This is my first experiment with iambic pentameter. I hope you enjoy! ^_^

---

If love was but a wondrous feeling bright,
All happiness would never be the past.
My heart would never fail to feel so light!
My feelings for you, love, would always last.

If love was but a simple kiss hello,
Every day before you left for work.
My heart would always beat for you, and so,
my smile would never be an ugly smirk.

But love is something so much more than that,
It's something so complex, I cannot say.
Love is what I waited for while I sat,
And waiting for my love I sat all day.

It seems that love is more strange than I know.
I can't imagine that my love can grow.

Hooray for iambic pentameter! Got to love Shakespeare...

Anyway, I thought it was good. Had a nice flow to it and you can't go wrong when writing about love.

I wish I had the patience to try iambic... I'd end up getting frustrated with it and just give up half way through. lol

Every day before you left for work. missing a syllable

my smile would never be an ugly smirk.

Love is what I waited for while I sat, the natural emphasis is on the first syllable in "waited", your beat's thrown off

And waiting for my love I sat all day.

It seems that love is more strange than I know.
I can't imagine that my love can grow.

Symphadora

Every day before you left for work. missing a syllable

Every was supposed to be three syllables. smile

Love is what I waited for while I sat, the natural emphasis is on the first syllable in "waited", your beat's thrown off


I wondered what was throwing that off. smile Thanks.
