know
you love her
we’ve seen you
two together
inseparable separates
two halves of a whole
why how act shy now?
be direct already
isn’t it time to put a ring on it?
can guess she thinks yes
go ahead
tie that gnarly knot!

Linking to quadrille prompt at dVerse where Mish has chosen the word “knot”….

This made me smile 🙂 sometimes you just need to take the plunge!

YES!

It seems people are waiting longer today, but it will always be a leap of faith. The gnarly knot is beautifully displayed in your image! ❤

Thank you, Tricia 🙂

I love your gnarly knot! Great poem Lynn. It does make one wonder sometimes when we see two people in love and enjoying life, but never decide to get married!

Thanks for commenting, Dwight…I agree 🙂

This is so sweet. And I really like your choice to call it a gnarly knot. Marriage isn’t always easy. 😊

Exactly…tangled and sometimes downright gnarly 😉

The “gnarly” knot added a bit of twist at the end. It struck me like a story, making me wonder what’s in store for them….

We cannot see the future!

“inseparable separates” such a simple truth but stated so beautifully!
Mar 22, 2021 @ 16:36:07
Thank you, Evan!

Like your bold advice and playful tone. It’s a gnarly one, indeed.
Mar 22, 2021 @ 16:35:34
I appreciate your appreciation 🙂

Sounds like the situation with my older son and his girlfriend! Maybe one day…
Mar 22, 2021 @ 16:11:53
Hope they do, Lisa 🙂

“Gnarly” – that’s an interesting choice of word.
Mar 22, 2021 @ 16:11:15
Thanks, David!

Tying the knots should be a decision for life… maybe they are not quite ready yet.

Written “tongue in cheek”…you’d have to know the couple very well to even suggest marriage 🙂
