John Lawless Poet Rhyme

Sequidilla-1

Copley Square – circa 1955


Copley Square, cobblestone streets,

chattering liars

rattling farewell to midnight’s

dampened, dwindling fires.

Gas lights flickering

trembling at passion’s passing –

two hearts bickering.

howmanysyllables has a few quirks
it counts the apostrophe in “passion’s”
as a syllable and also counts the dash (-)
as a syllable.
