In Praise of Susan Ashley

S   he weaves her magic with every write
U   nforgettable verse, enchanting delights
S   onnets, collaborations, free verse, rhymes
A   stonishingly fresh imagery, pearls sublime
N   uanced romanticism, so delicate, so fine...

A   iming her Cupid's arrow straight at our hearts
S   teamy, sultry, sensual masterpieces of art
L   ove affairs exquisitely conceived and created
E   ach phrase, impeccably crafted, has lured and fascinated
Y   ou and me -- as we thrill to her wizardry, captivated
