In that well appointed room of Spotlight on Love (Tanka) a red rose begged for attention. Now, it has been . . .

 

Spotlighted Again

 

Enraptured, he gazed

At the gobleted red rose,

Leaned to inhale it

As she tingled with delight

At the pleasure in his eyes

I can just picture Rhett Butler wickedly sniffing a rose before handing it to Miss Scarlett....neat poem, conjured up a lot of images for me.

A lovely image. I can see them in front of me with the rose and the feelings, desire and expressions. It also takes me to other possibilities too, Jim.

Glad it struck a chord, Larry. Thank you.

Ol' Rhett is at it again, eh, Lynn. I'm glad you like it.

Thank you, Vijay.

I got flowers once, pretty amazing.

This is a touching and endearing - playful moment.

Thank you, everyone. If you're interested, there is a companion piece to Spotlighted Again, Spotlight on Love. It is also a tanka. I hope you enjoy it.
