 rings neat as Saturn's,

Jolie Laide [Common Meter]

Posted on March 11, 2023 by B Gourley

I've seen in ordinary eyes
  a special twinkling glow.
 In rough and sinewy muscle
  I've seen a grace in throe.

From rotund torsos, I have seen
  a lithesome prance or strut.
 I've seen a thing called character,
  in schnozzes that kink or jut.

If beauty below the surface,
  it finds you splendor-blind.
 Then defect 's not in the object
   but in the viewer's mind.

Nom de Polis [Blank Verse]

This town has known many a name
 of ancient, medieval, and modern kind.
It's known more slurs than names, by far,
 and yet this people place remains.

 seen from a distance,
  merge to an ideal.
