FOR ANNE

FOR ANNE

What can I tell you, Love of mine?
That I have never told before.
To say "I love you" one more time;
How many times? who's keeping score?

Another day dawns, for we two,
We face the world , we are a pair.
For what I am, then so are you;
The one for whom I deeply care

I feel the years now have some weight
They start to slow me but its true
That I can face my final fate,
For I've been blessed by loving you.

The years ahead may be too few
But what the hell, you've me - I've you!

Here was old stupid just reading along making note of alternatives then I came to last 2 lines and it finally got through my skull this is a sonnet lol. A well written one in my opinion . And one to which I relate well............stan

Like Stan, I too was wondering about the meter till I came to the last two lines and then it all fell into place.
Went back and read the whole thing, and it read WONDERFULLY well. All fell into place.
A sweet sentiment, and one which doubtless should win you favour with Anne.
My compliments,
Psyve

a-b-ab....c-d-c-d....e-f-e-f....g-g.....great, and I liked the metrical feet (structure)....the inception is not as powerful and mindblowing as the ending...but I must say I LOVE THIS SONNET. Thank you so much.

Thank you very much for the kind words. I'm trying now to make a poem from a joke. This could be a whole new Genre!(depending on how good the joke was to start. I started with "DECEPTION"
