Couplets from Birmingham

12 fierce sections, sharp and rhythmic - life, love, ambition, and heartbreak in couplets.
Every word hits. Every line lingers.

"Love is gentle, love is cruel,
It makes the wise feel like a fool."

"Hearts don’t shatter all at once,
They crack in silence, pain upfront."

"The old man sings, his voice a croak,
His tales of love all end in smoke."
