Poem

She is no supermodel
but I still mutter marry me
under my breath
under her dark curls
looking up from my desk
her goofy Jewish smile
as she flutters by me

...like a Jew
she deflates my expectations
arguing with my logic teacher
throwing her arms in the air
"this is ridiculous"

this is ridiculous

That reminded me of one of Shakespeare's sonnets. Can't recall the number, but it begins, "My Mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun, ..."

Always a favorite of mine. And that's what your poem evoked for me.

I can't abide poetry. Can't exactly say why. Just have never enjoyed it much, although I do have a few which I like.

Just a proser, I suppose!
