Well, I am glad you lost your bet so you can share with us a rare rhymed poem. : ) This is a romantic, macabre poem. At first, I thought this was a love ode to dean, but I learned otherwise in your dark but humorous descriptions of opposites attracted to and repelled from one another. I particularly love your line about haiku and haibun. This is a poem about daring to be you and remain you in a relationship. Often, one person's identity is swallowed up by another if they are not well balanced and reciprocal. This poem is about being in a relationship and going your own way within it at the same time.

Thank you for sharing.

LOL Hello, Andre, I am sorry I was not clear. Dean is my boyfriend so your first instinct was right. ;)

This really happened just the way I described it. Well, more or less. We were listening to a song called 'I want you to want me'. I thought it was the Beatles and he said it was Cheap Trick. We made a bet and I lost. The rest is history.
We were also discussing maggots. Dean likes to paint with maggots, I paint portraits with acrylic paints and brushes. etc etc etc

But you are right. Dean and I remain individuals as a couple. I think that is important. As Kahlil Gibran said, "let the winds of heaven dance between you"

Thank you, my friend

Writing rhymed poetry is not my forte,
I love him so much I did it my way.

damn, I wish I had a six for this!
I smiled so much all the way through this, I nearly split my lips! lol
This is so adorable, I love it.
Dean got you on this... I hope you get some GREAT reviews on it, because it's amazing!
I give it an ******** EIGHT, cause it's GREAT!
Love you Sister!

A great challenge. A fun thing to bet about. Losing was good because it doesn't hurt to take on something different. You did a great job with the rhymed format. I like the way you show your differing tastes. I don't recall hearing of Cheap Trick before, but I'm not much into popular music. judi

It is a well-written poem even if you had to write it because you lost a bet. I thought it was a Beatles' song too. The poem is lovely anyway and your artwork completed it well.

I am sure Dean will love this. Oooooh you go girl Cheers Christine

LoL I didn't notice it was lip sinking. I was too busy listening to the song. I love it. After all these years it still makes me happy.
