Brian Strand Poet Clerihew

A Couple of Clerihew Siblings

The talented Christina Rossetti
wrote carols and much poetry.
Married love elluded her,I'm afraid,
the poor lass dying as a spinster maid

Dante Gabriel Rossetti
a Victorian pre - raphelite ,you see,
with his true love,buried his poetry
but later ....could not let them be.

You've got it down and both stanzas entertained me ... CayCay Brian Strand September 4, 2016 at 2:38 AM Thank you Cay, yes it is a very good short form rgds Brian
