Anticipating the Wait
Legs slowly extend
moments push and bend
I sigh
must the morning end
as sun meets the skin
deep sigh
Eyes close once again
sheets are folding in
oh my
Fingers are tracing
a day in waiting
like this
air is exciting
lips are inviting
oh yes
Stay in my morning
anticipating
such bliss

Something playful and romantic
Form of Poetry - Lai
The lai is another French form. It’s a nine-line poem or stanza that uses an “a” and “b” rhyme following this pattern: aabaabaab. The lines with an “a” rhyme use 5 syllables; the “b” rhyme lines have 2 syllables. It feels kind of like organized skeltonic verse.
