I long to hold you close, my sweet.
For I must whisper in your ear,
The words I hope you wish to hear,
Upon the day when first we meet.
I'd love to hold your hand and squeeze -
Just a little, if you don't mind.
You could squeeze back, if so inclined -
Which just might send me to my knees.

The sky's the limit - We'll go far,
As we both fuel our shared ascent.
I'll strive to be a perfect Gent,
To match the Lady as you are.
We'll both be free to start anew,
Surrounded by what you've long missed,
That you may live, not just exist -
As this is what I dream for you.
This brief and simple piece is a Yeats Octave written for Day Two of
ProjectDFC 's December Form Challenge 2015

As brief and simple as this is, it took me quite a while to write. I'm a bit disappointed with this one. However, my goal is to try to keep up with submitting a DFC poem a day, or at least not get too far behind. I found myself in a rut, using simple words and familiar imagery. Still, it has personal meaning for me, and is meant to have the same for someone special to me. I hope it is an enjoyable few minutes of reading for you.  
                                                                                                                               
DFC Day at a Glance (#2)Hello, and welcome to :icondailylitrecognition: and :iconprojectdfc:'s 
Day at a Glance
We're SOOPAH excited to have you all here.  Hopefully, you're ready for a challenge--this month is going to be EPIC.
You may have noticed, if you've already scoped out the :iconprojectdfc:  (Form Chart), there's something fishy afoot!  Let's take a look, yes?  In the words of our esteemed Mistress of Words, kiwi-damnation ...
This year is about world regions, with 5 major regions with 6 forms each and a wild card with 1. That totals 31. When a day is allocated to a region, for example "The Middle East", you can choose from the 6 presented. Once you have used that form though, you can't use it again.
This means our "Day at a Glance" posts will be separated BY FORM each day, to give a more in-depth look at one specific option.  If you picked a different form to focus on, don't panic--we'l
