Pay It Forward 7-4-2018

The baristas at Go Dog Go Cafe are big fans of Pay It Forward Thursdays. We think it is a great opportunity to give a shout-out to another writer who has wowed us or creatively inspired us.  However, Pay It Forward Thursday has not been getting a lot of love lately, which we think is a shame. Dear reader, you are losing out on some great writing! We’ve decided to shake things up a little and the baristas will be reblogging our Pay It Forward picks for the week directly onto GDG Cafe so you don’t miss out on our favorites.

We like this idea so much that we will also reblog the posts you think were the best thing you read this week if you drop a link below. You are invited to post one link to one specific post (600 words or less please!) from someone…

silent love

Be Sure to come and enjoy Andrew’s romantic love poem – SILENT LOVE

The Lonely Author

silent love

.

My college sweetheart

Was a mute

With a warm heart

That always spoke to me

We held hands in the park

Stole kisses in the hallway

Made tender love

When my parents weren’t home

In her moments of sadness

She trembled in my arms

As she cried silent tears

That so badly needed to scream

She couldn’t whisper I love you

And by never saying it

My speechless lover taught me

Love is more than just a word

.

Dedicated to the girl I dated in college.

He’s so in love with you.

Honestly, the number of crappy relationships we’ve been in has blinded us from the actual good guys out there. The right guy is out there, we just need a little help spotting him in a sea of jerks.

1. He’ll never go a day without reminding you how much he loves you.

You’ll constantly feel like a priority in his life. Finally, you’ve found someone who means as much to you as you do to him.

2. And will do everything in his power to earn your trust.

He wants you to be comfortable and confident in your relationship. The very cornerstone of this is being able to trust someone , and he will realize that. And he knows this isn’t something that’s just handed over to someone, he has to work for it.

3. He’ll be your courage when yours go missing…

The Fragrant Fog ~ #poetry #AugustWriting

~ thereluctantpoet

Night Owl Poetry - Dorinda Duclos

A mist, rolling off the meadow

Carries a fragrance meant to please

Each droplet of water caresses

Every inch of the forest trees

Blanketing the russet leaves

Wrapping them in sweet embrace

The fog, though, soon will vanish

And the waking sun will grace

The colors, and beauty of nature

Once hidden in a veil of mist

Now drenched in dew, delighted

Aroused, by morning’s first kiss
