Reasons Why I Cannot Be Yours by ~hauntingmewithsmiles:iconhauntingmewithsmiles:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Romantic > Teen or Young Romance > Open


I.
the touch of a poet is what I hope for
a man with a feather for a heart

II.
all your words
are prose and pantyhose--
nothing to me

III.
and maybe you're cruel
and unusual but that's what I need--

IV.
someone to realize that I'm floating through
and anchor me down

V.
and so I beg of you, who will never be a poet,
may I be yours?

That made me all shivery... I absolutely adore it. You get so much across with these few words. The only word I would consider changing is "need" in the first line, perhaps to "want", to contrast with the need in III. Just a thought. I really do love this, it's stunning.

My pleasure! :)
And I just noticed, I think there ought to be a comma after "poet" in V. Not that it's important, I'm just picky for the sake of it. ^^;

Don't worry, my comma fetish is much worse than yours.

I'm kinda surprised that I don't have one there, actually...

will edit later.

Am lazy/hot now.

Lovely poem. :)

I like the smoothness between each stanza.

but in reality, nothing breaks your fall."
- Markus Zusak

sun on your skin, all smiles
a star at your side, you fly
hands on the wheel, held tight
don't you let go, just give it time.
