Playwright

What say you to a game of cards? But, sir, how much better you are! A game of chess, mayhap is bought? Sir, you are witty, and beat you I'll not! Then perhaps a turn about the hall? Surely not, for I will fall! How's your skill with arrow and bow? I should tell you to lay low! A sword, then, is your take? Only, sir, if it is fake! Horseback riding-of this do you fear? Oh most definitely, for the horse will rear! Is there nothing you can do? Why, I'll play hearts with you! What is this if I may ask? Beware, for it's no easy task! I'm up for the challenge, what entails? Reciprocation, sir, for the one who fails! Deal-I say, when do we start? Never, sir, for you've stolen my heart!

I enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Taylor. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I am going to see if I can write something for a couple contests this weekend. Hope you find the inspiration to do the same. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. Love, Carol

Thank you so much for your feedback. I just love the Victorian theme and the language that goes along with it. The beauty of every word and sentence is just astounding. Modern speech (in my opnion) has lost the eloquence because of our hurry to say things quickly and without extra emotion. It means so much to me that someone liked it. Thank you and God bless.
