Notes About The Poem

Nine beautiful lines (with a twist) contest Sponsored by Constance La France, 4/4/25

 

Will you marry me

Sue's
surprise
birthday treat.
A romantic
picnic on the beach
with roses and champagne.
Bill kneels down, and proposes
then produces a diamond ring
Will she marry him ... what do you think?

Duke Beaufort Date: 4/9/2025 4:20:00 PM Jan, the poem is so well constructed, I am sure she would say yes. Yet I love that you leave it up to us....that gives readers a chance to think about our own experiences and think about the circumstances. Great poem and poetic technique!!! Smiles! Login to Reply

Lin Lane Date: 4/4/2025 8:58:00 AM I don't know. Does she love him? To be continued? lol Jan. I'm just kidding you. You've entered a different take on nine lines but different can be refreshingly good. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 4/4/2025 9:58:00 AM I discovered i could do a reverse nonet so it worked well with the last line being 9 syllables. I hope Constance likes it - its rare for me to write romantic lines lol. got some penguin humour i will post later xx
