John asked in Arts & HumanitiesPoetry · 3 years ago

Could somebody please critique this poem?

“Heart Glue: A Line”

I could inquire whether, if I asked you out -

A movie, say – you would tell me, “No.” Then, if

You didn't want to go, you'd say “Yes,” that's what

You'd answer if I asked you out – which I

Would then be certain not to do. This way

You would avoid the guilt of snubbing such

A sterling blackguard as myself and I

Escape despair of one rejected by

So hot a little honey as you are.

No-risk seduction courts with lines like these.

But should you answer, No, you'd not deny me,

I'd have to wonder what I might do then.

I might complain you too familiar are.

Your acquiescence fast made me your friend

And as such I'd have to warn you against

Galoots like me who aren't always brave,

Indomitably strong, infallibly

Sagacious, as one worthy of your charms

Would have to be – although those same allures

Perforce reduce ev'ry mere man to lust

And horny hankering. But since

Despair and guilt are dead, heartbreak won't

Stand a chance – I'd go ahead and ask you out.

    It's cute, as long as blackguard was meant to be facetious. Made me smile. And very well-written ;)

    Its an interestingly lively patchwork of genres and

    leaps of figures of speech

    but I wonder if it would get you engaged? :)

    It was great until I read this "I might complain you too familiar are. "
