Wendy Watson Poet Rhyme

Shantelle

Mellifluous in name alone
For no euphonic mellow tone
Resides in Shantelle's heart of stone.

A fool, I thought we felt the same
But all too soon she quenched the flame
For love was but a callous game.

A stepping stone in life was I
She crushed my heart then passed on by;
Her name will haunt me till I die.

Shantelle.
