How about finishing the verse???

Posted by Lord Maurice on November 21, 2010
It was some time after August 1992 when I was studying Introduction to Literature in the university. We were talking about verses and rhymes, and we were assigned to write a stanza with rhyme (A-B-C-B) We were given the first verse, and then we had to use our imagination to complete the task.Can you do the same???It had to start with: "Every time I see you..."I came out with this:Every time I see you (A)I lose my self control (B)My eyes start flashing (C)like the lights of a police patrol. (B)Care to use your imagination and create a new one???give it a try! "Every time I see you..."

    Every time I see you
    Blood dances through my veins
    Yearning to be near you
    Giving much pain

    Every time I see you,
    I'm thankful you are home.

    And Oh yes Deuce, I can write one poem for you as well if you send me your pic with glasses! (^_^)

    Haha... I remember your gift Anele........ Thank you so much!

    @ Deuce, yes dear, this poem is for Anele. But have you seen the gift Anele gave me?

    Have I told you friends that I wear glasses too (only at home when using my laptop or reading) but don't ask me for a picture :)))

    Hehe, is this poem meant for Anele?? :)))

    For my dear friend Anele !

    Every time I see you,
    The first thing I notice is your glasses
    And I whisper to myself
    Are they right glasses or are they wrong glasses!

    Please don't mind. I know the poem is horrible but I can't write a good poem.
