Alexis seems quite shy
and somewhat frail, Leaning, like a tree averse to light, Evasively away from her delight. X-rays, though, reveal a sylvan sprite, Intense as a bright bird behind her veil, Singing passionately both day and night. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use. |
