three times the C**k crows

three times the C**k crows

 

 

I am not in denial,

just refuse to admit

 

that I love you,

 

love you

 

 

love you

 

nope, 

 

won't say it

 

never 

 

ever

 

say

 

I love you

 

love you

 

and if you quote me on that

I will deny

that I

 

love you

love you

love you.

Persistence gets the point across. Fun version of not saying I love you! A fun read for sure.

And on the third stroke it’ll be six to three : love one
The birds always right
The clocks sometimes slow
Liked your write very original

Older men are so Romantic... experience and repetition always
brings the Roosters Crow when the Sun Rises. gently, Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

well, we are repetitious....I acknowledge that, Pat.
thank you for being a sun on WC who always rises.

I am just a Country Girl… raised on my Grandma’s Farm. I loved to hear the Rooster Crow… and Grandma milked the Cow and churned the Butter. I am the oldest Grandchild… but there are few others who lived as long. Simply, Pat

Well, his name may be Peter but that's not the 3-Day miracle he's talking about, although she could be a Jewish American Princess. I don't see denial; I see an internal argument, well developed.

Well done again, J.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

spot on, Winston, thank you,

"As Peter loved so love I, and in this fashion; with boastful promises and bursts of passion, with anxious wavering and hot denials and faith that drowns amid a sea of trials. Yet, far beyond my fitful love, I see, His love, forever reaching out to me." Anonymous I enjoyed your poem.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I appreciate that quote, Fabian...such a fit to the poem.
Hope you are well, and thanks for your visit.

I'm pleased you liked it. It's one of my favorite poems committed to memory by one of my favorite authors, Anonymous wrote such great poetry I don't know why he/she remained incognito. (laughing) I just lost a dear friend and neighbor yesterday morning so I'm smiling through my tears. He was 73.

Excellent JE-C. The Apostle Peter's denial to save his own skin - but he felt so differently after the Resurrection. Well-referenced in the context of Love.
I like the apparent informality of this piece as well.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, red...
I didn't expect a positive response to this piece...I thought it might be laughed off the board because of its apparent simplicity....but all of you really have made me aware of the deeper understanding that other poets can have into a work.
thanks again for that,
j.
