Poem–“A Proposal”

A piece of white blue lined notebook paper with a shimmer of rainbow crossing it.Let’s have a terrible love-ish poem for Valentine’s Day.

I wrote this during the 2024 November Poem-A-Day challenge, but I think it definitely fits the current vibe. I might just use this in my dating app profiles.

It’s free verse because of course. When in doubt, I go free verse.

A Proposal

Do you want to hold hands
while we wait to die?
Spend nights deciding on dinner
while the world burns?
Go to the post office together
while we wait for the final straw?
Spend forever together
while forever gets shorter every day?
