COMPETITION PROMPT
Write a poem in ‘revorto’ form.
A reverto poem uses couplets that alternate between one highly poetic and one very unpoetic line. The form is meant to jar the reader from a sense of poetic beauty to something other.
To Love is to Lie
***note to reader: read whole poem, then the first line of each couplet, then the second line of each couplet***
My love, I've been waiting to tell you
I'm not sure what to do.
that your loyal gaze is all I need, yet
I am so damn full of greed
I yearn for your love and touch.
and it just gives me such a rush.
I dream of only you at night and
I know it wasn't right, but
I muse on what could be.
please just stay with me.
