Iambic pentameter doth not constitute traditional
standard genre for a debtor,
I see no reason with rhyme
why non-conformist modus operandi
cannot serve mode
to communicate pursuit
as computer repair technician
and letterman go getter,
which honest to goodness confession
hopefully affects against
other respondents at least a bit better.
Feelings flood in seismic waves
when soulmates drift apart,
grief already cloaks psyche of mine
the sole brother of an older sister
hopefully out living our late mother,
who lived to the age of sixty-nine
awaiting verdict,
hence the following morbid words I outline.
duped me time and again
inducing yours truly
to question my intuition
mountebanks such as one ace,
who calls her/himself Anita George
she/he claimed we knew one another
based on a virtual acquaintanceship

'work' or 'labor;' a French form
of Amelia gained international fame
from the 2001 film
Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain,
embodying both strength
and delicate charm).
Ah...,methinks days of yore,
when as kids playing
you got donned teacher role,
yet rooted in the present wherefore
nothing explains
with rhyme or reason,
why thee cursed
(in regard to the youngest
of our deux daughters,
who as an infant diagnosed
with development delay,
and blessed with needs based
supportive services so
academic accomplishment
warrants a commendable
accolade of praise,
no matter she matriculated
and graduated after
about a half dozen years
amassing the necessary credits)
