Undeferred Poems | Examples

To Dawn In My Algebra Class Updated

Your name is Dawn.
I know you hate my nose!
And I have mother-of-pearl
Snaps
On my clothes,

But truth is,
Seven months I have been waiting,
To ask you out!
(Don’t know for sure ‘f your folks
 Will welcome dating)

BUT

I haven’t got a Chance
Of forgetting you,
So, if you think, ‘no’,
Just… before you do,

Remember,
I am not all that I seem.
I think of you,
And float into a dream

I see your eyes, as green
As unripe, exotic wood,
And wonder whether you feel seen,
Feel understood

I look at you,
And Have to catch my breath!
I admit, I have hope fluttering in my heart!
You smiled at me,
My heart wrenched right
(And that’s no shibboleth)

Okay, I hope that helps… that you have heard,
And will respond by saying ‘yes’!

Heartfully Signed,
And hoping to be undeferred
