I took him out....

So many repetitions could be detrimental, but in this one, I feel they are needed. What do you think?

I took him out in cut-offs
I took him out of bounds
I took him out of uniform
I took him out of love
I took him out to the river
I took him out with pride
I took him out much later
I took him out of his stutter
I took him out for business
I took him out of his stuck-place
I took him out with my money
I took him out back
I took him from his fearfulness
I took him with me everywhere

He took me to the city
He took me out to dine
He took me with him
He took me camping
He took me into deeper water
He took me when I was good at everything
He took me with him everywhere
He took me just the way I was

I take him off the hook
I take him ringing in my head
I take him even when he's not here

He takes me too far
I take him around in circles
He takes me where I don't want to go
I take him down

He takes me away
He takes me when he should leave me
He takes me like a salt shaker or pillow
He takes me medium-well
He takes me across the river with his thick brown arms.

I read this and was confused. I read this and got it.
I read this in the evening, I read this in the morning.
It expanded my mind. I read this and loved it, and it's thick brown arms.

What a 'take out' this is...So very creative, as Ron said... Just plain crafty, Diana....

I like your take on this! It is very riveting in a way like a good song hammers in the truth. Very creative and an original, for sure. Love it.

A dauntless expression that (to me) epitomizes 'free form' poetry. You tempt the reader to step a bit out of their personal comfort ruts. E.E.Cummings did that with his typographically eccentric work. The repetition (to me) typifies the humdrum of daily living. And the colorful imagery you've utilized is indicative (to me) of all those special moments each day that we notice, cogitate, and store away. The subtext (to me) is wonderfully telling of real life. Rock the Casbah! rlc

LOL looks like you took him everywhere! And it looks like you didn't care for how he took you!

Interesting :)

I have to admit I became bogged down with the repetitions, Diana. It is possible a few could have been left out. Sorry. That just after you said I was probably a lot of fun kinda guy.

This piece has a slow embrace, gentle at first, then evolving into a bear hug and suffocation. Wordsmithing at its best.
