Forget Me Not Poem by omar ibrahim

Forget Me Not

Rating: 4.7


Forget-me-not, I felt how fair you be
the pleasing mien of you still haunts my eyes
though I must stay away from where love lies
so many flies they make it hard to see

oh, God has made a flower very fair
your petals are too shiny for a bloom
that God may let you clear the hatred gloom
and splay your scent of peace toward the air

so why do you always forget what's due?
am I so bad that I shall not find you?



Forget-me-not~=~a type of flower
form: iambic pentameter,2 quatrains and a couplet

Again, a good attempt at the set form, it follows the script precisely, and shows how difficult it can be to get it right. 'I felt how fair you be.' This phrase could only be acceptable in the mouth of a comedic peasant! What 'flies' make it hard to see, in the context of the poem?
