Prompt: Write a love story in the form of a poem.
Why do you catch my eye in a crowd?
Is it your spots,
Or your colors?
Is it the way you jump,
Or your perfect smile?
Why do you stick out when others are near?
Is it the sparks that fly from your heels,
When you click them in the rain?
Or the size of your heart,
And how you share it with others?
Why are you in my dreams?
Is it your music, soft as silk?
Or your neon orange tie?
Or how you make the leaves on trees dull,
In comparison to your eyes?
Why are you my every thought?
Is it your bright coat tails?
Or is it how you dance,
For all your fun songs and stories?
How come you make me smile?
Is it your long, pointy shoes
That squeak and flop and jingle?
Or is it your funny hat,
That holds 100 tricks or more?
Your jokes, my waking days,
And your songs, my sleepless nights.
Is it your spots that catch me like this?
Or is it something else?
I can't quite understand.
