A poetic proposal?

A poetic proposal?

~

Along a paisley highway

where the rhododendrons live

Upon a curb she waited,

she had something left to give

Her eyes were like an ocean 

and you should have seen her wave,

It was just another Saturday,

with nothing left to save

I walked along the shoulder

where her hair was on the ground

Then stopped to rest a minute 

with this woman I had found

She said her name was Frieda 

but her friends all called her Claire

Though, she preferred Christina,

that was something she did share

I said it's nice to meet you

now, no matter what your name

Cause, I can see you're beautiful

with everything the same

I'm just a lonely poet

who is lost inside a song

I think I see a stanza, 

if you'd like to come along

She took my had, we wandered

through her sister's brand new yard

Where another verse was written

and it wasn't really hard

We found an old gazebo

in the park beside a tree

That's when she whispered in my ear

she'd like to marry me

I said I'd think about it 

when I had a little time

I was busy with a poem

and just needed one more rhyme

She seemed so disappointed

and I can't blame her at all

When you have found a poet

it is easier to fall

A different situation

that at times can be a curse

A thought arrived about a rhyme

to end this final verse

I looked at her and saw her smile,

my poem it was through

So I whispered soft, into her ear

said, yes, I'll marry you

Author's Note

Ok, I got this melody stuck in my head and this is what was riding along on it. Kind of strange, I know, but...that's poetry. : )

Reviews

[Svennn’s Monologu..]

i love how the rhyme slowly making it progress when i indulge in. its been quite a while now since your review on mine. keep on writing, its a blessing to read your piece

[redzone]

Curious minds want to know, did you marry her??? Come on Will, details, we readers need details!! LOl I am sure this woman, whatever her name, loved the poem. I, of course, loved it too, though, sorry, I will not marry you. Your poem is filled with fancy, (perhaps her name is Nancy?) and fun. What was the melody for your poem?

Thanks Curt. The funny thing is that same afternoon, after I posted this, the melody was gone, not to be remembered again. It was catchy though while it existed. Thanks again.

I think you're a pretty funny guy. You should lean into this whole 'poetry' thing. It seems like you may possibly have a knack for it. Lovely writing none the less, you are mostly a good time almost all of the time.

[willweb]

Thank you sir, I appreciate you stopping by for a bit of fun and rhyming. : )

[Davidgeo]

Are you threatening me sir?

[willweb]

Huh? Not sure what I said that was wrong but, sorry about that.
