      When many are the voices
         that few are the choices

      The resultant explosion
         is heard cross the ocean

Why should I care if sharing my truth causes offense?
In a world of shadow, is it not the one worthwhile defense?

You seemed like such a good group
That I bravely entered the loop.
Now my mind works in meters 
And couplets compete as
I O.D. on Poetry Soup!

My Unique Couplets

I’m as delicate as a Spring flower,
But stingy like a bee around this hour

I feel the aftershocks of our love,
Yet I long for your presence above

Fall Couplet

I like to look for the fall fae,
and I love to play in the leaves all day!

Sorry I'm not that good at couplets. It's actually my first one! Hope you like!

Couplets For a Loved One

soft jasmine
your scent is mine

tender flower so loved
you have my love

beloved gold mine
you are gold that shines

having you is my luck
all the luck of my life

Premium Member CLERIHEW CAPERS

a short comical
    nonsensical verse
rhyming couplets
  of unequal length
a notable person
  in view
A bio
  on which to chew
in an absurd light
perhaps
  with a tortuous bite

The Devil's Split Couplets

Devils
Pale demonic devils
Satan
The earth he is hating
People
Destruction to steeples
Desire
To cast them in the fire
Earth
A realm under the dirt
Is hell
All the devils of hell

 Ah~ write  couplets, and no, nothing more.

 Then~ prance smugly out my front door?

 No, no, I just cannot do simply that!

  Will  be crazed as a hatter, who lost his hat!

Premium Member Alone On a Cold Day Anacreontic couplets

The winter wind blows snowflakes, 
hiding the sun as day breaks.

Inside the fire speads its heat
throughout the big room replete.

Warmth envelopes me again
as I welcome this old friend.

This is a physical therapist’s refrain:
“No pain.......no gain!”

It works! It is profoundly true.
That is why I can now.....walk to you!

Premium Member Shavings

The woman ran away with the Sun
to take pen to nature's silhouette;
Round out all the rough edges 
file them down to couplets;
Lost letter shavings
that didn't fit;
Chugalug
Muse's 
gold.

Premium Member Heaven's Sweetness - Anacreontic couplets

Two stars fell down from the sky.
They winked at me and smiled “hi.”
So entranced was I to see
heaven’s sweetness there by me!
Black of midnight was his hair.
Moon glow was his face so fair.

Child Of The Sea

I was a
poet
you
were a sailor
Waves
came in couplets
words
in the brine

I was
reborn
with the ocean
in rhythm
Released
in its wonder
forever
— in rhyme

Fidelitas

Stay true to your words
embattle the storm
With rudder set deeply
each letter reborn 
Stay true to the verse
in couplets of rhyme
To capture the moment
—in oceans of time

Loves Joy Anacreontic couplets

A love's embrace intertwines ,
With vines sweet nectar, align.

Eyes aglow with passion's fire,
Verses sung, our hearts aspire.

A loves embrace, beauty's charms
sweet nectar within your arms

Winding brooklets filled narrow streams
into rivers of his childhood dreams

Youthful romance begins with a kiss
concluded in a lifetime of bliss

Love,life-long,ever-lasting

Premium Member Whispers of Heartbeats - Anacreontic Couplets


Velvet twilight softly spreads, in a sky weaving black threads. Moonlight beams as lovers play, passions dance as desires sway. Lost in whispers of heartbeats, savouring forbidden treats.

Ink Into Wine

Strength in the format,
  couplets have power

Magic in tandem,
 —mine becomes ours

Marriage so faithful,
  words intertwine

Together transformed,
 —ink into wine

Who Is This Old Woman

Who is this old woman who sits in a chair
Eyes wide and blank in a sightless stare
Attempting to edit her past unaware
That her life ticks by in couplets and pairs
And that where there is nothing, nothing is there.

Couplets On Fire

Questioning forward, 
  answering back

Ideas move inward,
  time has gone slack

This moment eternal,
  reference hacked  

The couplets on fire,
 —reason attacked
