A little ditty. We were given an assignment this month to write a poem which was based on actual events. Now, it didn't have to be completely true, just partially. I'll let the readers decide which is which.

Was she?

I can still see the moon

Glistening off her sweat

laden body.

The movie, don’t ask.

Never saw it.

I do know, it was a double feature,

I think?

 The months passed,

and our passion grew.

Being apart was difficult

Being together, utter bliss.

I swept her off her feet

and promptly dropped her.

She looked up and smiled.

Was she gaining weight?

Nah, must have been too

many tacos, pizzas or burgers.

Something’s a amiss.

But wait! She ate like a bird.

I stood in shock.

She looked up with love.

Before I could say sorry,

She replied,

“Hey dummy, it’s okay. We’re fine.”

What? We’re fine? Oh,… hell!
