At Last, a Couplet
Couplet form poetry, to me you are so elusive
My mind a stage as you act like a fugitive
Letters and words are playing hide and seek
Hidden in my thoughts, I must know the trick
Every two lines where ending syllables rhyme
I started to hunt phrases with patience of time
Shall it take years of scribbling out a piece
Now I focus to inscribe, evading the abyss
Afraid this might not be as good as others' craft
Almost I crumple my simple unfinished draft
But slave I am of poetry's enthralling beauty
I ought to complete my first couplet entry
- author's note -
my first Couplet attempt, didn't know
if I've done justice to the form :(
