Love Was My Weakness-Monotetra

There is a weakness I must fight Bane of my emotional plight Holding me in its grasp too tight My kryptonite My kryptonite I always thought that I was strong and with this man I did belong Love has me singing a torch song My heart was wrong My heart was wrong When I felt I was past the pain and from his grip I could abstain Twas then I felt my courage wane He called again He called again Love blinds me to what I should see My heart and mind do not agree Amorous thoughts wash over me Love, set me free Love, set me free Love blinds me to imperfection but after honest reflection My heart has no more objection To protection To protection October 5, 2021 Your Kryptonite Contest Sponsor: Anthony Biaanco

Wonderful write, Jenna. The repetition in the last line of each stanza is very powerful! Blessings, Paulette

This type of poem is new to me. I must search for it. A lovely romantic poem. Hope you'll read mine with a tongue in the cheek but alas it's rather long.

It's 8 syllables per line and then a repeat of 4 syllables...all rhyming. I did read your romantic poem and left a comment.

Hi Jenna, thanks for commenting on my Haiku (which is actually not a Haiku but a different poetic form). I really appreciate your feedback, I kind of write in the dark with little input so its awesome to hear form you. Love your Kryptonite poem, yay Superman! Made me smile, cheers Jen

I loved the format most, Jenna, with the repeating refrain. Superb writing, I think. Your rhymes were really fine, too.

Brilliant Jenna, I can sense the ambivalence, but it goes beyond that, the tearing of yourself apart, human intellect at war against human impulses, our greatest weaknesses and strengths, yet equally powerful in there own way, you smashed this one, cheers David

The heart usually wins over the mind and then regrets it. Thank you, David.
