Ray - as an Auburn haired girl I thank you. A great poem that reeled me in and painted a beautiful picture of innocent attraction.

Neil, I've come back to this a second time. You've captured that moment of a shift in a relationship so perfectly. Beautiful work.

I particularly liked the fifth stanza with its sense of desperation and urgency. I'm shocked to learn that there's really such a thing as office sexual conduct training. A well-deserved poem of the week.

Interesting. Read your poem many times. I am getting different reactions. Unfortunately I have experienced the "huntress" that just wants to be taken care of. Twice been left for that type.
I have come to the wonderful place of acceptance. I have lost that desperate aching need for a mate. I hope it never returns.
I agree with M.C. The good old days of the forever mate seems to be unpopular. The world appears impatient. Taking the time to travel the mountains and valleys of relationships is something few are willing to do. Reboot and start over is the dance I see happening. I must admit that makes me sad.

So sorry for your loss Douglas.
My little guy has been diagnosed with heart issues so each day is precious. I so adore him but he is a pill lol. I think God made him cute so people are willing to put up with some of his antics.
I will miss him dearly when it is his time and wish I was still dealing with his quirky behavior.

Then of course there is the "experimental sonnet", otherwise known as 'playing fast and loose with the form' - eg Ted Berrigan, Geraldine Monk, Tim Atkins (at least one of his is in the form of a Krazy Kat cartoon), Peter Hughes and of course Robert Sheppard.

Multi-faceted. I agree with Ray that the repetition of the first two lines is a strong technique in the piece.

Just checked in Cieran following your comment on Auburn Hair. Your technique really makes for poetic form and satisfaction, repeating first lines to take us at a lovely pace through the muse .
This is something I fear I may poach in the future, having seen it in action!
The very best . Ray

Hi Ray - as Sir John Betjeman is my favourite poet I can't help but like this and the way you read it. Perhaps he would have have put one or two more rhymes in?
Comment is about AUBURN HAIR (blog)
Original item by ray pool
An evergreen theme down the ages, with a popularity frequently
found in films for the widest audience. Cue: boo...hiss for the
femme fatale - or the cad and bounder! We like to think that "true
love" will prevail for the happy ending. Sadly, not always the case
in true life. Divorce lawyers smile a lot, I'm sure.

The juxtaposition of ideas and flow of the rhythm combine to make this piece one for the books.

Which takes me to a question I have about the Saturday theme blogs.
When it's five past midnight here in the UK
On each and every Saturday
What time (and day?) is it, I wonder,
With our poets hard at work down under?

I enjoyed this imaginative analogy of the music of nature and the
music of mankind. There is a genuine history of the influence of
one upon the other, with some of the most memorable still played
today - e..g. The Moldau (Smetana) and "Fingal's Cave >The
Hebrides Overture" (Mendelsohnn). And, of course, we have the master - Beethoven - with his country wanderings giving us his famous "Pastoral" Symphony.

An informative and entertaining foray into farmland and wider pastures. I've occasionally wondered about the direction taken by
these rarely considered life-forms - does a worm turn? (recalling
an old saying).
