for first love is hard.
What lunatic waits to be jilted
by a girl he never laid eyes on?

What lunatic waits to be jilted

For Poets United
I am that luna-tic! Wonderful poem!
Skywatcher has to endure that 🙂
Wonderful and epic in feel, Khaya.
I love it, Khaya!
Better to have loved and lost than never to have trembled at all!
Fellow lunatic here. LOVE it.
Oh I love this!❤️ First love is indeed the hardest and the most memorable ☺️
I like it!
That is the foolishness of man as the need is greater that reason, yet the quest has taken us to realms previously unkown.
Love ‘skywatcher’.
This is good!!! Love this Khaya! Big Hugs!
The “inconstant moon”, eh? She refused to put in an appearance for me last night – well, actually, was prevented by cloud – but still I always watch for Her.
Q. What kind of lunatic waits to be jilted by a girl he has never laid eyes on?

Thank you, Sara!
Thank you dear, Stacy. Big Hugs!
She has her favourites but we can always hope for a glimpse.
Thank you Rall, you made my day. I’m smiling. 🙂
True on both accounts. 🙂
Perhaps just temporary insanity caused by the changeable moon…Love this Khaya! 🙂
The hardest, the yummiest, and the strangest all in one…
Hope so too, Ally. Thank you. 🙂
A wild thing, I say! 🙂
Luna can be tricky.
Yes, indeed.
Pure magic, Khaya and one that invites questioning, reasoning where perhaps there are no answers or clarity! Beautiful.
You made me smile, Annika. Thank you!
She was my first love… my father could never live up to my expectations when I asked him to take down the moon…
Oh, my word! Take down the moon? Who could live up to such an expectation! 🙂
I was that lunatic. In love with the idea of love..
Look at what love can do! Thank you for reading, Eric.
