As sweet (a variation of the poet Wendy Cope’s poem “As sweet”)

Wendy Chan - English language & literature Tutor

As sweet

Though we are not so much alike

It is your kind of foreign ideas that attract me

They feel so exotic and exciting 

I like to live in the otherness that you show me

And now we smile at the strange expression

After nine years of marriage

Because it’s so true 

And as sweet as when I met you

    The poem is so sweet! I like how you start the sentence with “And”, demonstrating a sense of continuity of the sweet love that I hope the protagonist can feel forever.

    I wonder what the strange expression is.
