Andrea Dietrich Poet Sonnet

A Gallivanting Romeo

A gallivanting Romeo, he rode
into my world, so handsome and unique.
Finesse with a seductive gaze he showed!
The few times that I saw him, he would seek
a rendezvous with me. I had a ring
on my left finger, and I do not stray
from my commitments. Yet my heart would sing
to see his gaze! For strength I had to pray.
Precarious was my position. He
tried hard to make me acquiesce, but I
would not give in - though dreams of ecstasy
assailed me! Then I learned about his lie. . .
I called him on it. Nonchalant he grew.
There should have been a ring on HIS hand too!

May 10, 2018 for Emile Pinet's  New Poems (8 difficult words) Contest
The eight words are these: ecstasy, rendezvous, unique, finesse, precarious,
gallivanting, nonchalant, acquiesce

James Horn May 11, 2018 at 8:55 AM While my horse was gallantly gallivanting, Soon out of breath, he had been panting, And did die; Don't know why; Damp daisies on grave will be planting.

Bette Bavington May 11, 2018 at 1:26 AM This is a great poem to show that not all is as it seems. That a person who is unfaithful will always be that way. I praise the good person for not giving in and destroying their life. It was a really nice Read.
