Classic and Contemporary Poetry
BY DEGREES, by BERTON BRALEY Poet's Biography First Line: I make a very modest plea Last Line: Perhaps you'll say the word. Subject(s): Kisses; Love - Beginnings | |||
I make a very modest plea To which I hope you will agree; I'm in no rush To make you blush At my affection hot; But, love me now a little bit; To-morrow add a bit to it And as the days proceed to flit, You'll love me quite a lot. Your maiden doubts I would not press By begging for a sweet caress; I'll give you time To learn that I'm A patient chap, I wot; Butkiss me now a little bit, To-morrow more, if you see fit, And after you are used to it You'll kiss me quite a lot. I know it isn't in your head That I'm the man you want to wed, But still you ought To give it thought, Although it seems absurd; Sothink of it a little bit. To-morrow give more thought to it, And as the days proceed to flit Perhaps you'll say the word. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHY I MIGHT GO TO THE NEXT FOOTBALL GAME by DENIS JOHNSON THE POOL by ALEXANDER ANDERSON COZY APOLOGIA; FOR FRED by RITA DOVE YOU NOW HOLDING THIS BOOK IN HAND by ALICE NOTLEY FALLING IN LOVE IN SPAIN OR MEXICO by RON PADGETT WHEN LOVE WAS BORN by SARA TEASDALE |
