[I'd kind of misplaced my dear friend L.E. Leone, but I've found her again! Here's her latest, a sweet love poem—enjoy!]
So you know
There's a lot of real
Estate between the hippy
Dippy free love ass-
Hole and the clingy co-
Dependent. There’s a doable
Double wide where you and I
Or any other couple can be
Unafraid, intoxicatingly
In love, entertainingly inter-
Twined with still plenty of
Air and outsideness, our
Skinned knees and silly words, heart-
Felt as felt hats with feathers
In them, twice as goofy,
Three times as strong, and half
As lonely, as independent as
Ever, where the distance
Between lips can contain a novel
Or a French fry, I'm just
Saying.
L.E. Leone

ReplyDeleteI love the playfulness of the poem, and it's sweet too without being sappy.
ReplyDeleteI like this part especially:
Unafraid, intoxicatingly
In love, entertainingly inter-
Twined with still plenty of
Air and outsideness
