*
Who would want to walk with me,
explore with open eyes,
experience the difference
between reality and lies?



*
I kissed you as a friend,
but that began to blend
into something other -
kissing as a lover.



*
Now we’re back to tit-for-tat;
a faint bit this, quaint little that.

Topheth, these under 20's are really interesting. How you guys can say what you want to in such a short time has got me beat. Maybe I just talk too much.  
Enjoyed all three.

Dee

I wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in life.     a brand

Thank you, Dee.  Some are mere exercises to help frame the mind - others, a captured wing of something great that got away.

I love these...would also like to know the rules, if any.  Like, do they have to rhyme?  Because my poetry sure doesn't. lol...good ones, enjoyed.

As far as I know - just keep the number of words at twenty or less.  As for rhythm or rhyme (and I certainly love rhythm, and rhyme when it happens) it's your call.

Rule #1 - 20 WORDS or less.
Rule #2 - 20 words or LESS.
