Not a Romantic Poem

Copyright 2021 by Kenneth Van Camp, all rights reserved.


You tell our friends I'm a romantic -

Much more than I used to be.

You tell them about the flowers I bring,

The love poems I write,

      the shows I take you to see.


You tell them about the candle-lit dinner

With the classical violinist I hired,

In the gazebo by the lake

Where we ate and danced,

      and danced until we were tired.


Silly woman - I'm not a romantic!

That's not the reason for the things I do...

It's only to see the sparkle it brings

To your eyes when I tell you

     I'm so much in love with you!
