I really enjoyed this poem and its message by @michellpiala. I'm an old man who frequently fails to understand my daughter's struggles as a woman. I just do things; she must conform to things. This was a nice reminder of how woman can break those chains and just be themselves.

I recommend @cryptocopy.

As I do my job as encourager, I am honored to stumble upon her poem. So beautifully written it talked about life as a movement. And show us different types of daily movement in there. The poem caught me by surprise when in the end it mentioned about life happens in moments. Check it out to know what I mean.
Thank you @freewritehouse.
Thanks for the recommendation!

I would like to suggest @cryptocopy for their poem. https://steemit.com/freewrite/@cryptocopy/not-like-a-wildflower-or-freewrite.
It draws a parallel between a flower's blooming lifecycle and true friends. Withering and becoming less cared for with age. It makes it hard to see who your true buds are amidst an ocean of weeds.
To appreciate what's left.

Under the newspapers that has led the wind
I find you covered my love,
today I want to tell you how much I feel
not have found warmth,
but if in the morning you find no consolation
more than a cruel look of bewilderment
do not doubt that there True, under the Amulet, Grudge,
but here on the ground, where there is no body
of you not forgotten the value...
Today I would like to recommend this Spanish poem by @saulos, I had it translated, so you won't have to. I have to admit, I read it slow in Spanish and it seemed to flow better than the translated version. I could be wrong, but I think that my Italian is close enough to Spanish, that when I read it slowly it sounded more romantic. @saulos if I am wrong please let me know. Loved it, either way! 👌
Thank you for recommend my poem, yes your are right, the musicality is intended in spanish, I do not have enough level to write it in english, perhaps in the future.
Greetings

Yes, she's my wife, but she also deserves notice for this one, especially! I feel like it evokes so many things we've talked about, like learning to love even gross things, and that that's important if you're going to go on a journey of forever with someone. Also, we have friends who open mouth kiss their dogs, and for a while we thought it was weird, but our boundaries have changed since then. Very sweet dog, lots of love. When you love someone, you want them to be happy, and if licking the inside of my mouth makes my dog happy, so be it.
