If I were but a poet, …and if I had a pen, I would write a sonnet, …in words of way back when, I’d write of kings and maidens fair, …full moons upon the moor, Of gallantry and midnight trysts, …behind stone castle’s door, Perhaps a joust with armored knights …black knight to feel pain’s lance, With the victor goes the spoils, …sweet joys of love’s romance, But I am not a poet, …nor do I have a pen, So I guess I’ll go to bed …to dream of way back when. |

A poetess were she to be ...And if she had a quill She'd write her verse of fantasy ...Of romance, flair and frill Too much ado since days of yore ...Yet turrets' doors still ope For gallantry just as before ...Entreat romance with hope That o'er the castle moat might prance ...A white knight and his steed Fair maiden's hand in lovers' dance ...A tryste henceforth decreed She is a poetess perhaps ...Alas without her quill Although she knows of time's elapse ...Her muse enwraps her still. |

I agree with jo, perhaps you jest? ![]() Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Ah, but don't you know you are a poet ![]() If I were but the pen you hold Between your finger tips I'd ink the fragile web of words Afraid to leave your lips I'd scribble hearts in poetry I'd draft out love in rhyme I'd write an epic of lost souls United throughout time I'd savor every word and line The two of us composed As deep in thought you'd turn to me Your graceful head reposed And when the darkness finally fell When day succumbed to night You'd turn and softly lay me down And gently bid me night |
