She forgives you. She says that she understands humans just aren't as tasteful as oranges.
(Sorry, Quill, Valencia can be a little acidic at times. 😬 But she put a flower in her toque, so she's actually quite happy.)

She's peeking out now.

Valencia is horrified that she might remind anyone of such an appalling person, and is hiding her face in shame. She thinks she has more a-peel than any mere human.

AI generated after I failed at trying to draw one. But I think this should become the internationally accepted emoji for "I enjoy you!"

I wanted to write something along these lines, the first one at least, and then I saw this week's form! So here's a Rhyme Royale, complete with lambic pentameter and 7 lines - just trust it doesn't cross any. 🤞☺️

This poem by @imnotherenow.bsky.social contrasts two very different styles of relating to God.
I love it because I deeply relate to both.
My responsive poem is meant to reflect that. With that in mind, please read the words "you" and "your" as plural, referring to both people in the original poem.

Like Gracefold, I felt the yearning, but was not able to sit still with it. Since English lacks a plural form of you and your, I almost substituted it with French vous and votre, until I remembered that would be interpreted as singular between strangers and be even more confusing.

I would like to #LiftToTheSky @mwplovesmusic.bsky.social, because through her:
• expressive poetry,
• evocative emoetry prompts,
• continual community encouragement,
she generously shares her vibrancy.
So I would like to lift her to the sky.
But that’s hard to do for someone who is already there.

Speaking of the King of Silliness (may he reign forever!) @daveashleypoet.bsky.social,
I finally had the opportunity to photograph our local beaver carnage. All pretty fresh too!

Good addition. And yes, that's another tension I definitely feel, that also comes up in this poem. I couldn't figure out how to link it, so I just did a screenshot.

Fresh, 'cause he's not salty!)

Moorhen, Moorhen,
don’t let your Royal Navy status
make you a snoot
Moorhen, Moorhen,
you’re still cousin to the old
American Coot
Unfortunately, there wasn't a single coot out on the local pond today, so my photo is only signage.

Since no one has named him yet this week, for my first #lifttothesky, I will honour @daveashleypoet.bsky.social While his poetry is heart-catching, his real artistry is in the life-giving community he continuously creates. With warmth, humour and humility, he cultivates a living poem out of poets.
