A glance and a smile,
From across a crowded room.
Could this be the one?
She called me a whore,
But I didn’t steal her man.
He was never hers.
I feel so naked
when you look into my eyes.
My soul is laid bare.
You make your demands.
I’ve tried my best to obey.
But enough’s enough.
A fleeting romance,
A kiss beneath the heavens.
A painful ending.
💔💔💔

Nicely done. I think you managed to capture the tale wonderfully. The artwork chosen worked well too to complete the overall experience.
There is a form of Japanese poetry called “Choka” or “long poem”, it is the bundling of haiku (5/7/5) or katuata (5/7/7) and it can go in indefinitely. That is similar to what you’ve done here. The only difference is… with a traditional choka… you end it with 2 extra lines of 7 syllables each.
Sorry for the lesson in poetic forms, but your poem brought that to mind. Lol

Thanks AC, I will definitely read up on Choka, and maybe try my hand at it! Thank you for your lovely comments 💝💋

You’re welcome. Lately I find myself often favoring shorter forms like haiku, katuata and Naani, because of the challenge they present… saying much with so little words.

I really need to learn the proper artform of poetry and all the different styles. I’m afraid I’m not at all clued up, so I end up free-forming all over the shop, lol! But
