Alice Appleby Blues

All the love you can hold
leaves one, oh so cold!
Ice man! They now call me
cheap now with this affliction.
Enigma your middle name
April’s fool you made me,
pencil in one broken heart
purple haze you created.
Loneliness evermore
evening time will
bring on home
your destruction!

this poem remains an enigma for me, Harry. Maybe you can explain for me, is it a girl from long ago. It seems like the title means more than just a girls' name!

I had seen this one before and I don't think you ever told me who this was but it seems it was someone who "done you wrong" then again, the name seems so familiar to me, like a name I should already know!! I really like this one. Thanks for your comments on my poems today. Now my house is calling me "come home come home" Luv, andrea

Boy just who was this alice appleby? This one was cool!! I came way back here to tell you thanks for the comment on my Invitation to Dance. I actually have tons of those kinds of poems(sonnets) Almost 300 sonnets now, and at least 50 of them about nature. Thanks for saying it sounded English.When I began doing sonnets in 2001, it was my goal to do more than the "master" but I suppose I'll never equal him in quality. LUv, Andrea
