Terry Burns Poet Rhyme

Man About Town

Where dost thou go o’ fair one? 
I go to see the setting sun.
Would thou care if I did follow?
Dost though wish my innocence before the morrow?
Dost though question my intent?
Many maidens’ hearts have you spent.
Lies surround me like a swarm.
Yet for me your bed is warm?
Do not tarry with my heart.
Then from me you must depart.
Your beauty will disturb my dreams.
To many others you say it seems.
Why dost thou tear me down?
You know not love, man about town.

It brought me joy. I have no idea what you are referring to regarding your win. Did you join one of the contests sponsored by PS members, or the one organized by the sponsors??? Either way...It's all good!
