Blind Date

A glance
   To far to just perchance
He noticed, such a bold entrance
   To long -
A baited circumstance
So sharp as if to be a lance

Not me
   A look beyond the tree
Awkward as it seemed to be
   To hide -
A face behind a sheet
An answer much to kind for thee

Don’t linger
   Nary lift a finger
Concluded that he wouldn’t ring her
   To Ugly -
Rose a thought turned hinder
A tiny flame, now just a cinder.
