I live my life in couplets
betcha expected a rhyme here
that’s too suspect.
Maybe I’ll dalliance with a quatrain

although I’m perhaps more partial to a sestet.
I’ll try to cram as much meaning
in as few words
as I’m able.
Then again often
I’m not expressly trying

just channeling
my emotions- deepest feelings.
Metaphor and simile
sprinkled in enough for you not to see
these just as thoughts of a madman
but poetry.
