Love and the Due

what a funny little poem! I am laughing out loud, thanks! And of course you're right! Yours, ~Nina

write. Matches up nicely with the smile in your profile pic. Brought me a grin, too. A thing I never have too much of. Thanx, Chuck PS: May I suggest another line to contribute symmetry, as in, for one example: Love is about the due Between the two Not the Boo Or resting after the best Between his hairy chest [As you might have guessed]

This is cute and flirtatious, I like it! Always, Cat

the word balance instead of symmetry. Love is about the due Between the two Not the Boo Or resting after the best Between his hairy chest As you might have guessed I see you've added the suggested line. Looks good. Adds not only the balance I looked for, but an extra flip of flirt. Something I did not anticipate. A good thing. Gives it more life. I'm glad it worked out OK. Your original contained three rhyming lines in a row, then two to end. The revised balances perfectly with three rhyming lines in a row with the end sound of -oo followed by three rhyming lines with the sound of -est. Another example of balance comes into play in my four-line free verse in this comment---the one a few lines back that starts out with "A good thing." Note the first and third lines contain three syllables; the second and fourth hold four each. I think balance an important factor in writing. Or considering whether good poetry really is good poetry. Usually. But especially when writing/judging rhyming poetry. Thanx, Chuck

so welcome. Yours, Chuck
