True Love

She gazed into my eye’s and set my heart a flutter
her form was really quite divine and I could only mutter.
I tried to get the words out but my tongue had gone all numb.
the people all around me must have thought I was struck dumb.

I slowly walked towards her and her gentle gaze met mine
those beautiful brown eye’s sent shivers down my spine.
I stood there quite dumb founded at her flowing auburn hair.
I have to make her mine forever this beauty, oh so rare.

It was not what I had come for I was only here to look
but this elegant young lady I just could not overlook.
We’ve been together now for years and still I love her fiery style
But the first time I saw that dappled filly will always bring a smile.

I just knew it was a horse from the first line - recognize that feeling. Lovely Bob

Very much like Ray Essery's first time I milked a cow, so the punchline gets telegraphed a bit mate. But a good poem in itself.

Does a dappled filly have to be a horse?

I wrote it for a girl at work and posted it on her facebook site, she is horse mad.

Her husband was not impressed though


Bob

You are doing well with control of the metre here Bob.

Well done, Maureen. I thought it was a kitten.

An' I thought it was a bottle of BUNDY!

Sorry Bob but that would have been predictable.

Don't do cats Stephen - that wouldn't have crossed my mind even

Bummer, I thought it was dog!
