From the onset
you caught my sight
And won my heart,
Like magic stars
We’re glued together
***
Oh! my rose
Your flowery taste is good
And your body contours all rhyming
With character well deserving,
Cuddling you to sleep at night
Keeps my soul awake
To take on the world
***
On my breath, I have vowed
To cherish you all my life,
Seeing you smile is my joy
I know no other love than this
And I pray it last long
***
In your love’s bosom
I always find the will
To climb ahead,
If this love is really a crime,
I’ll be glad to commit it.
***

Very nice, Henry. What form did you use? The first challenge of the month you can use whatever “syllabic” poetry form you’d like. The rest of the month we stick to one of the forms listed on the challenge post: Write a poem using one of these forms: Haiku, Senryu, Haiga, Tanka, Gogyohka, Haibun, Tanka Prose, Cinquain, and its variations, Etheree, Nonet, Shadorma, Badger Hexastich (hexastich for short), and Abhanga. Thanks for joining in. ❤
