This beautiful sentiment is the reason why I struggle with modern poetry. Sure, the words and the feelings behind this poem is loving and beautiful, but isn't it just two sentences strung together with the words separated to look like a poem? If you saw these two lines in a book, you'd think, wow...that was a beautiful sentiment, but would you think poem? I'm not tryin' to bash the poet or anything, but I've heard lines like these all my life from the people I've been with, sometimes sexier and more beautiful. I guess I'll just stick to my romance novels and mysteries!
She and I
woke up
with the same song
stuck in our heads;
our souls
must have
gone out
dancing
again
last
night.
