music, poetry, poets, write,
Write on!
'Tis said that music be the food of love
Then poetry is surely love's hors d'ouvre
The poet's hand is guided from above
And writes of earthly passion with such verve.
Is poetry perchance love's melody?
For rhyme and music both so please the ear
They complement each other splendidly
Proclaiming what all lover's long to hear.
Hark the opera singer's soaring voice
The passion in their song so loud and clear
Then for the poet, let us all rejoice
For without words, there'd be no song to hear.
Thus poetry and music are as one
Romantic poets everywhere: write on!

When will I reach the main event?
I’m tired of dainty canapés
I’ve had too many hors d'oeuvres
They are getting on my nerves
When will I reach the Entrée?
When will I meet the one I seek?
My life long dining companion

love,
Love's forlorn curt sojourn, forsaken when shaken
By trifle of qualms, charms and alarms
Withers on vine, no fruit to crush into wine
Besotted by starters, but becalmed when main course falters
How often love's hors d'oeuvres flop and scuttle main course and sweet dessert
The seeds of like, first sight thrill, and eye to eye sparkle and interplay
Sprout too fast and wilt in the light of day,
Spurned shoots thrown down the gauntlet, deflate, die and get flushed away.
