oh
no john no john no john
NO
far too faded
far too jaded
she took the bait
with silver hooks
sealed her fate
with his good looks
too many wines
too many times
beguiled by words
now not heard
will walk the golden sands alone
romance the sea and write some poems
"Beguiled by words now not heard ... ", rings all too true!

ReplyDeleteAh, an old story!
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated to note Donne's response to Marvell, which I had been unaware of. (Have looked up the whole poem now.) Thanks.
Sorry, the Blogger glitch was active when I posted that. 'Twas me, Rosemary.
DeleteI love the music you shared, listened as I read and continued until it ended. This happened to me ONCE, I learned my lesson. Great response / write, Rall.
ReplyDeleteJohn, the master fisherman, casting poisoned bait to catch a choice fish. You saw through his wily strategy :-)
