a study toward sonnet #225 by FisherKingKQJ
They were a lovely couple, their lives austere,
And their possessions durable and few
The front door unlocked as theft was so rare
Just a nuance between poor and well to do.
On pennypinch my eyes linger anew,
On dry, stale air in tall glass cabinets
The quaint best crockery unused on view
The sunday best of no tab in debts.
Their love measured decades at nil regrets,
Their own parents lived more spartan still
Where wood stove electric range half begets,
In a museum of testament and will.
And elderly weak with a kindly smile,
Ahead of time about the love worthwhile.
Ahead of time about the love worthwhile.
Ahead of time about the love meaningful.
Ahead of time about the love valuable.
