Tender Leah

Welcome back Cherie, I've not been here as much for the last little while; internet went down for a few days; and as you can image there was gnashing of teeth and epic outcry upstairs; outside of the fact that I could not get on the site, I was quite pleased with the lack of internet; I always see these things as a sign to have a walk, climb a tree or cuss of the neighbour for not carrying a plastic bag as they walk their dog; the law in these parts.....anyway I'm so glad you commented on this poem, I have an old poem called 'Leah' I'm  fond of it but it is somewhat two dimensional, it speaks of falling in love as a fairy tale, not even a metaphor....I tried to fuse that idea with a bit of reality as well.....what does falling in love with someone do for you in a good and practical way in the present tense; I picked the most basic thing; comfort and encouragement then used the Leah beginning and put the practical present tense at the end....wow so glad when you comment....first you are a great poet, and second you understand poetry very well, I value your observations beyond words.....thank you once again sis, apologies for being so long winded but I was so pleased with your comment....cheers
