Little Did I Know

Little did I know...

I turned a cheek to your flaws,
loved you unconditionally.
I believed you were a spinster
Little did I know...

Like crops dependent on rainfall.
I thought you would be mine forever.
I dreamed of my heir between
your chest and thighs...

I had no car but
was quick to your summon.
You told me I was the one.
I contemplated marriage...

Little did I know
you were not a spinster,
and that you heartless
husband would put me in a wheelchair

Gavin, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
