I happened on soliloquy
An accidental happenstance
Or was it serendipity?
Idyllically sagacious
Piquantly erudite
Serene and yet so gracious
The teacher sure can write
As faithful as Penelope
To literary craft
As delicate as picotee
With just a touch of daft.

Ay, a fine bit of work she is. A fan I be, of Serendipity. Hats Off! And thirteen guns for the Admiral of Words. Long may she write.

One of my favorites, too! This happens to be the first poem Nan sent to Passions. Gee, I guess you could even say it was a serendipitous encounter...

This is a lovely poem, and the graphic enhances it. It's wonderful to see two artforms melding together. (And see what you did! You've got Ron speaking your language!)

Me? Perish the thought! The only way I could speak Nan's language is if I went and ate two or three dictionaries. BIG dictionaries! (see - Nan would have said prodigious lexicons! And made it sound good! )
