Gentle Murmurs

Words sweet!
My muse murmurs:
love's treat

I sigh!
With each nuance:
he's nigh

I melt!
Promised pleasures:
ALL felt

Dr Upma...I have my reasons for not joining. I don't always join contests. I only join when I feel that I have something that is really good. I also join if I feel that I have a legitimate chance to win. I don't set myself up for failure as it is very disheartening for me. I've read the entries...this is mediocre at best. Thank you for your love and care.

Eileen, you should enter it. I'm glad you persisted. Who would have thought that seemingly such a simple form could be so difficult. I too struggled with something that would fit the theme and actually made sense. You have accomplished both epithet this one.

Thank you, Richard. I've read some poems that have been written in this form, and I know mine is mediocre...Perhaps next time. Yours is still my favorite.....I fall....that last stanza....the sweetest.

I do like to be provocative, Tim. Thanks for the visit.

You have tackled this one excellently, Eileen. You can't promise us pleasure and then in the same breath insert the word "perhaps"; make sure you enter it for the contest!! I love it! I'm still not happy with all the ones I've written:( // paul

Yours is rather sweet, Paul. Thanks to Charmaine, I found out that my rhyme scheme wasn't right. I fixed it since you last visited, but it is not for the contest. Thanks for the visit.

Hey that's a great entry Eileen, don't hesitate to add that to the contest. That's one hard contest to write for and you knocked it out of the park.

Thank you for your kind words, Robert. I've decided to give this contest a miss. I appreciate the visit. I've done some changes since you last visited. I had missed the concept of rhyme scheme.
