A Toast

Ah, playful is the gay coquette who flits between the trees, which stand around like marionettes all swaying by degrees. She romps along, red curls unbound and flapping in the breeze, her wrap lies low enfolded round a figure made to squeeze Let’s raise a glass to this dear lass who never meant to tease, or shake our heads at those instead that try too hard to please.

As I said to Tim Smith, I very much enjoyed writing this piece. Some poems are just more personal than others.

I always hear the poem in my head as if it is being read out loud so hopefully your statement covers more than just this piece.
