At night, twisted on my stiff cot,
I hear the slap of bodies in the humid air,
The rapid animal cries
Of pleasure, the rustle of sheets.
I would pay for a woman's body,
For the comfort of shared sweat,
For the small release it would offer
From cinnamon poetry and puppet shows,
But I am student, and rupiah
Are much to be conserved.
Perhaps Sinta would come to me
For just the promise of Colorado--
Her father is a farmer and he knows
Well of trusting in the Land. But,
I must be careful of my seed;
Life decisions are poorly made in need.

A lovely poem

and I liked the ending, with it's play on farmers and seeds, although I think it is the words "Life decisions" at the beginning of the last line that is the problem--they feel too banal in the context. Lovely read though. Ty

Anonymous: My thanks

for your comment. I might disagree with you that that end rhyme was "forced" (it seemed quite natural to me, given how I talk and write), but you're way correct in saying that it ends the poem awkwardly. Thank you for your comment. It is much appreciated, and quite helpful.

Good

This is a good poem, but the forced end rhymes of the 2 last lines reads awkward.
