A love in verse

A Happy Chap

There is a happy chap called Pete

Whom Allie married, she’s so sweet – 

She understands each quirk (and worse!)

In both his life and in his verse

She’ll say “Look, where this line enjambs

Has got cocked up with your iambs”.

He says to her “My darling sweet,

Concern you give my metric feet

Makes me wish them (how it rankles!)

Fair as those beneath your ankles”

But, oh, their love is so complete

It makes one think ‘that’s quite a feat’.

Naïve?

We’re made for love and we’ve retained

That childhood dream despite the care

And hard frustrations that have rained...

The Lords of Time

As fast as the day’s go down

The night lights up to newer love

The stars shine on no truer love
