Nette Onclaud Poet Rhyme

Come, Pluck a Song

What makes your smile cold?

On springtime colors bold?

Hummingbirds croon from afar

Wilder than tambourine,

Thrilling the night’s  gauze sheen.

Come, pluck the tangy guitar

Dance a belly-go-round,

Before grey hairs abound---

Be the chant of life’s bright star!
