Love Poem: Over a Barrel
Joseph May Avatar
Written by: Joseph May

Over a Barrel

Ink stained papers scattered at his feet
 As upon his muse he will draw
 His words are for a girl he thinks so sweet
 As his dog offers a helping paw

 His labor of love requires words sublime
 With true feelings coming from his heart
 A  poem, with beautiful rhymes
 He soon finds the words to impart:

 "You are my moon my stars,
 My sunshine in the falling rain
 Whether you are near or far
 You I adore my dearest Lorraine"

His emotions had risen to the brim
Love had brought out the poet in him
