After the last silly prompt response, I thought I would try something a bit more honest and me... J If this is supposed to be serious, you all now know my aspirations for the long winter months… The music was difficult to time with the words, so I cheated a little. At least I didn’t rhyme burning with yearning

Date

 

walking in an empty street

late at night intent to meet

what if he did forget

what if he did regret

was I too expecting

was I too selecting

will he not be daunted

am I what he wanted

steps sound in the open space

I turn, we smile, all falls in place

I think it's very good. I followed along with the music and really admired your decision to go with the expecting/selecting rhyme where the composer dips into the minor key. Somehow that 'ing' setting for the words works magic with the music.

 

I love that; you make me think I might have done all right in selecting the challenge for this prompt ;)

 

I can see your poem beautifully performed on stage, even in different colored dresses.

Dick is sleepless till the dawn.

Fourteen devils egg him on:

Two are dressed in leather,

Two in drag named Heather,

One's his neighbor's minder,

Five he found on Grindr,

Two are daddy-seekers,

Two of them are tweakers.

He thinks, Heav'nly Father,

Dear God, why did I bother?
