Bicycle Built for Two

Be mine, he said,
Because I love you.  We
Belong together.  This is not
Boutade – oh no,
But rather,
Backdrop for a billion brilliant bons mots…
Billet-doux.

Notes:  The form is Pleiades.  The poem was inspired by Sepia Saturday's prompt having to do with bicycles and tandem rides, couples, balancing and fun.

  3. A lovely little poem. What a pity the two lovers have been decapitated!

  4. I think the decapitation makes it a far more intriguing picture and a perfect match for such a poem.

  5. Very clever poem, but I must confess that I took several side-trips to the dictionary beginning with "pleiades."
