Bryn Strudwick Poet Quatrain

STARSTRUCK

I first beheld her in a play;
The  leading lady on that day.
And every entrance caused a stir.
In a play I first beheld her.

By curtain call I knew for sure
That I would love her evermore.
For me there was no doubt at all.
I knew for sure by curtain call.

I kept the programme by my bed,
With her name underlined in red.
I vowed I would become a ham.
By my bed I kept the programme.

I joined next day the drama group,
To be a member of the troupe.
I thought she might be mine that way.
The drama group I joined next day.

Despite my plans I’m on the shelf.
Her co-star has her to himself.
Last week, in church, they called the banns.
I’m on the shelf, despite my plans
