Something touched me long ago in black-and-white old movies
The sight of someone sitting down, and just before she ate
Folding hands and saying Grace, the food warm on her plate
It never left me, truth be told, and with each passing year
When I think back to simpler times, I'm always moved to tears

Iambic Heptameter
Out on porch to glimpse a sunrise
Orange sun cast gray 'on clouds
Whispy light airy sparse white clouds
On horizon not like shroud
Then as the sun inched up orange
Disappeared replaced by
Illuminating brilliance clear
Against blue blue sky
Dramatic change for human eyes
I longed to stay awhile
How many didn't even notice
Beauty very worthwhile
Iambic heptameter used as ballard stanza
Used by Emily Dickinson in many of her works
Woebegone
Full fifty years ago, late summer, we had planted you...
two tiny, wispy saplings that would grow and grace our lawn.
But mother nature came...lashed her tornado to undue
your beauty with a monstrous hack that leaves us woebegone.

Skipping 'cross the village square
Smiling like the noonday sun
Maidens gather everywhere
Errands finished, workday done
Dresses billow in the breeze
Laughing eyes, flirtatious smiles
Skirts uplifted past their knees
Practicing their female wiles
Woke up with a grunt and moan
Glad was I the sun still shone
Got back on the cursed phone
Banker's business: contracts, loans
Timepiece now won't move at all
Maidens gone ~ my tears, they fall
~ Iambic Heptameter ~
