Half a Love Story

Lately, when it comes to kissing
something seems to have gone missing;
for if the kissing rules are heeded,
it’s clear two pairs of lips are needed.

I have the half that’s labeled “me.”
I only lack the one called “he.”
So when it comes to birds and bees,
I must rely on memories!

The one-word prompt today was “Incomplete.”

      I’m not surprised that you would respond to this piece. I’d just read a number of your posts before I selected it, so I think your aura was still hovering. You are the prototype protective mama bird!

    I adore your blog mainly for how symbolic and meaningful your poetry is. I really look up to your blog for inspiration and poetry tips. I recently got more into it and I tried it out for myself. Would love it if you could give me some pointers. Please check out my take on the prompt at https://morescoopplease.wordpress.com/ and give me some feedback!

      Dear One More Shot. I have spent a good deal of time considering your poem and have a page of comments (are you ready for that???) but don’t want to give them publicly. See my comment made under that poem where I request your email address… Judy
