    • is unsure if the poetry I've written lately is too angsty/private/poorly written to post or not. Hmmmm.

    High Standards

     Let me tell you about someone
    Who should be an example for all men
    Someone that you should think about
    Before you start to date again
    Anyone who doesn't imitate him
    Shouldn't be in the running

    He calls you beautiful
    He sacrificed for you
    He thinks you're wonderful
    He's always there for you
    And anyone who isn't
    Shouldn't be in the running

    He knows you're gorgeous
    He makes you smile when no one else can
    He never lets you go
    He loves everything about you
    And anyone who doesn't
    Shouldn't even be considered

    He cares so much about you
    He gave his life to save you
    He made the world and then
    He loved you more
    And anyone who wouldn't
    Shouldn't even be considered

    Thanks! I'm trying to find a good balance between structure and flow, and I'm (obviously) not there yet.

    I like this one. It doesn't always rhyme and it doesn't always scan. But it illuminates.

    I know about you and the rhyming. .

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
