(Hey, the lockout is over - here's a villanelle for the NFL - for friends over at dVerse, a great site to check out if you haven't already.)
You wonder what it is I’m thinking of
As we are locking lips here in the car?
I have to say my heart is filled with love
For all creation – the bee, the wood dove
And giant men in spandex near and far.
You wonder what it is I’m thinking of
As you fumble with the seatbelt and shove
Me backwards, inflicting the biggest scar
I have? To say my heart is filled with love
For you is true, but it is not enough.
You know how my libido seems sub-par?
You wonder what it is? I’m thinking of
Owners and players standing hand in glove
Proclaiming peace like buddies in a bar.
I have to say my heart is filled with love
For you, but mostly ‘cause you’re splayed above
Me like you caught a touchdown from Bart Starr.
You wonder what it is I’m thinking of?
I have to say, my heart is filled with love.

Funny! I like!
you are sweet (or not)... love the refrain:
I have to say my heart is filled with love
haha that was a fun read, nicely played!
Yes, yes, yes . . . the lockout is over!
"Giant men in spandex," ha ha. Love when they smack each other's butts! This was one of the funniest love poems I've read in a long while... glad I found you at dverse, hoping to weigh in before the deadline next week. In the meantime, a love story of another kind! Amy
