Excellent Unrequited love. There are various ways it can end. Thomas by Barry Penfold Love Poem Poetry Contest contest entry Artwork by fotogran at FanArtReview.com

All night longThomas waited As he had the night before Looking upward to her window Singing like some troubador Hours of unrequited love and passion Seemed a scant and poor reward For a poor devoted Thomas And the lady he adored But then the door was opened, Was this his darling pet? A hand appeared, a bucket flashed and he got sopping wet A muttered oath,and a "Don't come back" His coat was cold and cloggy Then, with a cry, he leapt the gate Chastened and very, very, soggy. Author Notes Perhaps Thomas did not sing too well.
