This actually happened. We found each other again a year later.
[Read “The Year Was 1970” for the whole story!]
She was struck, as if by lightening
So intense ’twas almost frightening
Dark eyes staring at her face.
There he sat, so nonchalant
Charmer, rogue or bon vivant?
Her heart began to race!
Was he the one she waited for
Her wildest fantasy and more
Could this be the case?
She heard a noise and turned around
Then sadly, turning back she found
He’d left without a trace.
COMING UP MONDAY, NOV. 8:

That perfect man always disappears.
Love,
Janie
But, he came back. ?
Debbie,
Good job!
Thanks! ?
If it’s meant to be, it will be, for sure. 🙂 x
I was surprised to see him again, a year later. 🙂 Thanks, Deb!
Nicely done, Debbie! Have a great week ahead!
Thank you, Eugenia! 🙂 Have a good weekend.
What a lovely blast from the past… If you roll a ball uphill, it will always come back to you.
Or, past you… 😉
Thanks, Myke! Love the response. 😀
Well done.
Have a fabulous day and week, Debbie. ♥
Thank you, Sandee! 🙂 You too. ♥
Hi Debbie – lovely poem and so pleased you found each other again … take care and cheers – Hilary
Thanks, Hilary! 🙂
One of those fate stories. It reads nicely. Glad things came together later.

Thanks, Arlee. 🙂
Wonderful poem – hope you have a great week!
Thanks, Carol! 🙂 I’ll be making the blogging rounds again, as of this week. Cheers!
Fabulous poem Debbie! Glad to hear that he found his way back to you. But alas, another two-legged dog. I’m all too very familiar with that variety, sad to say… But hopefully the ride was worth the trip… 😉

There are so many two-legged dogs in this world! 😀 Oh yeah; it was worth it, for a brief time.
Love the summer reruns and your poem. 😀
Thanks! If TV can do it, why not bloggers? 🙂 Summers are short and need to be enjoyed offline.
Good poem, DEBBIE. Ahh, yes, women leaving me without a trace — it’s one of the (many) stories of my life.
Sorry to find you’re not posting a Battle this time, but I’ll return for the July 15th contest. You say this will be a Battle I suggested to you? Hmmm…. I can’t even remember now what that was. Guess I’ll find out in a month.

Sorry to bail, Stephen, but I needed to get away from the internet for awhile. I left you a hint about the next battle on your results post.
Great poem ! Your comment about “a two-legged dog” was a hoot as well 😉 I’ve found that some re-runs are better the second time around.
Hi diedre; Lots of ‘two-legged dogs’ in the world! 😀 I like rerunning certain posts. You often get a completely different audience. I’m glad you enjoyed the poem. Thanks for dropping in!
Summer reruns. Reminds me of television when I was a kid.

Same idea. 😉 Summertime is better enjoyed outside, rather than online.
Fantastic poem, Debbie! 🙂
Take all the time you need, for the BotB… I am happy to rest on my laurels with a win streak.
I’m glad you liked it, Myke! 🙂 I’m limiting online time to better enjoy the summer, which is always too short. Thanks for dropping in.
Lovely poem, Debbie, and good to know, (after reading your replies) that you both got together… Sigh!! I always love happy endings…have a great rest of the week my friend. xPenx
Thanks for dropping by Penny. Yes, it was interesting that we got together a year later, but sad to say, it didn’t last, in the end. I’m a little behind with the social media, but promise to catch up soon. Have a great week! 🙂
I love your work. This is a beautiful poem.
Glad you enjoyed it Cynthia. True story! We met again a year later and he didn’t disappear that time. 🙂 Thanks for visiting.
Hi Debbie,
Lovely powerful lines I’d say – and I love the way you sum it up by saying less, yet it means so much. 🙂
Thanks for sharing – loved it honestly 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it, Harleena. I never know where the muse will take me. 😉 Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend.
Interesting short piece. I also like the pictures.
Thanks for visiting Joyce. 🙂 Glad you liked it.
You are a devil in disguise, friend Debbie. Love the poem, special effects and want to learn more, please.
😀 True story! We met up again a year later and this time he did NOT disappear. Glad you enjoyed it, Charmaine.
Nice little tale told in rhyme! 🙂
Thanks Teresa. I bet you were looking for WeWriWa though. 😉 ‘Tis here now and thanks for dropping by.
Very deep my friend. 🙂
LOL Just a little amusing tale. True story though; we met again a year later and this time he didn’t disappear! 😀 Thanks for visiting, Bren.
This is a beautiful poem Debbie…you certainly have the gift for it my friend 🙂
Glad you liked it, Corina. Based on a true story and guess what? We met up again a year later, and this time he didn’t disappear. 😀
Ah gee, Debbie–I didn’t know you were such a poet! loved it. heeheehee
Sometimes, Mary! 😀 I go where the muse takes me. Glad you liked it
A very cool poem!
Thanks Kiril and welcome to my blog. 🙂
Love it, Debbie! But I was waiting for a punchline about one of your handsome four-legged friends 🙂
Great poem – really enjoyed it!
