DnW Poetry Contest #5: Under a Tree's Shade
Both the drawing and the poem are entries to the contest DnW Poetry Contest #5. The theme for the contest was infatuation. I chose to write from a perspective of someone that has a crush on someone else. Even though it was not a requirement, I challenged myself to do a couplet rhyming scheme.
Under a Tree's Shade
Your fragrance dances on my face;
my skin craves your tight embrace,
I try to hide; I am blushing red -
blood is rushing through my head.
Wrapped in warmth, my heart flutters.
My body freezes; my mouth stutters.
You create a paradox within my spine,
oh, how I wish you could be mine.
Inside a safety box, I store
the truth: it is you whom I adore.
I am a coward; I am weak.
my life without you seems bleak.
There is no future in which I see
your manly arms holding me.
I lie in a tree's cool shade,
all alone, letting my dreams fade.

It's not in my element to rhyme, but it is fun to try every once in a while. Freeverse is definitely my thing. Thank you for the feedback!
