Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Footle

Bi-Polar Lovers

Men meet
And greet.

Friends wait
Then, date

Tough boys
Share toys.

Cute Girls 
Wear pearls

They walk
And talk.

Love bursts
At first

The hitch --
Mood switch

He tries
She sighs

Words heat
Not Sweet

Trifles
Stifle

Hearts scream
No gleam.

Dreams die
Good bye.

Bad blend
The end

Chris Green December 29, 2016 at 11:17 AM This was cute Dane Ann, I liked the...Hi, how are you - beat it, leave me alone, aspect to this. Sounds like a few of my relationships. : ) Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen December 29, 2016 at 11:23 AM LOL Unfortunately, it isn't as easy as this poem makes it sound! lol I'm so glad you enjoyed this fun little write. :)

Jan Allison December 29, 2016 at 10:34 AM great string of fab footles I do love this form Dane Ann:-) hugs jan xx Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen December 29, 2016 at 11:04 AM It is a fun form. I did have one couplet that reversed the rhythm pattern. I thought it appropriate for the reverse in mood swings that can really effect relationships that bi-polar people live with. I still called the poem a footle. What do you think?
