Rhyme she said
and in my head
I thought, I could do this,
I can try
and then my mind
began to fly.

What is it
that I should write about;
of pain, love, fear, or doubt
or should I write a happy tune
of lovers holding hands
under twilight moon.

So many choices!
What should I write?
Of light, of day, or dark and night,
of moments held
in passions sigh

perhaps of broken wings
learning to fly?

Or of crying, lying, and losing trust;
of caring, hurting, animalistic lust?

Write, I will, while trying to rhyme.
Forget the meter! I haven't the time!
Asked she did, so I will
in hopes that I'll be able to fulfill
the expectations of her request
and I'll do my very best

to make it rhyme
to beat in time
right down to
the very last line,

just so that I can see her smile
from here, to there, across the miles

where night is day, and day is night
it is for you my friend, that I now write.

I know she's smiling
I certainly am...

Perfect Donna!
I'm smiling and I'll bet 'she's' smiling too.
Hugs YOU!

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again....

I love this.  You surely have no shortage of muse.

Hey, you're on a roll!
I wish more would rhyme
some of the time
and not be so droll.
