Robert Heemstra Poet Couplet

Bad Dream At Night

to write a wrong
won't make you strong

letters can hurt
feeling like dirt

face to face
no disgrace

for the flame is dead
my heart became lead

I had three swings of the bat
can't see nothing wrong with that

you will say I'm this or that
may even say that I'm fat
 
after you there is no other
for you was never a bother 

departing will bring sorrow
won't see sunshine tomorrow

for three marriages I had
last one made me really glad

this departure just a dream
oh my lord I can just scream

Skat A July 26, 2015 at 2:55 AM the first two stanzas are golden:), enjoyed your couplets ~S.K.A.T. Robert Heemstra July 26, 2015 at 10:28 AM Thank you S.K.A.T. I often heard you can't right a wrong, but how about writing a wrong? Than I was thinking of those "Dear John letters."

Robert Lindley July 25, 2015 at 8:33 PM I can relate. Currently at my third time at bat but this time a home run is a solid gold certainty. Enjoyed reading these couplets.. Robert Heemstra July 26, 2015 at 10:32 AM Thank you Robert, wishing you two the very best!
