A well travelled lass named Adelaide
Innovative and never staid,
Unmarried,single but no old maid-
A short life,latterly full of pain,
Her epitaph,the American cinquain.

In jeweled plumes,
Flaunting majestic tail
To court a maiden of his dream,

Takes its toll as
In our daily stroll,we
From deepest ruts of blind alleys
Quicken.

Of love's invite
Encompassed my desire,
In two soft whispered words of love,

Long days
Of August sun
Where nature blinks and shrinks
The dying grass,yellowed in sleep-
Held fast

You're more than a story to write;
You're more than a song to sing.
I wish by day, I wish by night,
That you would be my queen.
I'm not sure how in words,
I could really write or speak.
I really thought you were,
All my very own, for me.
