With you I am in love

The Three Squared is a simple form devised by Jane Dougherty. It consists of nine lines (divided into three tercets = 3 squared) with nine syllables per line. Each stanza is mono-rhymed, for a scheme of AAA, BBB, CCC,

With You, I Am In Love
By Lisa Noe

You are my heart, you’re my universe,
You are the one that I will put first,
When we have a fight, I come out worse.

We hardly ever have those cross-words,
Because I don’t want you to get hurt,
You are everything that I am worth.

Together we make love very good,
You’re the best man In our neighborhood,
Speak special words to me if you would.
