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.
