PAD Day 13: "A Furtive Glance"

Today's prompts from Poetic Asides and NaPoWriMo: (1) Write a "purpose" poem, and (2) write a non-apology about stealing something. I enjoyed writing yesterday's triolet so much that I thought I'd try another one:


A Thief

Today I stole a look at you;
I don't regret that furtive glance.
Hypnotic beauty shone right through
my day.  I stole a look at you,
and did it quite on purpose too.
Will I return it? Not a chance.
Today I stole. Oh, look at you!
I don't regret my furtive glance.

I love the word play on returning a look :)
