Roses

~~~Roses~~~

The roses wilt, 
as roses do, 
o'er loveless guilt 
of Fortune's few 
who decry, "Thou art 
to leave us not,
else, like the rose, 
we, too, shall rot."

Chester McButternut

~~~Chester McButternut~~~

Chester McButternut saw himself 
as one sonnet in a quagmire 
of loosely sewn pillows. 
"Love tryst I'll be 
if the Good Mistress see," and so 
tattered the ink from the quill.

Angels

~~~Angels~~~

If the wont of angels is to waft
amongst the birdsong, flit and laugh
then, by some courage, let us pray
we'll, as the angels, merry make.

Brimbee McFee
always took her tea
in the public of Marquis'
parlour.
Whilst other dolls kept hidden
she perched by candle lit and
read our Lord
Byron.
