A Skin Deep Poem

A chapter in the book Romance Poems

The Proposal

by Treischel



The path is bent
Where I went

This man proposes
Among the roses

With pretty pleas
Down on my knees

In early Spring
I proffered ring

Near flower bed
The words I said

So fine,
"Be mine."

Then unabated
I patiently waited.

I knelt there
Hand in air

To hear the word
I wanted heard

The sweet caress
Of whispered "Yes!"








A romantic spot is a perfect place to make a wedding proposal. This one at Como Park near the Frog Pond has seen many.

This poem is a Skin Deep Poem. I was challenged to write one by Ritchie, 9999pool. The format "SkinDeep" is developed by Fanstorian 'amada'. The 'skin' is the short form for 'skinny' meaning a very lean poem with 2- 4 syllables per line in couplets in any style.
The requirement of EACH couplet is:
1) The first line makes a statement in a short (Skinny) line
2) The second line gives depth ('Deep') to complete the couplet
3) The poem can be written in any style
Hence the name, "SkinDeep"
