Every Beauty

` Watching her board bathed in fog at the station Spectacles slide down the bridge of his nose Usually a blur, not in this situation Smudges can’t hide every beauty she shows 12/18/19 Taken from my Poem: An Unlikely Duo Originally posted: 11/29/16 For the: Arbitrium Divisa 5 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Gregory R Barden

I think I remember the original, very compelling story as I recall. This excerpt should do well, at least for me it's a winner!

Thanks again John. Not sure I would call this one compelling, more along the lines of whimsical. The original was a fun poem about a shy librarian and a blonde named Elke who carried a concrete garden gnome with her everywhere she went.
