Hi, I murmur.
Hmmmm, you softly groan.
Had a good day? I ask.
It’s better now, you assure me.
Ahan? I tease, Why is that?
You know! He chuckles.
Not really! I prevaricate, Tell me, na!
Mmmm, just that quiet note, smilingly.
Well? I persist, childlike.
For this is no less a game
A Hide-and-seek of utterance!
You’re there, I’m here.
But today, I’m e e cummings
And I carry your heart in me!
Purr-feckt, I say.
And yet, I add
And yet, he picks it up
The day can get better
If you’ll just open the door!
What else is left to say?
But
Touché
🙂

Day#5 of #NaPoWriMo 🙂
Touché is a favourite word that I don’t use enough 🙂
e.e.cummings is poet extraordinaire, and one of my personal favourites is his “i carry your heart with me…” poem

A poem titled ‘Touche’
Is our quota for today
For compliments she fishes
For open doors he wishes
And Cummings takes her heart away!

Just wanted to say, “i carry your heart……” is one of my favourites too! A love poem, where its freshness lies not only in its message, but also its quirky punctuation…..:)
