How can I coax love from thee
Kisses and sweet words fail
Hearts and chocolate pale
To grant affection towards me
What can this affliction be
That leads to such a woeful tale
Are your feeling so frail
That yearning can not see
This was for a dVerse prompt: Pen us a poem of precisely 44 words (not counting the title), including some form of the word coax. Hope you enjoy!
Great work on those rhymes 👏

I can feel the soft ache in this one, Stuart — the rhymes make the longing hit even more for me.

Some persons are just too dimwitted to notice.

Some, others just don’t know how. Then again you’ve got those who notice but don’t acknowledge. Relationships are hard. 😖 Thanks for the read Bjorn. 😊

Some individuals are clueless when it comes to the coaxes of romance. Maybe be a little more direct? (and give Cupid a generous bribe) 🙂 I feel sorry for the person, as they are going to have to work a little harder for possible reciprocation. Nice write to the prompt word, Stew.

Not all are fluent in the language of romance or speaking to those with whom they are interested. But I agree the direct approach is often the best. Thank you for reading! 😊

This has a renaissance feel to it – nice! I love the little angel / cupid statue as the cover photo.

Thank you. Yes I was looking for a bit of that renaissance feel to it. I try to match the cover photo to the poem. I’m glad you noticed and enjoyed. 😊
