much

it was love at first sight
that's what I thought.
I anticipated much-
river of emotions
to flow in between.

"but he was so enthralled by
friday night football"

    In the early days of infatuation, or football or anything you can to love, then something else.

    LOL, so true…but lots of time to read and write poetry, when the game is on.

    :D lol!!! Awesome!

    I in fact recalled a conversation between some of my friends when I was in college. A friend got a date from a pretty looking girl. On the same day we had a match, a football match. The match got extended and poor him, alas in the joy of victory forgot about the date!

    BTW you got a very clean and nice blog! I liked it!

    Right on Tami! I just went through that this afternoon with Mrs. Jim!

    She had the nerve to ask me to help her find something (a picture of a grandkid) when my team was behind seven points and only four minutes remained in the game.

    loved that 'river of emotions in between'

    but watching a football game always spoils those river of emotions, again and again! grrrrr!

    loved it that much GT!

    Good one...I hadn't even thought about this perspective because I make it my 'alone time' when Hubs is into football.

    Yes for many women a deal breaker but I just do what I want during football season, usually shopping, watching a movie, nap, whatever...

    River of emotions.

    Wow.

    I love the ebb and flow of your words.

    They are as powerful as the tide.

    Lovely.
