The Proposal

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!"

Author Notes
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"
