Beauty Was Your Name

I seem to recall
Beauty was your name,
At least I thought so,
You appealed to me
I wanted you, and

You wanted me.
Yes, I could tell,
Your eyes betrayed
you, Beautiful.

Eyes smiling,
now twinkling,
I can tell.

I shall
call you

love.

Well done, Milt. You've mastered so many forms. I can hardly find time to write a few poems a week in a few forms. You inspire me. Bill

Thank you so much, Bill. Actually, I'm an avid word game player, so I find many of the poetry forms to involve careful word play, i.e. terza rima, villanelle, etal. Then, I enjoy repeating lines, as in triolets and quaterns. I just love poetry, Bill, and now that I have nothing else particularly to do, I can devote most of my time to it. I appreciate your reads and your comments so much.

Yep. Thanks, Caren. I've been going through a sentimental spell. The SADD keeps trying to drag me down, and I keep fighting like the devil to keep my head up!
