Okay, 'fess up: who here has been harboring a secret crush on me this whole time?

[BlueIris]

I think I know who you are, but I want to read some admissions.

[Lethe]

1. u caught me!

[Downtown Hound]

2. Me

Heh, you probably don't even know who I am.

But the flag sort of made me realize that I didn't have much of a chance. ;)

4. Lots of DUers have the rainbow flag to show our support

for GLBT members of the community. Call Me Wesley and I are straight and married (to each other) and we both have versions of the rainbow flag in our siglines. :)

And I agree: BlueIris is definitely crush-worthy. :hi:

[BlueIris]

6. The flag is there to signal support for the world's GLBT community.

And because I think it looks less homophobic than "straight but not narrow."

8. Ah, my bad.

It's hard to tell sometimes you know? Well, my secret is out now.

[Swede]

3. La Belle Dame Sans Merci

Oh what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has withered from the lake,
And no birds sing.

Oh what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
So haggard and so woe-begone?
The squirrel's granary is full,
And the harvest's done.


I see a lily on thy brow,
With anguish moist and fever-dew,
And on thy cheeks a fading rose
Fast withereth too.


I met a lady in the meads,
Full beautiful - a faery's child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.


I made a garland for her head,
And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;
She looked at me as she did love,
And made sweet moan.


I set her on my pacing steed,
And nothing else saw all day long,
For sidelong would she bend, and sing
A faery's song.

She found me roots of relish sweet,
And honey wild, and manna-dew,
And sure in language strange she said -
'I love thee true'.


She took me to her elfin grot,
And there she wept and sighed full sore,
And there I shut her wild wild eyes
With kisses four.



And there she lulled me asleep
And there I dreamed - Ah! woe betide! -
The latest dream I ever dreamt
On the cold hill side.



I saw pale kings and princes too,
Pale warriors, death-pale were they all;
They cried - 'La Belle Dame sans Merci
Hath thee in thrall!'



I saw their starved lips in the gloam,
With horrid warning gaped wide,
And I awoke and found me here,
On the cold hill's side.



And this is why I sojourn here
Alone and palely loitering,
Though the sedge is withered from the lake,
And no birds sing.

[Heidi]

5. You are my girl crush of the day, BlueIris.

Thanks for your poem threads. I read them all, though I don't have time every day to post a comment. :hi:

:hug:

[BlueIris]

7. Thanks, Heidi!

[BlueIris]

9. So, truly, who pines for me?

[BlueIris]

10. Loungers, I'm hurt. This is terrible.

Where will I find my secret crush if not on DU???

[BlueIris]

11. Secret crush-havers, post here.

[regnaD kciN]

13. But if someone tells you they have a secret crush on you...

...they don't have a secret crush on you anymore, do they? ;-)

[BlueIris]

15. True. But I thought some folks would like to take the time to unburden themselves.

[Omphaloskepsis]

12. You live in Oregon...

That place is a shithole.. Why would a rational person live in that state?

[BlueIris]

14. So I take it you are not one of those who has a secret crush on me.

Thanks, hon. You never called your doctor, did you?

[BlueIris]

16. Kick.

[BlueIris]

17. Kick.

[cobalt1999]

18. Stop kicking me!

You're going to ruin the crush I have on you. :hi:

[BlueIris]

19. Oh ye of little faith.

Obviously, our love is very durable.
