Nette Onclaud Poet Blank verse

Star's Melody

When songbirds croon along the bay
    To cast a dusted star of teal ,
 I then recall a summer flame
  Which wrote about our truth, our dare :

And young we were ...a bliss reviewed
  The wildest lips moist as night's crest;
       A passion christening one vow
  While tinselled glow blessed this request.

    We siezed youth's hunger ...hours entwined 
 Where  cooing jays acted like hosts ;
     Yet  tunes  grew stark like omen dark
 More vicious than two hearts on edge.

So now I  hear night's  melody--
     The bay  older than ardor past
    A time when seventeen grew frail
         Held by one gentle... gentle star.
