Dating Poets

I've dated poets most of my life
So I could talk back and forth in rhyme

Sounds a bit  odd to some I know
But it helps with the conversations flow

That is where my mind is at
Poetry in every breath

Speak to me in hyperbole's
Sure fire way to get what you please

Sweet imagery entices me
Otherwise I may not have seen 

It helps to shine a different light
When you date poets most of your life

Mike...It's been AGES! :) This is a great poem. Love it. I never dated a poet. I can't imagine having two in the same house. There would never be any napkins left.
