A Walk Along The Way

Lonely for love, longing for life

Fighting the hardness, battling the strife



Romance is your icecream, and you like it in any flavor

You like honesty, and good taste, these you do savor



The wind blows a stranger your way

To write you a poem and brighten your day



A true friend is what you really need

For this, a friend, your heart does plead



Searching and searching for someone to talk to

Someone who will listen, someone who needs too



Why did you pick me tonight, these words you said

I needed a friend to talk to, before I go to bed



Day after day and night after night

We meet together and share our lives and our plight



Questions and questions and questions galore

So many, and so different, and you just want more



About kids and family, animals and homes

About the our daily lives, our youth, or just being alone



Attitudes and actions pass over the screen

Hints of style...  use of words... even our dreams



Walking down a beach, and skating along the streets

With a breeze in our hair, smelling seafood waft through the air



Oh how wonderful, it is to get to know a friend

To share experiences, hoping it will not end



Its like walking down a street that you had never been before

Seeing the sights, hearing the sounds, going through each store



Whats on your mind today, you do ask me with glee

How are you, and hows yours day, would you like to walk with me



Let us take a stroll together, even though for a short time

And tell each other how weve been, and whats been on our mind



On and on, shall we walk, until our ways do part

May our friendship, bring us joy and gladness to our heart



May we remember, the kind, kind words, each of us may say

As we go this lifes journey,  As we walk along the way

Keep Writing

Read lots of sonnets - for rhymed word acquisition lexicon. Your 1234 is called iambic pentameter. Most contemporary lyrics are in that meter. "do" and "does" is distracting.

Friend-Talk

.

I want to be in love

share my walks,

meet and discretely share,

talk to warmth before I sleep.

.

I want to see a different face

The mirror is too cold.

Lives shared is what makes

me smile.

.

I want alone to morph

and double. Trouble is

I have not met you yet.

There is good advice in the

There is good advice in the comment from Allets.  Definitely lose the grammatical dinosaur called the "Do-Does-Did."  Sinnets from all sorts of poets are well worth your study.  Perhaps, also, look at Estlin Cummings' use of scatter rhyme as a way to losen the stiffness of the Petrarchan sonnet, and as a way to use enjambment to your poems' distinct advantage.
