Trip To Delaware

Terza Rima Sonnet aba, bcb, cdc, ded, ee So much alike though we are twelve years apart Different father same mother, we are twins Rebellious, beautiful with a selfless heart The age nineteen her adulthood now begins Piercings, ear gauges, tattoos makes a statement Life so far, inking the story on her skin A trip to Europe, a week she could have spent Instead, chose to come visit me for that week We had a blast together, she seemed content She is young and I am nearly an antique I am at the age where I must guide along From my own experience I can critique Before her visit we had gone way to long She plans to move here, this is where she belongs.

Oh, Jared, surely you're not an antique! Age is just a number, but I like the way you described life "inking the story on her skin." Sure, these were piercings and tattoos, but eventually wrinkles ink their story too. I hope this means your European girlfriend is coming to be with you! Welcome back, old friend! Love, Carolyn
