Sincerely Yours

I am your fatalistic optimist
Your sweetest selfish tryst
I strut before you naked
As I hide beneath our bed
I am your greatest battle
Yes the one who loves you best
I am sincerely yours forever
Until our lives are spent

Lin Lane Date: 5/5/2017 7:31:00 AM I like this one just the way it is, Maureen. You didn't intend for it to be rhyming poetry so it doesn't need any changes. Hugs and forbearance with others who differ in opinion. ;-) Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 5/5/2017 7:49:00 AM Thank you Lin, for this and for the warm soup hug.

Darren White Date: 5/5/2017 12:51:00 AM Très beaux, ma mo. It's a free verse, but it still has a rhythm to it. Absolutely beautiful, all those emotions running around in your small poem, Simply gorgeous.

Annette Gagliardi Date: 5/4/2017 10:50:00 PM Great sentiment. If you read this out loud, you can sense the cadence. You have it almost . . . the third line needs a couple more syllables- to match to line one. You could workshop this poem and find some end-line rhymes for 'tryst' (which rhymed with Optimist), battle works, but doesn't rhyme with best . Did you know rhymezone.com offers a way to find some rhyming words. Check it out.
