Cooing Wooing

He parted his thin lips to speak but stuttered and only broken sounds came from his breath. He wanted to express his love but uttered something that just scared his girl to death. With every vain attempt the words he muttered often sounded like the cooing of a dove and with these bird sounds she became quite fluttered much wanting to hear words of sincere love. She whispered something softly in his timid ear something that would cease his crazy coo. In a silent smile he told her this he wanted to hear, the clean, cut uttered words of “I love you.” 10/5/20 COMPLETELY YOUR CHOICE(29) Sponsor: Brian Strand

Janis, I loved your poem and it would have received Gold except you missed the "-Collaboration" title requirement disappointingly.
