Every so often I like to stand back and just throw words at the page, just to see what comes of it. This poem is the result of one of those moments.

 

 
MINUTEMAN
 
He was a Minuteman,
she was his lover.
It was more than a title
she soon would discover
 
A minute to kiss her,
a minute to converse,
a minute to convince her
then, “Don’t forget your purse.”
 
A minute to the car,
ten more to her pad,
a minute in the elevator,
this begins to get sad.
 
A minute to her door,
a minute to undress,
a minute to finish,
more or less.
 
A minute to apologize,
another to re-dress,
a minute to find the door,
at least that’s my guess.
 
He was a Minuteman,
she was his lover.
It was more than a title
she soon would discover.

I'm with Ron on this: unless she is a minutewoman, your poem brings me an image of a happy bouquet left to wither on the table because trimming ends and placing in water is just too much effort. Effective verbal sketch. ~~ Diana

I took a minute and read it. I laughed a minute and loved it. Some of our best things are done in the last minute. Lovemaking isn't one of them. Your poetry writing is.
