Teach Me With Your Smile: Romantic IMprov Sonnet
Will you teach me,
and let me see
how you’ll reach me
without poetry.

Talk to me deep
with dulcimer tones.
In my mind creep
through touch, computers, phones.
Then, at last, when we again meet,
I’ll savor your wisdom with no repeat.

Do I Write Form Letters? Romantic Emailing Limerick And Iambic Poetry
You think I write in form letters?
Would a poetic response be better?
Or would you prefer
something more demure?

you’d still slumber.
Would you call me?

Now, let’s see what you’ll do.
Another Solution Limerick
