I love it when you say hi

Poem: I love it when you say hi

Not living in a fantasy land oh no

My feelings are real

They are not fictitious

When I think of you and I’m met with your gaze

It’s yummy and snug_a_licious

Ambitious to aim for your heart I know,

But this is where I’ve landed and there’s nowhere else to go

 

I love it when you say hi

I love it when you say hi

 

No need to try

But you make me go oooh, yipdee doo when you walk on by

I love it when you say hi

I so do love it when you say hi

 

Review: I love it when you say hi

Wow! what a striking impact of declaring admiration for someone but it doesn’t appear however that the poet has said any of this aloud or that the person who is admired even knows of this. I do not detect anything further going on other than a regular “hi’ being spoken and some eyeballing activity. Not much of a big deal is it? People say hello and hi all the time. Or it could be a big deal? How enchanting and seductive could this be if it was said out loud? If it was said to me, depending on who it is, what they’re about, and where it is said then I think I’d be immensely flattered and on the way to potentially being successfully charmed and wooed.  It’s nice to be liked and admired isn’t it?  But it could come across as something that’s a bit weird. Weird or cute? Too early in the poem to decide I think. I’ll be staying on the cute side of things for now.

Starting the poem with the announcement of

Not living in a fantasy land

Hmm. Let me have a bit of a ponder at that one poet.

You could well be. Ponder over

Here’s a thought.

Scenario 1)

This other person who you appear to have ‘the hots for’ might well be only doing their job… as a security officer perhaps and are looking at you for a prolonged period of time because that’s what they get paid to do. You may look and act a bit dodgy? Have you ever thought of it like that? They get trained on what to look out for don’t they (don’t take it personally)  poet. What are you doing with yourself to bring about this sort of attention?! Actually, don’t answer that.

Apologises if it appears that I have plunged straight into a pit of cynicism.

I’ll wipe my brow and take more of an alternative and innocent approach.

 

Scenario 2) Here goes

Strong feelings are being felt, yes.

I’m met with the rhyming and rhythm throughout the poem which creates a pleasing and energising flow with every word and delivers the message of love and admiration successfully to the reader at a good pace. I can’t help but smile when reading with rhythm. It’s yummy (as the poet says), yes.

I suspect there’s more to ‘hi’ because it’s an opener to saying much more and connecting. A conversation starter. Add to that a regular genuine heartfelt smile then you’re on the path to building something and having more solid established. If it’s then reciprocated, you’re on to a winner. (ooh! I feel liked ‘cupid’s P.A)

Snug_a_licious is interesting.

Snug and delicious. A nice word combo.

‘Snug’ to me is about being cosy right? The poet get’s this feeling when seeing this person.

It induces thoughts of wrapping up warm and to get the cushions and teddy bears out. Bring on those snuggling times! I’m not reading anything of a ‘phwoar’ factor nature at all taking place here. Maybe that’s to come later on? It may be approaching winter and being cosy is more of a priority! The sound of chattering teeth isn’t very attractive. Let’s be sensible here and let’s get prepared. Chop up the firewood and bring out the chiminea.

Repetition in the poem works effectively to enhance the sentiment of the love and admiration felt.

‘oooh, yipdee doo’ is a tame yet gorgeous acknowledgment of excitement received upon the person walking past.

As the reader I sure am curious to find out more. I want it out in the open.

It’s at the very early stages but it appears that poet has fallen in love and I’m loving it!

 A great little rhythmic and enchanting read.
