Marguerite

The old man plays violin. soft, yet bittersweet A songbird concerto and dreams of Marguerite. Those fifty years ago By steeple creek It was cold, ten below. He proposed on bent knee. They danced in the snow. Her ring a Marquise. Through Life's ebb and flow Their love was complete. The old man plays on soft yet bittersweet A songbird concerto and Dreams of Marguerite. Entered in the Painting Inspired Poetry Contest: Sponsored By Lisa YY. Picture # 3.
