This poem will be couplets
This poem will be couplets
And there won’t be much subtext
Perfect rhymes will be few
Because I’m merely working up to
Perfection. Which is just
A goal, not a must
Never to attain
Only for to train
I wrote a lot without rhyme
Poetry doesn’t need to rhyme
But I will increase my poetic rigor
And try to make Tigger
Happen. Tigger is my word
For a happy trigger, if you haven’t heard
If you like the term, please
Tell the world, it would appease
Me. To have friends helping
My word go viral, welding
The world closer with joy
By having another word-toy
To play with, to express
A sudden caress
From something giving
A wee reason for living
I’ll give a Tigger sample:
A sunset is an example
If unexpectedly you look
Out the window, and it took
You by surprise to see
Gorgeous pinks behind the tree
Gentle lavender, yellow, and a burning
Orange sun ball, because we’re turning
Away from the sun ball. Earth
Brought you this birth
Of a happiness-burst
Increasing your thirst
To stay alive
To contrive
To remain here, despite the dark
Times, through triggers that spark
More troubling thoughts
Or during life-knots
Tough to untangle
Tricky to wrangle.
So what do you say?
Perhaps make tigger stay
In your mind, a vibe
To help you describe
Something sweet, maybe
Like this poem may be
If it came in a swoop
And lifted a droop
Emotionally, to be clear
For I’d like to bring cheer
And to leave it all on the lines
Nothing between the lines
I intended no subtext
In my cute, scrutable couplets.
