Can I Touch You For A Poem



Can I touch you for a poem,
Just a simple verse or two?
I do not live by bread alone
And once had a home like you.

Could you spare a rhyme?
A line or two wouldn't go amiss.
A sweet couplet would be
like a warming kiss.

Can I touch you for a poem
that will set me up for the night?
I will sleep so soundly then
and wake in a happy morning light.

Apparently it pays to explore the earlier pages posted in this den. Some high-powered beauty in this soft-voiced lyricism.

"Gotta pick a pocket or two", McPhagin, and you paint yourself here as the regular Artful Jack the Lad Dodger of Free Verse... except this is tightly metred and beautifully lyrical, with lots of internal rhyming going on... Sure, here's fifty! You can make even dire poverty seem romantic when couched in such ambient restlessness; you're certainly going to survive the Nordic freeze and stir an early spring when you hit Sweden next month! Hopefully you will run into the great-grandaughter of HCA who will be able to furnish you with a fairytale dream come true! :))) xx
