Steve Grammatico Poet Verse

Valentine's Ellip Contest

Low-cut dress
Jeweled excess
You inspire

Wine this eve
Let’s conceive
Our desire

Cordon bleu
Dancing, too
Hearts afire 

My lament
Time’s descent
Night’s expired

2/14/2016

For Gigno's Valentine's Ellip Contest

As "Ellip" is not listed among the forms, I just labeled this effort "Verse."
