Joseph May Poet Quatrain

Braided Beauty

She exudes a Mona Lisa like mystique
 With a beauty beguiled by Medusa's locks
 There is no smile of which to speak
 That image the imagination can't block

 She has closed the windows to her soul
 With an expression of a broken heart
 Yet she remains calm and in control
 No tears of sorrow does she impart

 Will she ever find love again
 A sweet caress, or tender kiss
 Or is it all just in vain
 To find a love to give her bliss
 
 I only wish I knew her name
 So I could sing her a serenade
 I'll call her Eva just the same
 The beautiful girl with lovely braids.
