Here's mine:
WILL MY LOVE
I carved a message on your tree, I put it there for all and sundry.
A heart, an arrow, and my name linked to yours, perhaps eternally.
Maybe, I should have waited, will my love be reciprocated?

Brilliant. So much said.
Nicely done !! i wish to put a reply to it ...
Thanks Jeeves, I like to get these things off my chest.
Hi Pretty You!! I'm waiting anxiously...
that unwritten, unspoken messages
on the tree with the heart and the arrow,
all intertwined, entangled so
Who in the world can get around saying no
Hi Gautami,
I'm still waiting
for my princess
to untangle the
mixed metaphors
of the unspoken,
the unwritten,
and perhaps,
the unseen messages
on the poetry tree.
only then will I be free!
-Andy
Good stuff.
That's so cool to see one poem inspire another like that (I went and read Pretty Me's response). And they work so well together! A burgeoning love story, indeed.
untangling
the entangled words
from the imagery
of the poetry tree
can set you both free
if only one of you
lets it be
and why not
words for poets
can go in any direction
pouring all its worth
back and forth
yet keeping something
within
