Two Lovers (A Triolet-Wk 27)

Sarcastic form poem about lovers who quarl.....a lot, yet still remain together til death.

Two Lovers

Two lovers, so I hear
Fought ‘til death, their love so dear
The rise of voices, curses fierce, these
Two lovers, so I hear
Twas hazardous to venture near
For plates were hurled at dinnertime
Two lovers, so I hear
Fought ‘til death, their love so dear.
