Love Poems For Prizes - A Sonnet For Chris
Love Poems For Prizes
Who is this man I see across the block?
This one who offers prizes for my love;
He even claims it is fine if I mock,
The concept and the mastermind thereof!
I write for pennies, maybe twice a dime,
A vapor steam mist in this crowded storm;
So I will peddle, sell off my good rhyme,
Through metered verses that stay true to form.
I see you reading all these words aloud,
To hear yourself speaking my skillful art;
You might say now I sound a bit too proud,
But tell me, Roberts, did I win your heart?
This may get nothing, though if I'm denied,
I'll vote myself up to be satisfied!

Very nicely done! You've got my attention.
I really like rhyming love with thereof.
And you're right on with the verse. Lends itself well to out-loud reading, which cracked me up when you pointed it out mid-poem. I feel like you know me... a little too well. ;)
Thanks for playing! Winner(s) will be announced in a couple days.
Thank you, I went totally meta when I read that you were a Shakespearean actor and tried to add a bit of wit to it in order to give a proper tribute.
I'm glad you liked it!
This is beautiful, your rhymes are sweet. The way you use the conversations in this poem is awesome. good write.
