Hey you! I see you took my advice. So since I started this fiasco, welcome and here:

Even when things are looking bad,
The small pleasures remain.
A whole day without commitments,
And the pitter patter of the rain.

^ I a slightly confused here by the third and fourth line: you did not want the rain or the commitments OR did you mean it as in no commitments and the (adjective like comforting) rain? Either way, I really like the way you drew us in, I like the sounds of the rain and how you started this piece off so simply, gently, kindly.

The warm scent of pasta,
Or of freshly cut grass,
Or when that one girl passes by you,
And you notice that a-

^ I like how you give examples of happy or comforting things following the rain. That is a nice connection, especially since you are opening up your words to allow a greater variety of readers to relate. But then your ... sense of humor... kicks in. I enjoy the way you used dashes to show that your mind went one place and what you wanted to really say was something totally different.

Assets are best treasured,
In the comfort of one's home,
Like that one time she came over
And gave me do-

^ Interesting stanza. Although other than the last line I actually enjoyed it quite a bit.

Door's hinges a nice fix
Since they did a bad creak,
Now let's get back to those small pleasures,
Or we'll be here all week.

^ Cute twist, definitely not where the readers mind was likely going. Although your attempted use of syntax in the second line was not terribly well done, you probably should have stuck with something like "since they had a bad creak" - but hey whatever. Your piece give it the personality you want. (And believe me, this piece definitely has your personality.

A day full of hot chocolate,
Warm and sweet,
Like that one time she opened her mouth,
And ate all my s-

^I have no words for this stanza, except that I really was hoping you'd turn it around and let the rest of the piece actually be sweet... but oh was that wishful thinking :P

-Sweet strawberry ice cream,
On a warm summer's day,
Whilst basking in the sunset,
laying down on soft hay.

^ YAY! Finally, real, decent, joyful imagery without your disgusting flair! YAY!

Driving late at night
All around the block,
Then coming back home to
Play with your friend's c-

^ I honestly wanted to give up when I got this stanza, but you actually got me to laugh, with the following line so I kept reading.

Cocker Spaniel that is about
Twice your size,
Then going out to In-N-Out
To get some animal fries.

^ Maybe it's just me, but I've never seen an In-n-Out comment on this site anywhere - so that's incredible. And I give you props for adding your "culture" location and some semi-decency to your piece.

Long walks on the beach,
Feeling the sea breeze,
The cascading waves that put
Your soul at ease.

^ Ooh, yay more sweetness, maybe later you can string together all the ... kinder stanzas of this into their own piece :P

The soft flames of the bonfire
That warm up the place,
Then she comes along
And she gets on your f-

Facebook and she posts up
The pictures of tonight,
As you laugh and enjoy yourselves
Bathing in the moonlight.

^ The ending surprised me. It was happy and humorous and fun. Creative write in a fashion that is difficult to pull off and far too under tried. There are quite a few other pieces like this on the site, if you're interested.

ya right here, small pleasure always give smile on your face.

Alex,

A warm welcome to the site and can I just say thank you for adding some much needed humour to my day! This is excellent stuff.

All the best and keep posting,

Ben
