Appraisal
What’s the current market value of a hug, caress or kiss?
Why would any self-respecting person get engrossed in this?
Isn’t it a tad surprising we’d make such hullabaloo
Of this silly, unproductive, non-remunerative goo?
That’s the miracle of romance and of loving: that we choose
To pursue ridiculous intangibles among the ooze
Of lace valentines and candies, in hand-holding, making eyes
Like moo-cows and fuzzy puppies at each other—but the prize
Found in all this crazy weirdness, wacky though our loving be,
Is the exponential return on this small investment that we see
When beloved turns to lover and responds in foolish kind:
That’s the truth toward which we hover when two loves get so entwined.

Awww…so beautiful and clever, Kathryn! One of my favorites! xoxo
Oh, you and I and our mushy love songs! 😀

This is sweet, Kathryn, and the illustrations beautiful. I especially like the latter of the two. “Like moo-cows and fuzzy puppies at each other …” Yep. That sums it up rather nicely.
If it isn’t a little silly, it’s too proper to be real love, to my way of thinking anyway! I’m glad you like my Peter Max-izing experiment with version number 2 of the flora. 🙂
Dancing in the kitchen,
Sitting on the sand,
Life is so much sweeter
When a lover lends a hand…
😀
So very true. 😀
Made me smile and get that warm fuzzy feeling inside…great reminder that the romance is a big part of the fun when in love! Thanks.
May you and your lady-love always remember it too! And I think you do! 😀
Hooray for romance! My dear wife and I will celebrate 31 years of romance and ‘goo’ next month.
Here’s to the next 31 years! Three cheers for you two!
Ah, yes. That’s why! 🙂
