The rhyming couplet thread

[Doubt The Rabbit]

Well I must inform you that my eyes are not much blue, but instead, they are a dark, cold, and slightly psychotic brown.
Below which a yawn puffs from my chest as I bid my little Eight into the grave I have lovingly dug into the ground.

 

[Badjedidude]

Firstly, let's get this straight:
I'm not your "little Eight."

 

[Doubt The Rabbit]

If you refuse to be my Eight, then could you, if you please,
Be my little epic-writing trendsetting Artiste? <3

 

[Bob Arctor]

Don't be slanderin'
The orange that is Mandarin.

 

[Badjedidude]

I shall be neither your artiste, eight, or fuckboy.
I suspect that withholding the latter may bring me great joy.

 

[Okiedokes]

You're like a calm breeze in the middle of a storm
whenever it's cold outside, you keep me warm.

 

[Okiedokes]

Different colored leaves on the damp road I walk upon
I look up, the air looks white and feels cold, mist on the lawn
Look at that tall tree ahead, so black and rough
I wonder how old it is, I look up.. wow it's so tough
Looks to be much older than most people here
I kind of lower my head as I start to tear
If this tree can survive so long in the rough patterns and seasons of life
so can I, and so can you, let's make this true.

 

[Badjedidude]

^^^That's a couplet? I am surely impressed.
I thought only two lines would pass the test.

 

[Okiedokes]

Why thank you over there, somewhere I don't know
just feel these words I put in each row.

 

[mintymint]

Those three hanging from the wall
Were barely touched this fall

 

[mountainhare88]

With frozen chicken but not the oil
My pan-fused meal made me recoil

 

[WishingWell]

It makes no sense you went away
I should have known you would someday

 

[mountainhare88]

Continuing with my dinner theme,
I'm not as hungry as it may seem.

 

[Okiedokes]

It seems a lifetime ago, all the things most people would dream of
but those things come with a price tag, and not of love
Houses, boats, possessions can only give you so much
They cannot supply the happiness, or the warmth of a human touch.
I'd rather have nothing as long as there was much care
than to have everything, and a broken heart in need of repair.

 

[mountainhare88]

Although my hair grows down to shoulders
My ears could not be any colder

 

[Okiedokes]

In the midst of life and it's expensive trials
I sit there being ok, reading your words and many smiles
Thank you for yesterday, thank you for today
Thanks for being you, I wouldn't want it any other way.

 

[Bob Arctor]

The morning has gone all too soon,
And left me here facing the afternoon.

 

[Okiedokes]

Doesn't really matter what goes
we're here together through the highs and lows
A little company to ignore the world for awhile
thanks for just being there and making me smile.

---

This is the day that we are given here
tomorrow is not promised, but have no fear
We can't control what happens anyways
Hold your children close, and hold hope for many more days.

 

[mountainhare88]

I long for ice and sticks and pucks,
The pro hockey ownership sucks.

 

[Okiedokes]

A deep look in your eyes, a smile you bring to me
all the warm feelings that take over, I never thought this could be
The first time we talked, I had no idea that this would take place
Till I got to know the person you are, and seen the wonderful smile on your face.

I'm so glad to be yours, Dark Poet. *kiss*

You inspire me.
