Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Blank verse

Thou Dearest Kathleen

Thou dearest, dearest Kathleen, how mine very soul doth pine for thee.

How dare mine cruel sire deign to gaol thee and cleave our love asunder!

Let not thine heart be vexed one whit that I was a party to this dastardly plot!

Night and day I pace these musty castle halls with thee e'er on mine mind.

Thou must have faith that one day I'll rescue thee from thy wretched plight,

That thou shalt be forever mine beautiful princess and I thy faithful knight!

Ralph Taylor March 8, 2012 at 6:20 AM Awesome, Sarge. Excellent entry. Reads like a winner. Good luck. Glad to hear things are going well at your house. Una's doing a lot better. Starting to eat better and gaining some weight back. Still a ways to go, but improving daily. Best to you and Vera. God bless and be well. Una/Ralphie
