Refined Romantical Woman

Everyone said how gentle the mayor's daughter was,
Desiere' was a romantical woman, kind and refined.
I tried to get to know her, but there was a teensy bit of fuzz.
On her fancy pink dress, and she began to grouse and whine.

Who brought it in? She demanded, smoothing out her satin.
Someone pointed to me and said, “Probably that Latin.”
I thought it was rude, but not as rude as she.
For at that second she began throwing carnations at me.

(chuckling) I found this poem to be quite mystifying, which is a good word for saying I did not quite understand it. I can certainly picture the images. I like it, but like Terry, I'm going to have to read it several times to figure out why.

Hahaha It was written specifically for art of a beautiful woman surrounded by carnations.
