Famous Last Line ORIGINAL POEM (Loveliness ---Acrostic) L~etting out a gasp, the young man stared at the pretty face. O~pening the curtains, he noticed a V~evil covering the beautiful E~nearing visage of a young L~ady who sat upon purple velvet cushions. I~nite resting was the decor of the patterned interior of N~eedlework with gold and purple threads. E~nursing that the horses were well fastened, the footman S~lid some cushioned steps before the carriage doors; S~o that this adorable lady may step down. How gorgeous she looked! NEW POEM Famous Last Line: "So that this adorable lady may step down. How gorgeous she looked"! (Romanticism) An adorable lady stepping down from the carriage, How gorgeously stunning she looked! Mesmerized and in awe, dumfounded and tongue-tied, The young man stood as though in a trance. As is the custom of the 1300s, it was "proper" for This lady to wear a veil over her beautiful face. Sid, the love-afflicted well clad gent, Was determine in becoming the lady's beau. The Footman having gone for a stroll, And exquisite stores being opened to peruse, The lady shopped to her heart's content; Thus leaving Miss Antasia to carry her parcels. Seizing the opportunity, the elegant gent Gallantly stepped forward and offered to help. Eying him under long lashes, esh curtesied as he bowed; And allowed him to take the parcels out of her hand. The carriage doors now locked gave Sid the chance, To woo this sweet lady in becoming his bride. What a romance was this tetetet, listening to words, As Sid leaned against the carriage ardently serenating this maid. He learnt her name, where she lived and how important her family was. She in turn found out he was a banker and owned almost half of the towne. Soon the families were merged, and formed a lasting business bond for all. These were the days of Romanticism, the American way of yesteryear. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Famous Last Line - Poetry Contest Poem Title: Famous Last Line.
