Tear-stained envelope, left by the deceased, Sorrowful words inscribed to whomever, Expressed dolefully by our local priest, Tender dove, thought she would fly forever, Artist, pianist, songstress and clever, Despondency plagued, her records had shown, Hanging caused her death, physically known, Though her mental state is what had killed her, Her recent breakup, she said o'er the phone, It remained hard for her to recover. 2019 December 26 RhymeScheme; ababbccdcd Howmanysyllables; 10 lines x 10 syllables per = 100 syllables total

I see below that this was for a woman named Dolley. HOw sad that she felt she had to end her life. Very nicely done with the writing, William. Congrats on your win.

so sadly beautiful dear William. Why do you have no comments? That surprises me because it was amazing; and you are amazing in many ways. Congratulations on your placement and thank you for your participation. x:-)-luloo
