Robyn Campbell Poet Free verse

Love

only this
dinner together
most of the time
                while we watch 
                the world stretch
through the
cracks of boredom
and we sift our problems
                with the world's
                to make our lives
appear perfect
or more stainless steel
and unmarred than most
                when in reality
                our lives together
are white-bread
garden-variety
dime a dozen
                that's love

Susan Walker January 3, 2016 at 4:22 PM This poem tells a full story. It pulls the reader in and doesn't let go until the end. It makes me take a breath in when I've read the whole thing. That's my definition of a good poem. Excellent and complete.
