Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Seguidilla - 2

Old sepia photographs
of our wedding day.
Fifty happy years have passed, 
now my hair’s turned grey!
You still hold my hand
telling me I’m so pretty 
true love is so grand!

Checked with how many syllables

Sequidilla Contest

Chosen line 2. I can smile at the old days ; I was beautiful then.
