My Example poem

You Can Call Me, Darling    (Cinquain Chain)

Once we've

come to know each

other and shared a meal

or drink, a wink, or even more

a kiss,

a kiss

even on the cheek,

or put each other down

in fun with social repartee

well then ...

well then

you might call me

darling and I'd not flinch.

It's a sweet affectation, beats

Hey you!

Hey you

works, and implies

perhaps you know me not

yet by name and darling implies

much more.

Much more-

yet everyone

is your darling, even those I know

are rude and lacking very much

to like.

To like

me and call me

darling has it's merits.

Do you want to call me darling?

Call me.
