Peter Bryce Poet Couplet

Narcissus

I think that I shall never see
A poem near as nice as me.

When I spy my own reflection 
Sultry suitors face rejection.

Such noble brow, bright eyes flash blue
My smile so suave, teeth twinkle too.

Fine profile, Greek, ideal shot, 
Six pack of abs, my body’s hot.

So long I’ll linger by this pool
Though deemed one self-indulgent fool.

A thousand years from now, you’ll see, 
Gardeners still will cherish me!

Margarita Lillico March 4, 2022 at 5:58 PM Boy, what an ingenious premise, to begin with! And then comes the wit and a crafty pen followed by my ultimate pride to have this “ideal shot” of a poem in my contest! Congrats! M. Peter Bryce March 4, 2022 at 6:03 PM I ECHO your praise ;) Great poetic responses to a titillating topic.

Sam Kauffman March 1, 2022 at 2:30 PM What a nice blending of the myth and the lovely, but self centered, narcissus. Love the tongue in cheek! Best wishes for the contest. Peter Bryce March 1, 2022 at 4:14 PM Thanks Sam, lots of grist to be found in the myth mill :)
