Of Tasteful Trait

I speak the words...of tasteful trait For you, my friends...to get it straight To etch upon...my stone or slate These words I always...try to state "Thou shall love...and thou shall not hate" Be' eth engraved...on heaven's gate My love, to all...I shall donate From now, until...my dying date (8 lines/ 8 syllables) Single Stanza Monorhyme Poetry Contest Sponsor: L Milton Hankins 10/3/2022
