Satisfy
I want to satisfy
The need in you
To need me
I want to satisfy
Your every need
So you always need
To come back for more
I want to satisfy
My love

Notes:
Trifecta is going away. This is a bummer. Even though Team Netherworld's writing never passed their muster, we still kind of like them and enjoyed the challenges.
The Psycho has no-one in her life to inspire the writing of such a poem as the one shared above. This poem is written by one of our favorite characters to his wife. He has a tendency to write sappy poetry to her.
This is far less awkward than the awful poem that one of our other borrowed characters wrote with someone else's wife in mind. In fairness, it was actually an old poem that he wrote after he and this woman spent 666 years together in a hell consisting of nothing but kitchens with spray cheese and saltine crackers. Also, at the point when he wrote the poem, he hadn't yet met the lovely succubus who would become his wife. He used the poem to impress the Vogons, who had asked him to participate in a poetry reading aboard their flagship. He was suffering from writer's block and couldn't come up with any new material.
This blog will officially be participating in the April A-Z challenge. Stay tuned. We hope to avoid writing any awkward Vogon-appeasing poetry.

Very nice! I like the repetition of "need" and "satisfy" here - it gives the piece a sort of lilting, lulling rhythm.
ReplyDeleteDeeply romantic and the repetition of 'need' adds a veil of desperation to their love. Nice job. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteI like this. The selfless desire to satisfy another's needs is really a need to satisfy 'self'.
ReplyDeleteThank you all very kindly. Trifecta, yes, this couple does have a veil of desperation to their love--it's so cool that you picked up on that!
ReplyDeleteGreat write - Glad to have found you via Trifecta's final days. Love your now award blog! Great idea.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It sucks that Trifecta is going away. :-(
ReplyDeleteI like the repetition of "need," which lends a good rhythm here. It's also nice to have "neat" as the fulcrum point from which the story radiates (with each "need" having a different connotation to it). Good work!
ReplyDeleteLove as need, comes across in the repetition. Nice flow.
ReplyDeleteYou paint quite a picture of how much need can go into satisfying.
ReplyDeleteThank you all--I appreciate it. :-)
