Response Poem To The Passionate Shepherd Poem by Becka Rhodes

You seem so charming
You seem so strong
But what you are offering is wrong
Love to you is only temporary
Love to me is eternity
You only want me till flowers die
Not forever by your side
With love you cannot forever hide

You offer a bed of roses to me
Soon they will wither and die
Where do I sleep then?
Outside on the cold ground?

If this love wasn’t temporary
If this love was true
I would have been glad to have met you
But because it’s temporary
And not so true,
I’ll have to pass this time
I’ll say toodaloo
