Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Monorhyme

When You Said-

When You Said…

“…That's why no one likes you…”
My self-image went askew.
Stunned, my heart turned very blue
    when painful thoughts began their coup.
I tried to render hurt eschew.
As through my head it flew.
It happened ere the morning dew
Had brought its early view.
But nothing stopped your angry spew
Nor the pain that pierced me through.
I wondered if you even knew.
Angry words can stick like glue.
I tried my best forgiving you.
     as self-loathing began to brew. 
It happened ere the morning dew
Had brought its early view.
Although I think you have no clue.
How your words in my thoughts grew.
Here are the words I have for you.
I love you and shall not say adieu.
Prayerfully I have prayed at the pew.
It happened ere the morning dew
Had brought its early view.

Andrea Dietrich January 21, 2010 at 6:41 AM wow, you sure went thru a lot of the "U" words with this monorhyme, Dane Ann. The poem uses a lot of the same words that are in a poem of mine I was gonna post soon (it's a kyrielle and half its rhyme is with "u") And the topic is similar too!! An interesting read, dear!
