RHYMING, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Dear words, alike yet deftly different
Last Line: Be shrewd in rhymed divergence to express.
Subject(s): Rhyme


Dear words, alike yet deftly different,
Sing me the joy of rhyming everywhere.
Sing me the leaves the poet-tree doth bear,
One thought through many a matching variance sent.
Sing me the clouds by minstrel breezes blent,
Sisters that one white robe diversely wear.
Sing, with cleft chord attuned, the rhyming rare
Of master's hand on some rich instrument.
And hither dance, twin sisters, of a height,
Twin miracles of mated loveliness,
Yet in the eyes of each her own dear light,
And on her lips a differing caress.
Come, dancing words, this delicate, fair sight
Be shrewd in rhymed divergence to express.
