almost love at first sight

It was a strange turn of affairs
We had seen each other a few times
In the local pub
Spoken a couple of times
In the street
She was attractive
No, not attractive
Absolutely gorgeous
Way out of my league
So I thought,
She had taste
She had style
And, the body of a goddess
Then, out of a clear blue sky,
Actually it was night time,
She held my hand
Squeezed it gently
I turned
Looked into her eyes,
Suddenly I saw
And that was it
Pow!
I was
Smitten
Bewitched
Besotted
So,
It really was,
Very nearly,
Love at first sight

my friend, your poetry is always fun and good

and when you step outside your boundaries it is fucking brilliant. Emotive and touching.

I bow to you,
a very fine piece.

Well Jess, I never expected

Well Jess, I never expected that, perhaps I should stop hiding behind humour.

I decided to write a book a little while ago, this is the opening couple of lines and the full meaning will not be apparent until the very end, that's if it ever gets finished. Anyway, I was listening to Andrew Motion (ex poet laureate) on the radio a few days ago and when he had finished the half hour of "Poetry" reading I thought what a load of shite. Usually what I write rhymes and scans (well it usually does) but I thought I'd post this with the question "is this poetry" I know I like the way it reads, but there is no rhyme or rhythm, so, is this poetry?
