Our assignment for english was to write a romantic poem. this is what i came up with:

I don’t write romantic poetry

I don’t write romantic poetry.
I could preach autumn,
Describe in detail
Its lingering breath.
Or paint a distant picture,
Stained with
Colors you can almost taste.
I could speak of love,
Words that drip,
From crimson lips,
And fantastic heartbreak,
Goodbye girls caught in love’s debree.
I could lead you to the divine inevitable;
Where beauty’s lonely slumber ends,
Where flowers smile through sheets of snow,
And oak trees shiver until their leaves dance
To solid earth.
Where foes are friends,
And myths are written down in history books.
Where the only path to take from here is labeled
“Lovely.”
I could,
But I don’t write romantic poetry.
