Ode to My Twin

Version#1

How delicate you are on my skin,
for you the weary body weeps.
I owe you the comfortable sleeps.
Loving my pyjama is not a sin.

Virsion#2
How delicate you are on my skin,
for you the weary body weeps.
Loving my pyjama is not a sin,
I owe you the comfortable sleeps.

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
I wonder if anyone likes version 2 better other than I. I switched the last two lines to have an alternate rhyme of abab?

Hello, Rula!
Another inspiring poem - an ode and in ABBA form? Very much like your sweet title and theme. This is one of the reasons nighttime is so wonderful, and rainy Sundays, too.
Thank you!

I don't know if there is a certain form for odes. I read many in different forms you try, so I thought any form will do.

I don't know if there is, either! I just noticed that yours was abba. I always enjoy and admire structured poetry!
Thank you!

Happy to give you a bit of fun dear.
The abba refers to the ending rhyme. So if you notice the ending words in each line, you'll find

Skin (a)
sleep (b)
Weep (b) as it rhymes with sleep
Sin (a) as it rhymes with skin

So skin and sin take the rhyme (a)
Weep ad sleep take the rhyme (b)

Hope this makes some sense dear.

Would either of you be surprised, that men love pyjamas too? Good tale for a good night's sleep. ~ Geezer.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

I always thought that men like women with gowns better, but yes I believe that not all gowns are nice nor all pyjamas are not.
Thank you. Your thumps up (the two of them) are priceless.

Hi, Rula!
I like both forms of your poem, but I agree with Teddy - it feels as if 'Loving my pyjama is not a sin' should be the final line. Your poem is very interesting - all four lines could actually be interchanged pretty easily in several different orders and still make sense.
Thank you!

Thank you. Your comment means a lot!
