Sat delicate, pay no mind,
She isn’t for you, not your kind.
Awaits a brave fellow,
Adorned in yellow,
To match her, petal for petal.
No disrespect intended, you see,
She thrives on his primitive abilities,
To find her, Melancholy Mellow, lingering.
Oldest Daughter & Red Headed Sister 
I like your matchmaking words in this one, Aud. Sweet and hopeful.

But why’s she melancholy if she’s yellow, Audith?

Because I was rhyming my sadness away, Duketh. I know. *balls up the poem and plays wastepaper basket basketball with my sad poetry*

Sad poetry spawns happy poetry (and wicked poetry)! Don’t throw it away! *grabs it and brings it home*
