Take, Take, Take
May 31, 2009

Delight in diamonds, reflections of gold,

Red to rubies, but the treasure was sold.

Scraps are stretched in times of likelihood.

Often little assists, or no one would.

Private eyes are shown the suite

Of a kingly house where select ilk meet.

While everyone else is content with living,

Who could harbor needs while divvying?

  1. It's always nice to unearth older writing we've penned. It's a reflection of growth. I appreciated this tremendously. Thanks for sharing!

    1. I like the term "older writing," as opposed to "traditional writing," Amanda. Thank you for your comment.
