Since I Met You

You turned my whole world upside down
When we met in a bar in my home town
I’m full of smiles, I don’t get down

                    Since I met you

Did destiny bring you my way
I’m feeling full of joy today
Fear forsaken, my world's not dull and grey

                    Since I met you

I’m breathless like I’ve run a race
My emotions are all over the place
I cannot wipe the smile off my face

                    Since I met you

My heart is no longer full of strife
You proposed, now I’m to be your wife
I’m having the best time of my life

                    Since I met you

Thanks Mike it was originally for the contest but when the rule about the refrain was amended to have to be one chosen by the sponsor I removed the poem from soup, as I couldn't alter it for the contest I re-posted it anyway and have written a new one for the contest now:-) hugs Jan xx

This was my original contest poem but the rules weren't clear that we had to use one of the 4 refrains given by the sponsor and it was impossible to change the refrain as the poem just didn't make sense.:-( hugs Jan xx

Lovely poem, Jan. When inspiration comes it doesn't always respect confinements. I love the form you gave your poem. Most uplifting and superbly done.

I can't submit it Harry and it just doesn't make sense if I use one of the required refrains. I will try and write again but it takes me so long to type with 1 hand out of action. Have got time to hope my muse will behave and give me a new idea:-) hugs Jan xx
