A Form of Words

oh love,love me do
with sweet poems,old and new
or odes that ring true

my darling,don't fret,
dearest heart my number one;
see how I've begun
with end rhyme we'll have fun,or
maybe sonnet or tercet

on no,not flowery words
too obscure and seldom heard,
such poetry's no better
than prose by letter

I enjoyed this poem Brian. I would like to thank you for all the contests you've taken your time to set up and judge for us. Good as well as an enjoyable learning experience for me in the contest itself and reading the ones chosen as good, better and best. Thanks again- Robert

Creative and inspiring write. I remembered Mark twain that too many adjectives or flowery language kill the meaning, Brian
