I first started writing poetry. Ten months ago, I didn't go much further than, "Wow! I loved it!" Your comments were really what inspired me to start really putting more thought into how I commented on other poets work. It makes me feel very good to get comments like that, so I enjoy paying others the same respects. It just feels right. I find that I get more reads, which is always nice. Don

I've watched that tv show, Blind Date, and so many of the dates end up as disasters, so I thought it would be good to write about a successful blind date.
