Starless Night: the Art of Giving (Rhyme Incorporated) Part 1

I was reading Michelle MacDonald’s superb piece of art “Sea Shanty” Secretly, under the haiku master Katherine Stella’s “Yum Yum Tree” When smiling Carol Brown, invited me to her grand “Surprise Party” The charming lady of the soup was no longer feeling bad or “Sideline” After mending herself, thru helpful John Boak’s “Like The Best Wine” I am not sure, if, playful Julie Bristow told her, the miracle of “Divine” Thank God! Doret Cope sighed; she didn’t suffer from a “Stolen Love” She enjoyed the work of Dawn Drickman’s “The Tiger And The Dove” She is a good person, that I told her my secret, of having “Other Love” At the party, Keith Bickerstaffe, without her luckless maid “Ophelia” Was talking to Sir William Robinson, the great man behind “Mahalia” I guessed she asked him why I wrote “O God, The Rat Has A Phobia” Dancing flawlessly, to the nostalgic tune of Jeffrey Lee’s “Music” Was my haiku mentor, she’s mesmerized by Mahalia’s “Light Magic” But co-host, a certain Adam Piper was caught trapped, at “The Attic” I did surprise all, even William Robinson, “When I Stop And Pray” I interrupted my recitation, of own favorite “Cast Your Doubts Away” ‘Cos, I rather break my pen, but not a promise: “And To Thee, I Pray” Epulaeryu chef Joseph Spence Sr. who “Makes The World Go Round” Was explaining, his cooking, to sweet Elaine George, but “Spellbound” By the strong romantic power, of yellow “Dried Rose On The Ground” That got humble Daria Stone confused, of feeling “Unlocked, Not Free” A beauteous Deborah Simpson smiled and asked him: “Sequester Me” Joyful Karen O’Leary said, the handsome chef, will “Travel With Me”
