Flowers you buy bloom longer than most;
lighting up my kitchen table.
Kisses all over my face,
and sweet words in my ear -
you can do romance
even if truth
escapes you.
Love, you
say.

About Writing
Most people talk about things that bother them as a way to vent their emotions, another way is through writing. As I sit writing in my car, I ponder how much writing, in itself, has helped me become the person I am today. I have endless amounts of pages filled with poems, stories, and sometimes random blurbs. Writing is a window into your soul. The simple action of writing has benefited me; by helping me to achieve a better memory, helping me to learn and grow intellectually, and helping me to communicate my emotions.

What a cool form! You did a great job with the structure, the last word was so pointed!
Never heard of a Nonette. Sounds like a sixties backing group! Your poems always have an edge; bitter sweet. The romance is here but that truth line sort of shakes the poem's meaning, subverting it and making you question it. Why can't he do truth? Is he a liar? Or is it simply that he doesn't think he's a romantic? Mmmm....
Awww, this was so sweet! I loved it!
So lovely!
The lines beautifully expresses the bittersweet moments of love.
