Hello Poetry Lovers
Today we return to the Skeltonic section, skeltonic love in fact. A very poignant poem written in this form by talented poet, Trisha Broomfield. A sad situation told in a clever point of view. I know you’ll love it.
Skeltonic Love
You say you love me dearly
but our coupling is yearly
a relationship so nearly,
another night another bed
you rest your weary head
look where your fame has led.
You’re up there on the stage
a different town, a different page
only your body you engage
while your mind remains aloof
as if I need some proof
you’ll soon be on the hoof
your talent is undoubted
and from the rooftops shouted
every rule there is you’ve flouted.
With attraction so enduring
I still find you alluring
but you only love me ‘during’.
