Let us play "Let's Pretend"
          To be so in love
          We fit like a glove
And we'll always blend.

"Let's Pretend" our days
          Are filled to the brim
          With joy, never grim
Our days be not gray.

When you look at me
          Your eyes caress skin
          And it makes me grin
You're my only she.

We'll never grow tired
          Of our love so dear
          The future is clear
And never expire.

The love that we share
          It will always be
          For we hold the key
To our lovely lair.

I guess we never grow too old to play pretend.  Thanks for the reminder Jerry.

Nice little short runs of rhyme here.  Enjoyed!  


(Having read a few of yours now, I'm thinking this one might have been a bit past your comfort level, maybe, but, hey, I thought you did really good with it.)

In other words, Bob, it stunk. Thanks for pointing that out.

I don't plan on giving up Bob. I write my poems. I know I am not a great poet. I just write my poems. That is why I checked no critiques. To tell each other how the poem affected them is one thing, but to start critiquing when I have not opted for a critique . . . I like you, and I like your poetry. Sorry you find mine lacking.
