Rose

she's wild
she's prickly
distant and aloof
stand-offish
guarded and withdrawn
but i will always love her

Demeanor

Frost is a fashionable folkway
Rather resented by Reason.
Offish, often obtuse
Snippy, snooty, sometimes sour
Terse,  temperamental

Danish Married To a Scottish

The Woman is A Danish 
And married to A Scottish
But often heard in English:
Language she speaks with relish…

But the Rather Stand-Offish:
At times slippery like  Fish
Or like things one wouldn’t wish,
For example Leaf-Filled Dish
To be served Vegetarian 
Or Flesh to a Barbarian…

A Thief-Catching Librarian
And Confirmed True Lutheran!

Ebony Fox

Ebony fox had no idea how amazing he was.
He was a bit shy and stand offish.
I was eager to get a photo but proceeded with caution.
Gaining his trust, a tiny bit at a time
With a bite of this and a sliver of that.
It took me eight weeks, but I finally got the photo I wanted.
He ran off, and I feared he would never return.
However, he was back in two days, sniffing around for more bacon
Which I gladly gave to him.
