Overheard

Overheard

a bewildered simile

asked out of the poem

the metaphor obliged saying,

"no need to be like, just be"

as they walked down a sidewalk

conversing in couplets

the two of them a smiling, beguiling pair

rhyming, never thinking of 

two-timing

until the assonance kicked in

and the metaphor cried,

"I knew you would become that,

you fooled me once

but I am not like a dunce

so it won't happen again."

ahahahaha .. i love your two love birds .. walking hand in hand .. "Overheard " lifts me day this morning jacob! i tend to be too serious too much of the time .. i especially appreciate this poem my friend .. i'm in such a dry spell and without motivation .. giving a chuckle with Mr. and Mrs. poetic tooling is an easy pill to swallow .. and just what the Doctor ordered :))))))))))))))))))
