A charming young lady fondly cherished the hope that she and the poet might some day elope.
She pictured a future with this sensitive man and imagined the day that he’d ask for her hand.
But her dreams were all dashed when he sent her a letter in which he confessed that he loved someone better.
Pretty verses that flowed from his pen drove him wild so he married himself, by his own words beguiled.

Thanks, Daphne, for pulling this one up out of the dusty archives. I'm not much of a rhymer, but sometimes rhyme seems to be the appropriate vehicle for expressing something about poets. (Not that this is about all poets, of course!) And, thanks, Dan for your comment.
