Need An Excuse

Need An Excuse Why would I ever need an excuse When I wanted to pursue a ruse Making love followed by romance At barroom while we would dance. Did dance around like on a carrousel Something about you seemed to compel? Me to have feeling so extraordinary Bright baby in future could you carry? But it had been like a flimflam affair And when it ended we did not care Was as if together we shared a room Being beautify bride with her groom. Ecstasy was now truly in the making Both of our breath's away was taking Why should we put off or even stall Then to each other we gave our all. Yes, for the moment surely did live And would give anything to retrieve All of the things that we have done When her hair was worn up in a bun. That night still appears in my dreams And when each time I think of it seems Forget it, I definitely never ever will Wonderful experience w did fulfil.

I've read many poems labeled 'couplet' James. Most of them are not. I truly enjoyed reading one which lived up to its name.

Most of my poems usually do, unless they are Horn Haiku which often rhyme and others say it is not supposed to. To me, originality and creativity are each an important element of poetry that a poet would have sealed in cement. Jim Horn
