sometimes (A rictameter)

by Paganini Jones


sometimes
I need three words.
four are far too many
to revive this faded yearning.
tired attention wanders so easily.
a touch on skin, ever so soft
can feel too invasive
I need three words
sometimes

Author's Note: This was a challenge poem, the challenge was to write a form poem and to include 4 specific words. Is it obvious which they were?

So here you have me learning something new in this new year already. Rictameter is a fascinating form - you did it more than justice, and I think I know what the three words are. ;)

"Sometimes I love you???" Thought provoking, and not forced in terms of combining message and form. Five gold stars in my book! :o)
