Black Eyed Susan Poet Couplet

Fall-Ing In Love

It started out as a harmless flirtation
Nothing serious for three week’s of vacation

But Fall’s cool breeze must have blown love in
For we instantly connected, our souls akin

Soon we were spending all of our days together
And I knew he wasn’t just strutting his feathers

He liked me for me and he was genuine too,
I wasn’t his “toots,” his “babe,” or “hey you”

And suddenly the world was a novelty,
One I had never explored, and was eager to see

All because he saw past my scarecrow disguise
And pulled out the love, harvested inside
