One Was Two

Away for the weekend With friends, for a chance To relax, recover, Maybe to dance. Sitting in the hotel lounge Observing all I could Saw a couple obviously not married Trying to act as they should. Felt like saying, go on hold hands Look into each others eyes Whisper sweet nothings But tell no lies. Wish i had a someone To be close too Wouldn't care a damn Well, would you? Instead will go sightseeing Some retail therapy too Drinks in the evening Still wishing one was two.

I'm still reading, still observing, here in the shadows at times. I also know this all too well. I am starting to see your diversity. You enter many contest, maybe to try new forms, maybe to show support, but you are versatile in your writing. Nice poem.

yes I enter contests mainly to try different forms, and out of politeness to the person who has organised it.

I understand this all too well. "Whisper sweet nothings, but tell no lies": A vital line. Nice job!
