Grammatically Speaking

love was a lonely Syllable Embedded hypothetically in the syntax of the Story of You and Me We quoted , I love you And you , sic [loved me] But perhaps this was Your hyperbole Parenthesis you kept [Me] in, Frenetically in case our verbs became nouns No verisimilitude Imbedded logically the allusion Came alive Described So speciously All too clear Once I chose To study The history No, The Plot discovered, This was My own soliloquy Dear Apostrophe , you and I We are not Like simile Truth be told I only resemble Footnotes In the ledger Of your Poetry

I love this, and it made me chuckle. I love how you grammatically speak throughout your poem... And even though your Apostrophe and you are not like simile, I do not think you are nothing but a footnote in a ledger. Great poetry, this, thank you.
