Darling, my dearest
harken my babbling,
my dabbling at wooing
I wish it would do
and maybe to hasten
your heartbeat
from largo to presto;
I might blabber a bit,
but my lack of coherence
is simply because
your presence
subdues me to sunshine.

Björn Rudbergs writings 
I loved it
Oh my GOODNESS. This bit right here has so much fun sound bump I can hardly stand it:
“harken my babbling,
my dabbling at wooing”
So much rhythm, too. LOVE it.
This is incredibly exquisite, Bjorn! 😀 I love the wordplay here especially; “I wish it would do and maybe to hasten your heartbeat
from largo to presto.” 💝💝
“Your presence subdues me to sunshine”- beautiful!
Internal onomatopoeic rhyming, the hastening of the ‘heartbeat
from largo to presto’, and the wonderful oxymoron at the end. Wow!
What a dapper dabbler at wooing you have created here, Bjorn. The ending is as charming as an old-fashioned English gent!
I can imagine the man in the painting saying just this! 😀
I love “subdues me to sunshine” – I’d be quite happy for someone to say that to me.
That look on her face says it all. A fool for love comes to mind. Good luck to him! An indulgent smile beats a frown every time.
ah the awkward suitor, you do these characters so well, so believable!
Humor and romance, the perfect Monday poetic. You did structure this like a 19th century dabble; kudos.
To be subdued by sunshine is a lovely image.
And this is exactly why My Beloved Sandra so often simply cocks her head, squints, and smiles when I’m finished driveling.
Awesome work, BR.
There you go being romantic again, Bjorn. You do it so well!
There you go being romantic again, Bjorn. You do it so well!
Lovely piece – and like most romantic poetry full of irony. Here I am being highly articulate about how inarticulate you make me – Ha.
This is SO sweet, Björn.
And I really loved the last line:
All best,
David
subdued to sunshine great line
Wow. This is beautiful. The last line really does it for me. Good writing!
“Your presence subdues me to sunshine” is SUCH a great line! The entire poem complements the painting perfectly.
Lovely!
Nice☺ luv the team up image too
Happy Monday
Much💝love
Not a dabbler at all. He’s got wooing down to a fine art. Lovely.
Enjoyed this Bjorn, dabbling, babbling and blabbering, how to find the right words to entice a lover. I think she would be quite taken with this suitor.
Oh, you are a charmer! Dabbling at romance is an art that takes a lifetime to learn!
Nice play of words.
I enjoyed the alliteration and charming voice in this short piece. The picture pairs perfectly! 💕
I read it out loud again it sounds so amazing!
You presence subdues me to sunshine 🙂
What a great line! Love the dabbling mixed with the babbling.
