For Forever Virginia Salter I fell in love for forever but that’s a long, long time I was happy with the tether I was happy with the rhyme. But then someone threw in a mode of free verse and to a traditional poet that can really be a curse It takes away prediction it takes away good sense and perhaps your expectations will have no recompense Where before you had an inkling what you’d find at end of line now you just may hit home with only seasoned wine A loaf of bread, a hunk of cheese a glass of wine and thee was what I used to count on but now you’ve set me free Free to be quite mournful free to be alone free to find another more predictable drone. There’s something to be said for monogamous connection it’s quite dependable in monotonous reflection But monotony is fine with me I can get my kicks elsewise watching other people find ways to improvise. © June 21, 2000 |
