Notes About The Poem

Seven by Seven, Sponsor: Nette Onclaud, 1/24/26

Night of Masquerade

Vanilla scented half-face.
Nails pointed, gold filigree.
Wild flicker waltzed in jade eyes.
Red and gold diamonds in
his Columbina Rombi.
Virtuous and robust curves;
     shadows flicker discontent.

Wonderful poem but the type of young man that you would not want your daughter getting involved with - a Heart breaker. Lot of love Kim my friend. Jennifer.
