Billet-Doux
With concentration-knit-brow pose,
She reads and holds the letter close,
There's good news, her joyful smile shows,
Rays of hope shine through the windows;
In anticipation's mad throes,
Left all household chores to compose
a fitting reply in love rose,
Passion has turned her quite verbose;
Shares it with her sister who knows -
"Do you think he'll like my plain prose?
Or should I pen a verse that flows?"
"Just let your heart speak, I suppose,
he'll love you more, you're whom he chose."
Finger on cheek, smitten soul glows,
Billet-doux* breeze fervently blows,
It reaches him, her kiss enclosed.
*Billet-doux ~ a love letter
