(Poem in the manner of Emily Dickinson)

As surely as the Daffodil
Doth prey opon the Bee -
As truly as the shaggy Dog
Will chase after the Flea -
As certainly the Termite is
Seducéd by the Tree -
So long the Days of summer to -
At last - devour me!

    Whoever can understand Emily Dickinson and her capitalization is a genius.

    I find the concept of "seduced" being a three-sylable word humorous.

    Thanks, Mark.

    Mark, did you catch these earlier ones? I need to make the archives more accessible.
