I Can'T Marry a Poetess

I can't marry a poetess,

Because her ink will be the language,
Spoken through my ears with words,
And rhythms then,
My heart will be hanged under the,
Bed of Shakespeare.

I can't marry a poetess,

She might forcefully push me in bed,
Just to ask me for the author of,
"Lonely Day" then,
The liquid in our pens will always battle.

I can't marry a poetess,

She will make me the ink of her pen.
She will starve me to feed from her pen,
Then poetry will be our end-meat.

I can't marry a poetess,

I'm now speechless, but let them,
Say what they have to say.
Jamesetta will kill me with poems,
Instead of a cake.

I can't marry a poetess,

She might expect me to describe her,
In the presence of romance.
Thought l love Jamesetta, but l prefer,
Rozetta.
I throw this question to you,
What would you do if you were me?

Darlene De Beaulieu February 15, 2021 at 11:44 AM Hello Amos I say sit down in a quiet and really ponder how your heart feels. With whom does your heart feel a strong bond with? Rozetta or Jamesetta? Then take it from there. The decisison is yours. Enjoy your day my friend. Amos Momo Ngumbu Jr February 22, 2021 at 3:28 AM Sure, it's mine. I need to sit and better decide for myself. Your comment means a lot to me. Thank so much.
