I always appreciate the way you show me what loves look like, what it means for a man to love his wife with abandon, and to do that out loud for us all to witness and grow from. Thank you!
I had to read shimmer again today. It reminds me of why we sleep in separate beds. Mary likes to sprawl and I snore. And yes bad dreams where I shout no out loud. Ah so much. Back to the rivers edge I go. Thanks Sherman. For your writing and visions in poetry.
Thanks, Andrea. I use rhyme all the time! These poems have rhymes. "Good Sweat" is a five-line poem with two sets of end rhymes: "limbs/skin" and "exalt/salt."
So very much love! Deeper than anything on earth! Thank you.
These are gorgeous! I so wish my husband would spare me from his snoring and sleep with the cats.

Beautiful! I love the vibrancy and honesty of your writing.
These are great. I, too, am an imagist, but more inclined than you to rhyme. Thanks

Ah -- water, bed, cooking, aging -- it's all body and mind and spirit and love. Thank you, dearest Sherman!

It's been many years since I've been charmed and touched by a poem. These are wonderful, Sherman!
Great poems. When it comes to marriage to a good woman, a man does what he can. That's enough. That's all he can do.
Oh, to love so well!
These are so very beautiful. Breath taking love poems. Yes and again yes. Thank you.
Lovely sweet and powerful poems. I really enjoyed the imagery.Thank you for sharing such an intimate glimpse into your love for your wife.
Apparently my snoring is so ridiculous, we could sleep in separate houses.
“Dear God, I want to be a better husband than I’ve ever been.”
A prime reason for marriage
if I’ve ever read
or said one.
Beautiful!
Thanks.
Your sincerity is a gift. The passion sweet. Sharing your love like this is very generous. Merci beaucoup!
donned your incantatory hat
on the last one / nice.
