Of Tragedy She Would Not Write

     Of imagery in yonder meadow
       she had much to say
     from daffodils on rolling hills
       to ivy covered fences

     Yet of tragedy she would not write
        of carnivores contending
     for the hoof of a femme fatale
        ~ She could not bear the ending

That's really good. She should learn to write of the bad along with the good!

Hadn't really thought of that angle. Thanks for the insightful comment, Andrea. Flowers and Fragrance, Gershon

It must have been very hard on her. I can understand this. Well done Gershon :)

I suppose everyone loves a happy ending but sadly life is not like that. Tom
