The Blogpocalypse College Edition Part 2

Many of you asked to see some of my poetry. By many I mean one, but I'll take it! That and I promised I would. ;D

Those of you that are in my class know that last night was the first in class session. I wrote this particular poem just before it started.

Lady Fair and True

I once had a lady fair and true.
'Til one day she left me out of the blue.

So I stormed down yonder to the stews;
To find my peace in ale, that heavenly dew.

The very next day I remembered that lady fair and true.
The very one that left me blue.

I went and sought her brother, Drew.
"Drew," says I, "where is my lady fair and true?"
"The one," says he, "that left you blue?"
"The very same, my dearest, Drew!"

"Wish you then to know where thy lady whom you call true?"
"Aye," says I, "leave me not in the blue!"
"She's gone away to marry the man called Carew."
Thus ends the story of my lady fair,
Not true.

  2. Love the poetry! Always been a fan of poetry and it's close relation to song and music. Morbid as she was, Emily Dickinson was one of my all-time favorites.

  3. She was a classic! Classics are allowed to be gloomy. Take Poe for example. Thank you for the compliment.
