one syllable love

entry picture

I don't just want one syllable sex

I would much prefer a two syllable romance

That leads to a three syllable commitment

In a stable four syllable relationship


Even sweeter if blessed with five syllable serendipity


But, most importantly, we must be four syllable compatible

Sharing something deeper than three syllable attraction

For without mutual care and two syllable respect

We won't have found one syllable love

Fantastic Paul. I hadn't twigged the syllable count until I read the other comments; what a dufus! Great stuff.

Ray, what a wonderful thing to say about this. I felt honoured to read that. How incredibly generous of you.
And happy VD to you too, please accept a man-hug ?

Col, I fear a contagion of VD. There is a tad too much poetic promiscuity on here today ? ?

skilfully constructed, wilfully conceived , and thrillfully read Paul. It is that rare thing, a piece contrived that works well.

Ray, happy VD by the way.

Col, I hadn't intended to be so PC on VD ??

This is so kawaii - that's Japanese for cute. I really enjoyed counting the syllables myself.
